SCOPING STUDY REPORT FOR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT

Issued Capital

Botswana Metals Limited is pleased to advise that it has appointed Ecosurv (Pty) Ltd as an independent consultant to undertake an Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”) over the Magogaphate Shear Zone which includes the Company’s Airstrip, Maibele North and Dibete prospects in Botswana.

Substantial shareholders

Ecosurv has provided BML with a draft Scoping Study Report provided as part of the EIA on the Magogaphate Shear Zone.

Directors

As part of the EIA process, BML and Ecosurv managed public meetings with local villagers, farmers and other stakeholders during the March 2012 quarter. The result of these public meetings were that: “Most community members were delighted about the project and expressed hope that the project will curb the unemployment situation amongst the youth and improve the people’s standard of living in the Bobirwa SubDistrict”.

Registered Office

The Company is pleased with the findings which are contained in the draft Scoping Study Report and believes it to be a sound basis to progress with the “Detailed EIA” study over the Magogaphate Shear Zone.
