Announcement

QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2007

 

HIGHLIGHTS:

 

 Munali Nickel Project

 

                      The Company has satisfied all material conditions precedent required by Senior Lenders for initial drawdown under the facility agreement for the Munali Nickel Project.

                      Byrnecut Mining International Limited has been engaged as the mining contractor for Munali.

                      Infill drilling was continued at the Enterprise deposit to provide detailed mine planning and metallurgical information for the first year of mine production, results are pending.

                      The hydrological drilling programme was successfully completed, which demonstrated the existing bore field was capable of providing all water supply needed for the project.

                      Construction of the concentrator continued with activities focused on earthworks and the commencement of civils during the quarter.

 

Munali District Exploration

 

                      Geochemical soil sampling programmes and geological mapping have been completed over several structural targets in the Chikani Prospect area, 25km south of Munali, results expected in the next quarter.

 

Nickel Exploration in Southern Africa

 

Selebi-Phikwe Project, Botswana

                      IP geophysics was completed at the Sunnyside prospect where a strong 2km-long IP conductor was identified coincident with Ni-Cu soil geochemistry.  Follow-up drilling is planned.

                      IP geophysics was also completed on the Kgwedi nickel target and a 1km-long conductivity anomaly has been identified.  Soil geochemistry results are pending.

 


Joint Venture Activity

 

Chirundu and Kariba Valley Uranium Projects, Zambia (African Energy Resources)

                      A new discovery of sandstone type uranium mineralisation was made by drilling at the Gwabe prospect in Zambia.

                      Additional drilling has extended the uranium mineralisation previously reported at the Njame deposit.

                      Drilling commenced at the Chisebuka prospect in the Kariba Valley JV to test the high grade uranium mineralisation previously reported from surface outcrops.

                      Formal JV documents were signed for Chirundu and Kariba Valley joint ventures.

                      African Energy has met its expenditure commitment to earn an initial 30% equity in the Chirundu JV.

                      The Board of African Energy approved commencement of a Pre-Feasibility Study to evaluate the viability of mining at Njame and Gwabe in the Chirundu JV.

 

Songea Nickel Project, Tanzania (BHP Billiton)

                      An airborne electromagnetic survey carried out by BHP Billiton has identified a number of strong conductor responses associated with favorable geology. Results are awaited from detailed data interpretation and follow up sampling.

 

Nefza-Haffouz Zinc Project, Tunisia (Zinifex)

                      IP geophysical surveys were completed at Nefza and commenced at Haffouz (formerly Trozza) with the aim of defining drill targets.

                      Drilling is underway at Nefza, with seven drillholes completed to date. Assay results are pending.
