INTRODUCTION
-
Unique and exciting opportunity to explore 1,896km[2] of highly prospective greenstone belt in Africa’s premier mining jurisdiction, Botswana .
-
~50km of the Kraaipan Greenstone Belt ; 45km north and along strike of Harmony’s Kalgold Mine (~4 million oz gold pre-mining resource)[1] .
-
Same geological terrane hosts the Kalplats Project (~6.5 million oz of 3E PGM)[2] , so also prospective for PGMs, nickel and copper mineralisation associated with mafic/ultramafic rocks.
-
Exploration activities so far provide an almost tenure-wide coverage of the prospective greenstones by Geochemical and Geophysical survey data.
-
Results indicate several high priority, anomalous exploration targets that are being tested as part of our current drill program.
-
Opportunity to apply successful ‘transported cover’/‘undercover’ exploration techniques that are tried and tested in Australia to an exciting, well endowed but poorly explored Greenstone Belt .

HISTORIC GOLD EXPLORATION
-
Historic exploration only completed on a small section of outcropping greenstones in the south.
-
Historic soil and rock chip geochemical reconnaissance surveys identified gold anomalism associated with BIF rocks:
-
Best rock chip assay results: 36g/t Au, 9.9g/t Au, 7.4g/t Au & 6.9g/t Au.
-
47 out of 224 samples resulted in assays greater than 1g/t Au = Over 20%
-
These geochemical anomalies were followed up with a first pass drill program of 74 RAB holes for 3,631m*. Highlights:
-
KP037: 13m @ 1.7g/t Au from 11m,
-
including 3m @ 5.1g/t Au;
-
KP052: 21m @ 1.0g/t Au from 6m,
-
including 5m @ 2.3g/t Au
-
KP077: 9m @ 1.1g/t Au from 17m,
-
including 4m @ 2.3g/t Au

EXPLORATION STRATEGY
Geochemistry
- Analyse selected subset of the regional soil survey samples for low detection Au & PGMs as well as ‘Pathfinder’ elements e.g. Cu, Zn, As, Bi, Ag and Hg. Complete!
Geophysics
-
Reinterpret/Review historic VTEM/MLEM Survey data for anomalies with characteristics of gold related sulphide deposits or a Ni-Cu-PGM massive sulphide deposits. Complete!
-
Reinterpret and model historic Aeromagnetic Survey data for possible structural zones that could host gold mineralisation.
Complete!
Drilling
- Drill test highest ranked targets generated by the geochemical/geophysical results. Currently Underway!

EXPLORATION RESULTS
Northwest Sector (ASX Ann: 11/9/2017)
-
Discreet, highly anomalous gold zone of at least 1.4km and to 600m wide from northwest long up
-
sector soil assay results.
-
Open along strike to the northwest and southeast.
-
Gold anomaly coincides with highly magnetic rocks (e.g. BIFs), the most common host rocks for gold mineralised veins in this terrane.
-
Spatially associated with the EM Target KB01, which could be due to pyrrhotite/pyrite altered Banded Iron Formation rocks associated with gold mineralisation (e.g. Hill 50, Westralia, Bounty)
-
• Also anomalous for several pathfinder elements such as Ag, As, Bi, Cu, Mo and Zn

EXPLORATION RESULTS
Northeast Sector (ASX Ann: 26/9/2017)
-
Four anomalous gold zones identified from the assay results from the northeast sector soil samples.
-
The largest of the gold anomalous zones (NE001) is at least 3km long and up to 750m wide.
-
Gold anomalous zones strike ENE to WSW, consistent with the orientation of outcropping, gold bearing quartz veins in the south of the project area.
-
Best gold anomalies coincide with interpreted highly magnetic rocks, the most common host rocks for gold mineralised veins in this terrane.
-
Also variably anomalous for several pathfinder elements such as Ag, As, Bi, Cu, Mo and Zn.
-
NE001 also anomalous for Ni-Cu-PGMs (ASX Ann: 2/10/2017).

EXPLORATION RESULTS
Central Sector (ASX Ann: 26/9/2017)
-
3km to 150m wide long, up gold anomaly,
-
associated with Electromagnetic (‘EM’) Target KB05, identified from the soil sample assay results.
-
KB05 and gold anomaly coincide along north-south trending Banded Iron Formation (BIF) rocks, the most common host rocks for gold mineralised veins in this terrane.
-
A second, over 4km long, up to 200m wide gold anomaly has also been identified and is associated with a fold hinge of the BIF rocks.
-
Several other gold anomalies also identified within the central sector.
-
Also variably anomalous for several pathfinder elements such as Ag, As, Bi, Cu, Mo and Zn

EXPLORATION RESULTS
KB01 and KB05
-
KB01 and KB05 are two of the high priority EM targets identified from the historic VTEM survey.
-
KB01 and KB05 are both associated with anomalous gold zones.
-
• KB01 and KB05 are also associated of zones of decreased magnetisation within the overall relatively high magnetic anomaly.
-
Could indicate that BIF rocks have been subjected to magnetite destruction via pyrrhotite/pyrite alteration associated with gold mineralisation (i.e. Hill 50, Westralia, Bounty).
• As the highest priority targets defined so far, these two targets will be drilled ASAP.

KB04 and KB05 drilling results
-
Drill holes testing high priority EM targets, KB04 and KB05 have intersected sulphides from disseminated to semi-massive of varying thicknesses at around the modelled EM plate depths
-
Sulphides are mainly pyrrhotite and pyrite with traces of chalcopyrite hosted within magnetite-rich Kraaipan Greenstone rocks
==> picture [151 x 240] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [167 x 219] intentionally omitted <==
-
Sulphides also spatially associated with highly magnetic, gabbroic, mafic intrusive rocks
-
Sulphides appear to be of a similar style to some of the historic, gold-rich drill intersections to the south
-
Sulphides may also contain PGMs due to assoc. with mafic intrusive rocks
-
KB01 next high priority EM target to be drilled has a similar geological/geophysical setting to KB04 & KB05

Summary
-
Unique and exciting opportunity to explore a very large areaof a well-endowed and highly prospective greenstone belt in Africa’s premier mining destination, Botswana.
-
~50km length of the Kraaipan Greenstone Belt; situated 45km north, along strike and within the same geological units as Harmony’s Kalgold Mine (~4 million oz gold pre-mining resource[1] ).
-
Same terrane hosts the Kalplats Project (~6.5 million oz of 3E PGM[2] ) and is therefore, interpreted to also be highly prospective for nickel, copper and PGM mineralisation.
-
Historic exploration, only completed in outcropping areas, resulted in very encouraging gold bearing drill intersections.
-
Opportunity to apply very well developed Yilgarn Goldfields exploration techniques in a terrane with very similar geology.
-
Several highly prospective exploration targets generated from geochemical and/or geophysical data.
-
Drilling currently underway with disseminated to semi-massive sulphides intersected at KB04 and KB05.
-
This opportunity has strong parallels with what Gold Road Resources set out to achieve in the Yamarna Greenstone Belt e.g. focus on a large, poorly explored and relatively ignored greenstone terrane
KRAAIPAN could host the next GRUYERE GOLD DEPOSIT!
