Highlights

Exploration Programme
During the quarter, the Company conducted exploration activities on all 3 license areas in its portfolio as follows:
Songo Project (2738L)
Scout diamond drilling commenced on 17 October 2011 and 1,310 metres were completed successfully prior to the onset of the wet season which normally occurs from December to March. The first 2 drill holes (BH-1 & BH-2) reached depths of 474.65m and 527.49m respectively, and a third drill hole (BH-3) was drilled to 308.44m before drilling activities had to cease.
All 3 drill holes intersected Upper Karoo sediments, which overlie the targeted Lower Karoo sediment package that hosts the main Productive Series of the Zambeze Basin coal deposits. Down hole geophysics was conducted to acquire stratigraphic information, after which all holes were suspended pending a review with the intention to “re-enter” these holes next field season. No coal samples have been collected in relation to the drilling completed to date.
In addition, the Company also completed an airborne geophysical survey (Magnetic and Radiometric) over the Songo licence area. A total of 2,321 line km were completed with lines 100m apart covering the south-eastern part of the license area.
