Orapa Project-Botswana
Eight Kimberlites Drilled
Highlights:
Drilling shows Orapa kimberlites larger than previously thought
Orapa kimberlite BK24 surface area 3.3 - 3.6ha
Orapa Kimberlites BK22 and BK23 are joined sub-surface
BK22/23 surface area 2.2ha
Drilling of the BK19 - BK26 kimberlites in the Orapa Project area in Botswana is
nearing completion. Drilling was conducted in two phases. The first phase was
designed to sample kimberlite to a depth of 100 metres in each of the eight
kimberlites to gain an understanding of the geology and mineral chemistry of the
pipes. This drilling phase is complete and the samples from the kimberlites have
been transported to Tawana`s processing facility in Kimberley, South Africa.
Full mineral chemistry results from each of the 8 kimberlites will be available
during Q1 2008.
The second drilling phase was designed to determine the surface areas of
selected kimberlites. To date this drilling indicates that BK24 has a surface
area of between 3.3 and 3.6 ha. The pipe has basalt breccia infill to 30 metres
depth which is thought to have caused an under-estimation of the diamond grade
when tested to this depth by previous explorers.
The kimberlites BK22 and BK23 were previously thought to be two separate small
pipes. Drilling by Tawana has shown this to be incorrect and that the pipes are
joined subsurface to form one 2.2ha body.
Commenting on the program Tawana Managing Director, Wolf Marx, said: "It is
pleasing to be able to report such encouraging results from the first program
conducted by us in the Orapa Project area. Tawana now joins other junior diamond
explorers in reporting successful outcomes in the Orapa diamond field."
