COMMENCEMENT OF GROUND BASED GEOPHYSICS AT SONGO PROJECT
MOZAMBI COAL LTD
(ASX: “MOZ”, “Company” or “Mozambi”)
29 October 2012
Mozambi Coal wishes to advise that it has commenced a ground based geophysics programme over its Songo project in Mozambique.
The primary objective of the programme is to provide additional geological and structural interpretation of the northeast area (Priority 1 and Priority 2) of the license (Figure 3) in order to focus our future exploration efforts. The key outcomes of the survey are expected to be as follows:
-
Providing ground magnetic infill data to cover the northern target zones of the license area;
-
- Determining the presence of dolerite dykes in the potential coal sequence as well as late Karoo extrusives above the potential coal sequence;
-
Determine the presence and location of any potential fault features that impact coal seam continuity and distribution; and
-
Determining the overall thickness of the Karoo sequence and the disposition of the PreKaroo basement
It is estimated that the programme will be completed by the end of November, after which the Company will be in a position to move forward with a potential drill programme.
