The borehole was stepped out some 200 metres along strike and 800 metres along the downdip of DT2, the second hole. Set Point Laboratories in Johannesburg carried out the analyses of the borehole core samples. This laboratory is SNAS TO223 and ISO 17025 accredited. Highlights • Borehole DT3 intersected the Merensky reef ('MR') and UG2 Chromitite reef ('UG2') at projected depths • Grade and thickness of reefs are consistent with expectations • MR showed 6.92 g/t 4E (platinum, palladium rhodium and gold) and UG2 showed 7.49/gt • The MR showed good nickel and copper contributions: 0.35% nickel and 0.29% copper • Results are confirming the presence of a mineable resource downdip of existing and developing operations • Drilling of fourth step-out borehole has commenced Colin Bird, CEO of Jubilee and Tjate and Tjate Project Manager, said 'Jubilee has completed its third borehole at a significant step-out from its previous boreholes. The results are consistent with our expectations, confirm our prognosis for reef grade, dip and thickness and provide us with the confidence to commence now with pre-feasibility studies'.
