Exploration Results
u The Frischgewaacht kimberlite is an eastward extension of the Marsfontein blow/dyke system and therefore similar grades
are anticipated
u First phase of percussion and core drilling completed along a c.1.5km strike length of the c.6km long dyke/blow complex
u Petrographic results showed areas of volcanoclastic kimberlite along the dyke. This indicates that there are areas along the dyke that
host small pipes/blows
u Samples collected for microdiamond analyses
u 467 Stones were collected from surface sampling, yielding 247 carats at an average of US$180 per carat in 2015 (BCOS of +2mm). This
gave a modelled revenue of US$259 per carat (BCOS of +2mm) in 2016
u Currently undertaking detailed ground geophysics (to further delineate the kimberlite) which will be followed by a second phase
of drilling
