Key points
-
Unique and exciting opportunity to explore 866km[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.
-
Existing Geochemical survey of over 14,000 soil samples which provide an almost tenure-wide coverage of the prospective greenstone and Geophysical data indicates several anomalous areas for immediate follow up.
-
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 e.g. focus on a large, poorly explored and relatively ignored greenstone terrane as Gold Road Resources set out to achieve in the Yamarna Greenstone Belt
KRAAIPAN could host the next GRUYERE GOLD DEPOSIT!

INTRODUCTION
-
~50km length of the larger NNW trending Amalia-Kraaipan Greenstone Terrane (AKGT) of the Kaapvaal Craton, Southern Botswana.
-
Directly along strike from major gold deposits and adjacent to significant PGE deposits across the border in South Africa.
-
Harmony’s Kalgold open pit mining operation, contained a pre-mining resource of over 4.0 million ounces of gold[1] .
-
Kalgold has been in production since 1996 and produces between 50 and 100koz of gold p.a.
-
This terrane also hosts other smaller but often higher grade gold deposits/historic mines.

HISTORIC GOLD EXPLORATION
-
Historic soil and rock chip geochemical reconnaissance surveys uncovered gold anomalism in the south associated with BIF outcrops.
-
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 include:
-
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
-
KP074: 21m @ 1g/t Au

PGM-Ni-Cu PROSPECTIVITY
- This terrane also hosts the adjacent Kalplats Platinum Project (Stella):
JORC Resource of 134.5 Mt @ 1.5 g/t 3E PGMs (Pt +Pd + Au) containing 6.5 Moz; including High Grade of 31.6 Mt @ 3.14 g/t 3E PGMs containing 3.2 Moz[2] .
• High-grade PGM mineralization associated with magnetite gabbros and magnetitites within the Stella Layered Intrusion ( ca 3 Ga). Found in a 100m thick interval that includes a number of laterally consistent PGM reefs. The richest reef hosted by magnetite and contains between 10-15g/t PGMs over 1-2 metres.
-
Historic exploration already uncovered several strong bedrock VTEM anomalies, likely related with a highly –
-
magnetised mafic/ultramafic intrusive body. Never drill tested.

EXPLORATION PLAN
-
Complete an extensive exploration program using tried and tested geochemical and geophysical methods already successful in Australia.
-
Review of extensive soil geochemical survey (approx. 14,000 soil samples) and follow up analysis of anomalous pathfinder elements for gold and/or Ni-Cu-PGM mineralisation.
-
Once pathfinder anomalism has been identified, further constrain these targets with calcrete sampling surveys, ground EM/IP surveys and then bedrock drilling.
-
Concurrently, follow up the historic first pass exploration and drilling in southern, outcropping areas to understand controls and identify economic accumulations of mineralisation.

Regional soil sampling survey results assessed by a leading expert in gold exploration geochemistry.
-
Analyse the infill soil survey samples and selected subsets of the regional soil survey samples for ‘Pathfinder’ elements e.g. As, Te, Bi, Ag, Rb, Ba, Zr, Sc and K using a full geochemistry suite, as well as low detection Au & PGMs.
-
Trenching and shallow drilling to sample calcrete/top of bedrock in areas of anomalous concentrations of ‘Pathfinder’ elements or gold anomalism.
-
Geophysics
-
Complete Induced Polarisation (IP) Surveys across any areas of anomalous concentrations of ‘Pathfinder’ elements or gold anomalism, as well as the area of the Kraaipan Project with significant gold results from historic drilling
-
Reinterpret/Review VTEM Survey data for anomalies with characteristics of a massive sulphide deposit
-
Review the magnetic data across the tenure and produce a detailed ‘Depth to Magnetic Source’ map for understanding of depth to the BIF units that host gold mineralisation.
-
3D modeling of magnetic units within areas of anomalous geochemistry to understand geometry of the BIF units.
-
Drilling
-
Drill test exploration targets generated by the geochemical/geophysical results.

Summary
-
Unique and exciting opportunity to explore 866km[2] of a well-endowed and highly prospective greenstone belt in Africa’s premier mining destination, Botswana.
-
Tenure covers ~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
-
LCR has obtained a geochemical survey of over 14,000 soil samples which provide an almost tenurewide coverage of the prospective greenstone. These samples were only partially analysed but already show several geochemically anomalous areas, available to be drill tested
-
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!

Geology
-
The AKGT consists of a NNW trending linear belts of older (~3500Ma) Archaean meta-volcanic and metasedimentary rocks, separated by granitoid units. This granite-greenstone terrane is the basement to the Witwatersrand Super Group.
-
The AKGT rocks (in both Botswana and South Africa) are poorly exposed and deeply weathered or covered by windblown Kalahari sands. The only distinct outcrops are the more resistant, Banded Iron Formation (BIF) rocks, which are visible as long parallel ridges.
-
At Kalgold:
-
Gold mineralisation occurs in shallow dipping clusters or swarms of quartz veins within the steeply dipping, magnetite-chert BIFs
-
Mineralisation is mostly native gold and is associated with disseminated pyrite and pyrrhotite in shallowly dipping quartz vein swarms
-
Excellent CIL metallurgical recoveries
