Airstrip Copper Airstrip Cu geochemistry and Maibele North
Airstrip Copper
Airstrip Cu Conductors Part of the IP Survey area at Airstrip Cu showing interpreted conductors in pink. Many conductors (total strike 1900 m in IP area) are barely drilled or not yet drilled area Discovery conductors may have a strike length of 900 m
Airstrip Copper
Drill Out Area Initial drilling in December 2009January 10 intersected the Airstrip Cu-Ag discovery in holes 3, 6, 7, 10 and 11.
Holes 12-52 have now been drilled, some to drill out the Five Element type veins found to be present.
Airstrip Copper
Ground Magnetics 25 metre by 5 metre ground magnetics has a detailed given very subsurface view of the magnetic bodies present. There is no magnetic signature with the Airstrip Copper mineralisation
Dibete
IP Survey – Dipole dipole IP carried out surveys over 1250 metres of strike at Dibete. Prospect open in both SW and NE directions.
3D modelling carried out to assist in target definition.

Dibete
Initial Drilling Initial was drilling aimed at ground EM conductors and at geochemical anomalies. Later was drilling aimed at IP anomalies

Supergene Cu workings shown in on satellite orange image
Dibete
Supergene Cu A supergene blanket of silver copper mineralisation of to 18 up metres thick is present.
Grades of to up 1.78% Cu and over 28gAg/t an 18 metre intersection.
Supergene Cu-Ag is shown in brown overlay
Dibete
Drilling Program An initial program of 12 holes RC an diamond holes was drilled.
the second of holes program 13-22 was predominantly RC with some drilling diamond tails.
Supergene Cu workings shown in yellow-orange

Maibele North
IP Surveys The Airstrip IP Surveys overlapped the Maibele North prospect and strong anomalies were present. The deep target is currently being drilled

Maibele North
Magnetic Surveys The Maibele North host magnetic body is down faulted to the west by 150 metres and that part was not previously recognised or drilled. A further 600 metres of strike has been identified.
Horizontal subsurface view to the north showing new holes in progress currently.
Maibele North
Geostatistics Study The Maibele North mineralisation was studied geostatistically to detemine whether it could be classified JORC and to determine what was by categories to raise the status to indicated or better. zones indicate areas required Target where closer will confidence in the resource. drilling improve
Maibele North
Geostatistics Study An was able to be defined on the exploration target basis of the geostatistical study which divided the prospect into 100,000 separate blocks, each of which was independently assessed.
. An exploration target in the order of 1.1-1.7 million tonnes is expected to be present at a cut off grade of approximately 0.6% Ni or alternately a target of 4-7 million tonnes at a cut off grade of 0.3% Ni. Grades of Ni would be expected to be in the order of 1% and 0.6% respectively without any estimates having been made for PGE and Cu.

Drilling Program
Mmamanaka
Drilling Program Results of the were as the results program disappointing assay have shown the sulphides to be nickel-poor. Elevated nickel – values of between 0.1% 0.24% have, however, been recorded in broad intersections from the ultramafic host rocks though little or no nickel sulphides are associated with these zones. The nickel is associated with rock forming minerals. Barren or near barren sulphide lenses are often found in close association with highly mineralized zones of sulphides in both nickel provinces and in other base metal VMS provinces. The scale of the deposits found is encouraging and demonstrates that the Shear Zone can still Magogaphate contain preserved major sulphide bodies.

Mashambe
Drilling Program
Drill holes over a 900 metre strike length of the 7 km anomaly. Results were disappointing but did not eliminate the prospect potential
Matsiane
TARGET AREA
A Cu-Pb-Zn-Au anomaly in a fold nose is associated with an extensive GEOTEM anomaly. IP and ground EM were over surveyed the zone with the yellow overlay.

Matsiane
IP Survey Initial Gradient Array IP gave the resistivity data shown in colour and the chargeability data shown as contours. Yellow lines are lines dipole-dipole Interpretation of the dipole-dipole IP is shown on the at the same right scale as the Gradient Array image. Conductors shown in magenta.

SUMMARY
Recent drilling has been carried out on four prospects with significant results for two of those and results not in for Maibele North. A total of 84 holes have been drilled for 9750 metres.
Potential vein style copper silver and supergene copper deposits have been discovered in the current drilling.
Further potential in newly recognised extensions to Maibele North is considered likely and the geostatistics study showed up areas for further work. VTEM airborne EM are about to commence over some of the surveys highly prospective ground the Company holds. Two additional prospects are approaching drill ready with additional geophysics desirable to close off anomalies. Further data interpretation and development of targets is ongoing.
