| Location of the KANSANSHI Project |
|
The Kansanshi copper-gold mine is located in the North Western Province of
Zambia, approximately ten kilometres north of Solwezi and 180 kilometres to the
northwest of the Copperbelt town of Chingola. Kansanshi is located approximately 10 kilometres north of the town of Solwezi, the capital of the Northwestern
Province in Zambia, and 18 kilometres south of the border with the DRC.

| Geology of the KANSANSHI Project |
|
|
The Kansanshi deposit occurs within the Lufilian arc, a major tectonic province
characterized by broadly north-directed fold and thrust structures, which hosts
the world class Central African Copperbelt. The property geology is dominated by
the northwest-trending Kansanshi Antiform, which exposes rocks of the Late
Proterozoic Kansanshi Mine Formation in the core of a major refolded fold.
