Maiden Mineral Resource at White City Deposit

JORC (2012) compliant Maiden Mineral Resource at White City Deposit

 

Kazera Global plc ("Kazera Global", "Kazera" or the "Company"), the AIM quoted investment company which, through its stake in African Tantalum (Pty) Limited ("Aftan"), has an interest in the Namibia Tantalite Investment Mine ("NTI" or the "Mine") is pleased to announce the completion of a maiden JORC Compliant Mineral Resources Estimate for the White City Pegmatite as part of the ongoing exploration programme at the Mine.

Highlights:

·; Maiden Inferred Tantalite Resource at White City Deposit of 297,600 tonnes, in line with the Company's pre-exploration programme expectations.

·; Strong grades of 105 parts per million Ta2O5 measured.

·; 10 diamond drillholes spaced approximately 15m to 20m were drilled over White City, cumulatively drilling a total of 304.5m.

·; Across White City, Purple Haze and Homestead, the mine now has a maiden JORC Compliant Mineral Resource Estimate of 622,200 tonnes of lithium and tantalite resources.

Completed by the MSA Group, the maiden Mineral Resources Estimate over White City indicate an inferred tantalite resource at White City of 297,600 tonnes, consistent with the Company's pre-exploration programme expectations. Across the deposit, strong grades were shown, with an average grade of 105 parts per million ("ppm") Ta2O5.

These results confirm previous exploration results at White City and gives confidence to the Company that continued exploration can realise further resources from the deposit.

A lithium Mineral Resource estimate was not completed as part of the mineral resource estimate due to the sparse number of lithium assays (lithium assays were only performed on the recent core samples) and their high variability.

 

Kazera Trading

Further to the highly encouraging ongoing exploration activity at NTI, the Company has registered a subsidiary named Kazera Trading, which will operate in conjunction with Kazera Global. Kazera Trading will function as an ore trading arm of the Company facilitating the global movement of resources such as tantalum, through leveraging the experience of Kazera's management. Initial trades have already been agreed and the Company will provide further updates to shortly.

 

Larry Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of Kazera Global Plc commented:

"The findings from White City demonstrate another excellent result for the Company following the announcement of our initial maiden JORC compliant Mineral Resource estimates over the Homestead and Purple Haze deposits. We now have cumulative indicated and inferred maiden JORC Compliant tantalite and lithium resources of 622,200 tonnes across NTI, with very strong grades indicated across the Mine and with further results to come. This places the NTI mine in a positive position to close out the remainder of it's Phase 1 exploration drilling programme which we aim to complete before the end of the year.

Further to this, I am delighted to have commenced work on our new trading arm, Kazera Trading, which we have set up to utilise the Company's global connections, connecting buyers and sellers of heavy metal and rare earth element ores. We look forward to updating shareholders on this exciting new initiative which we anticipate will deliver solid revenue for the Company going forward."

 

Background to White City

The White City pegmatite is located northeast of the Homestead pegmatite, where the current mining operation is focused at Tantalite Valley. White City is a dome-shaped pegmatite, with visible tantalum-lithium mineralisation on exposed pegmatite faces. Portions of the White City pegmatite are exposed on a slope parallel with the dip of the pegmatite body, as well as in a relatively large open-pit excavation on the eastern exposure of the pegmatite body. White City has previously been explored and partially mined from the open cut and other historical small-scale mining from exposures on the dip-slope.

A mining cut was excavated from the base of the valley intermittently along a strike length of approximately 20 m. The mining was of limited extent, only penetrating a few metres into the slope. This excavation allowed for detailed mapping of the pegmatite and interpretation of the mineral domains. Much of the blasted material is stockpiled nearby.

As part of receiving a JORC Compliant Mineral Resource number at White City, the deposit has been sampled by drilling over a strike length of approximately 170 m from north to south having been partially exposed over a dip length of approximately 190 m. The central portions of the pegmatite comprise mainly quartz and albite. Tantalite is distributed throughout the pegmatite over thicknesses varying from approximately 1 m to 16 m. The area is partially explored with recent drilling being focussed on verifying the occurrences identified by historical exploration.
