ASX Announcement 15 February 2011

==> picture [199 x 84] intentionally omitted <==

Additional significant high grade intersections from Kangaluwi Copper Project confirm extensions of copper mineralisation down dip and along strike

  • Further results of assays from previous drilling conducted on the Kangaluwi Copper Project indicate increasing width and copper grade with depth

  • Recent results include high grade intersections, up to 17.6% Cu and 2.4 g/t Au

  • High grade copper and gold assays confirmed by repeat check assaying

  • Wider intersections with higher grades extend down dip and along strike to SE on Kangaluwi limb of synform structure

  • Wider intersections point towards potential substantial increases in resource tonnage estimates

  • Kalulu prospect requires in-fill drilling to enable previously reported, wider, high grade intersections to be incorporated into JORC resource estimate

  • Assay results tracking geophysical VTEM and geochemical soil sampling extending to SE along strike

Zambezi Resources Limited (”Zambezi” or “the Company”) has received additional assay results from samples submitted from deeper intersections from the previous drilling campaigns at its Kangaluwi Copper Project in Zambia. These confirm that the mineralisation extends at depth and in places is wider (up to 7.9m) and higher grade (ranging in grade from 10.4% Cu up to 17.6% Cu) than previously encountered at the Project.

These very high grade intersections have been subjected to repeat check assays, conducted by Genalysis Intertek in Perth, which confirms the high grade of copper mineralisation.

Assay results have been received from multiple intersections from twelve diamond drill holes (KNGDD00 20, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 32, 36, 38) and two reverse circulation holes (KNGRC 168, 169), all drilled on the Kangaluwi Prospect, the northern limb of the synform making up the Kangaluwi Copper Project.

These diamond drill samples are from deeper intersections from previous drilling, ranging from 139m to 321m depth and indicate extensions to mineralization at depth.

Significant intersections, with results of check assays in italics, include:

KNGDD0026 between 208.94m to 221.44m with 1.28m at 5.63% Cu, including 0.39m at 17.61% Cu and 2.08 g/t Au ( 16.7% Cu and 1.88 g/t Au ); 7.89m at 2.78% Cu, including 1.7m at 10.44% Cu and 0.55 g/t Au ( 9.63% Cu and 2.13 g/t Au ); and between 259.67m to 262.27m with 2.60m at 0.99% Cu, including 1.24m at 1.43% Cu ( 1.35% Cu ).

KNGDD0028 between 238.77m to 279.9m with 2.40m at 0.86% Cu, including 1m at 1.13% Cu; 5.73m at 0.54% Cu, including 1m at 1.11% Cu; and 2m at 0.48% Cu, including 0.44m at 1.27% Cu

KNGDD0020 between 198.25m and 205.91m with 7.66m at 0.71% Cu, including 2.75m at 1.3% Cu

KNGDD0023 between 181.11m and 184.6m with 3.49m at 0.88% Cu, including 1m at 1.64% Cu

The results of the assays are appended below.

The results from the drilling have tracked the coincident anomalies of the soil geochemistry of the previous soil sampling and the results from the earlier helicopter borne Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic Survey (“VTEM”) geophysical survey. Some 1810 line km were flown during the Airborne Geophysical Survey conducted by Geotech Airborne Ltd in May 2008. Earlier interpretation of data from the VTEM survey in conjunction with assay results is providing an increasing degree of confidence in a strong correlation between distinct trends in the VTEM data and the position of higher grade copper mineralisation.

The total magnetic intensity responses reflect major changes in the magnetic minerals content in the underlying rocks. The amplitude of the magnetic anomalies is directly related to the structurally controlled sulphide mineralisation. The assay results are tracking SE along strike of the anomalous geochemical and geophysical anomalies along the limbs of the

synform. This VTEM anomaly extends for around 3.5 kms on the portion flown on the Kangaluwi limb, of which around 1.5 km has not yet been drilled.

According to Zambezi’s consulting resource geologists, Caracle Creek Consulting, the emergence of higher grade intersections at depth may have implications for the current mineralization model being applied to Kangaluwi. Some holes to the SE may not have been drilled deep enough to intersect the mineralised zone given that the plunge is towards the SE and considering that the geochemical signature in that area was poor compared to the rest of the Kangaluwi zone. Given the higher grade intersections now being recorded, it is recommended that additional deeper holes are drilled before closing off the Kanagaluwi side of the orebody.

With higher grade and wider intersections in the hinge zone of the structure at Kalulu, and now higher grades tending SE along the limbs of the synform structure there is evidence for possible substantial increases in resource tonnages both in the hinge zone of the synform and along the strike of the limbs. Additional fill in drilling is required on the Kalulu Prospect before a JORC compliant resource estimate can be made that would include the higher grade wider intersections previously reported.

Commenting on these results Zambezi’s CEO stated that “the ongoing success of the assay programme, now indicating higher grade and wider mineralisation from recently submitted samples, indicates the potential of the Kangaluwi Copper Project both down dip and along strike. In discussions with consulting geologists there are positive indications for mineralization to continue to be intersected following the strong VTEM anomaly which mirrors the geochemical soil sampling conducted previously”.
