| ABSTRACT: | In Q4 2018, AfriTin initiated an exploration drilling programme aimed at validating the historic information disclosed by SRK in 1985, for ISCOR, for the V1 and V2 pegmatites and supporting the declaration of a maiden, JORC (2012)-compliant, Mineral Resource estimate on the V1 and V2 pegmatites at the Uis Project. The Company divided the exploration programme into two phases: an initial phase focussed on the drill holes required for the validation of the historical data and a second phase focussed on exploring the down-dip continuation of the V1 and V2 pegmatites. The Company is pleased to announce the completion of the first 20 diamond drill holes, recommended for the validation of the historical data, by CSA Global as announced on 06 November 2018 (RNS No.: 4042G). These drill holes have been geologically logged, sampled and are being analysed by a certified independent laboratory and will be used to estimate the Uis Mineral Resource to be announced to the market in due course. The down-dip, step-out drilling is in progress. An Initial update of the geological model indicates a close correlation between the historic drill programme and the holes completed during this programme. Initial results of the first five holes are reported here with subsequent results being expected in the near future. The analytical results confirm that tin and tantalum mineralisation is primarily confined to pegmatite bodies. In areas where the V1 body has been separated into upper and lower units the drill hole intercepted a xenolith of country rock which separates the pegmatite. The sample analysis was undertaken by UIS Analytical Services. The major and minor elements were analysed by ICP-OES and the trace elements were analysed by ICP-MS | |
