Geological Setting
Mineralisation at the Kangaluwi Copper Project is hosted by intensely deformed and foliated metasedimentary rocks. These form part of the Zambezi supracrustal sequence located within the Zambezi belt of southern Zambia and are of Neoproterozoic age (~830 Ma). They occur north of the Zimbabwe Archean Craton and form sections of the Irumide belt. The licence falls south east of the celebrated Lufilian Arc, which hosts celebrated deposits of the Zambian copper belt.
Mineralisation is structurally controlled within a series of complex regional shears. The metasedimentary rocks of the Kangaluwi-Chisawa copper prospects trend roughly east-southeast and dip shallowly south-west, between 30-40 degrees. The host rocks for copper mineralisation include biotite-muscovite schists, garnet-biotite-muscovite schists, amphibolites, epidosites, quartzite, pegmatite and graphitic shale. These lithological units are often interbedded and in places may display gradational contacts.
Base metal mineralisation at Kangaluwi and Chisawa comprises chalcopyrite, bornite, with malachite, azurite and chrysocolla an upper oxide zone.

Exploration History
2005 Soil geochemical sampling programs carried out covering an area of 180km2 identified six prospects:-
- Kangaluwi, Chisawa, Kalulu, Imboo, Moya and Chiwuyu.
2 key structures with continuous copper anomalies > 100ppm over 28km:- - Kangaluwi/Kalulu/Chisawa trend over a strike length of 19km - Chisawa/Imboo trend over a strike length of 9km
2006 24 RC holes for 2,477m were completed at Kangaluwi over an 800m strike length and at Chisawa over a
strike length of 2,600km
2007 15,459m of RC drilling and 4,469m of diamond drilling were completed at Kangaluwi over a 3km strike
length.
2008 - 71 RC holes for 17,058m and 18 DD holes for 5,372m were completed at Kangaluwi
- 63 RC holes for 10,011m at Chisawa - 20 RC holes for 2,560m at Kalulu
VTEM survey of 1,810 line km over Kangaluwi Copper Project.
Metallurgical testwork indicates favourable metallurgical characteristics and soft ore. Bond work index of 11.5 kW per hour/t. Initial floatation tests indicates recoveries in excess of 9% Cu.
2010 Based on previous exploration the resource for Kangaluwi Copper Project stands at 23.4 Mt grading 0.85%
Cu for 200,575 tonnes of contained copper.

Mineral Resource Estimate
Based on previous exploration, an Indicated Mineral Resource of 8.9 Mt grading at 0.78% Cu for 69,000 tonnes of contained copper has been estimated at the Kangaluwi prospect. At Chisawa, an Inferred Mineral Resource of 14.5 Mt, has been estimated grading 0.90% Cu for 130,824 tonnes of contained Cu. Table 1: Global Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate - Kangaluwi Copper Project The combined JORC-compliant resources estimates for Kangaluwi and Chisawa total 23.4 Mt, grading 0.85% Cu for 200,575 tonnes of contained copper. At this stage, these estimates do not include any resources from the Kalulu prospect, with ~27% of the 28 km prospective strike length drill tested.

2011 Exploration Results Kalulu Prospect
1. Introduction A total of 44 holes were drilled at Kalulu for 9,350m. Kalulu’s strike length of 1.2km was drilled at 100m intervals, between and along RC drill sections. This will result in a 50m x 50m grid drill coverage designed to begin the Resource Classification process (Figure 5). Assay results and depth of intersection have indicated that mineralisation is still open down dip and across strike.

2011 Exploration Results Chisawa Prospect
1. Introduction
Exploration activity at Chisawa has included the drilling of 40 holes for 8,631m over a 3km mineralized zone. With collars designed at 200m intervals, a 100m x 100m grid drill coverage was realised when combined with existing RC drilling, while a deep drilling program identified extensional mineralized horizons. Located within a series of complex regional shears, diamond drilling has demonstrated potential for down dip extensions at Chisawa. It has also identified increasing sulphide zonation with depth, with the presence of chalcopyrite-bornite mineralisation.

Summary
Based on 57,400m of historic drilling the combined resource from Kangaluwi and Chisawa Prospects stands at 23.4 Mt grading 0.85% Cu for 200,575 tonnes of contained copper. The 2011 22,000m drilling program will establish a new resource estimate for copper and gold, as a base for the BFS. Proceeds from the Rights Issue and the Convertible Note Facility will provide the Company with valuable funding towards the feasibility study for the development of the Kangaluwi Copper Project.
