Notes

Kalahari Minerals Plc is an AIM listed mining and exploration group with a portfolio of copper and base metal prospects within western and eastern central Namibia. Two of the project areas, Dordabis and Witvlei, are prospective for sediment hosted copper mineralisation consistent with the world class Zambian Copper Belt. A third project, Ubib, is prospective for gold mineralisation and is nearby the operating Navachab gold mine.

The Company also has a 90 per cent. interest in the highly prospective Namib Lead Zinc Project centred on the old Namib Lead Mine, which was an underground operation from 1965 - 1992. Previous mine studies (non JORC compliant) indicate surface tails and underground mining reserves of 1.65 million tonnes at 5.7 per cent. zinc, 1.6 per cent. lead and 40.2 g/t silver. Kalahari aims to take the project to bankable feasibility study stage with a view to re-commencing mining operations in the short term.

Additionally, the Company holds a 39.11 per cent. interest in ASX listed Extract Resources Limited, which is focused on uranium exploration. Its key project is the Husab uranium project in Namibia where results from an ongoing drilling programme reinforce the Company's belief that the area has a strong potential to host an economic uranium deposit.
