During the quarter, the Company completed the following key activities:
-
Renegotiated the financial terms of the Company’s Songo acquisition, including a US$1.25 million reduction in near-term liabilities
-
Completed an interpretation of airborne magnetic and radiometric geophysical data for the Company’s Songo and Muturara Licenses, including the identification of 32.5km[2 ] of potential Lower Karoo areas within the Songo License
-
Commenced a ground based geophysical survey over the Songo license area
-
Signed a subscription agreement with KAR Mining Co to raise A$1,360,000 through the issue of 17,000,000 shares at $0.08 per share
-
Continued discussion regarding and evaluation of several potential new regional acquisitions.
Songo Acquisition Update
During the quarter, the Company revised the terms for the acquisition of its Songo License (2738L). The new terms are as follows:
-
US$100,000 payable on completion of a legal and technical due diligence and the successful transfer of the License (US$175,00 already paid)
-
US$625,000 payable in the event that a JORC compliant resource is defined and 100,000,000 JORC compliant "measured" tonnes of coal are defined in the Licence area
-
An additional US$625,000 payable in the event that a JORC compliant resource is defined and 200,000,000 JORC compliant "measured" tonnes of coal are defined in the Licence area
Previously agreed terms are as follows:
-
Payment of US$25,000 to Xiluva upon signing MOU for surface tax and bonds (Paid)
-
Payment of US$250,000 to Xiluva on submission of an application requesting the transfer of 2738L to the National Directorate of Mines in Mozambique (US$150,000 paid)
-
A final payment of US$1,250,000 to Xiluva upon successful transfer of 2738L and the completion of legal and technical due diligence by Mozambi.

Exploration Programme
During the quarter, exploration activities included the interpretation of aeromagnetic and radiometric data acquired over the Company’s Songo and Muturara Licence areas in conjunction with interpreted satellite imagery, to assist in structural interpretation of the coal basin covered by each license.
2738L “Songo” Project, Zambeze Coal Basin
As previously reported, the Company is still in the early stages of its exploration programme on the Songo Project. Interpretation of the airborne magnetic and radiometric geophysical survey has now been completed by Salva Resources (consultant coal specialists). This interpretation has revealed that the License covers two new target areas (Figure 3).
-
Target 1 – covering the north-east corner is a priority target area of approximately 7.5km[2 ] of Lower Karoo (potentially the Productive Series); and
-
Target 2 – covering approximately 25km[2 ] adjacent to Target 1 is a further target area of potentially shallow Upper Karoo overlying the full sequence target coal seams of the Lower Karoo Productive Series.
Additionally, the interpretation has confirmed that the License covers structurally complex “block faulted” Karoo sediments within the previously drill tested 25km[2] target area situated in the southeast corner of the License. Further work is required to assess the viability of this part of the license where the depth to coal may be prohibitive.
Given the structural complexity demonstrated by the study, the Company has now commenced ground geophysics to assist in targeting areas in the north-east of the License (as a priority) in preparation for drilling in the coming months.
3246L “Muturara” Project, Zambeze Coal Basin
Interpretation of the airborne geophysical survey covering the Muturara Project has been completed and this work has identified significant “block faulting” in the target area situated on the northern portion of the licence (Figure 4). The target zone (Productive Series – Lower Karoo) is still interpreted to be at a significant depth but the block faulting may have lifted some blocks nearer to the surface than originally interpreted.
Additional surface geophysical surveys will now planned prior to any drilling activity.
