QUARTERLY REPORT
For the Quarter Ended 30 September 2005
Highlights
• Significant assays returned in both infill and step-out drilling of the
Sukari gold deposit.
• Drilling continues to intersect broad areas of mineralisation indicating
strong potential for a significant resource increase on the current 2.94m oz.
• Significant drill intersections
DDH 360 Amun zone 168 metres @ 2.55 g/t
(including 5 metres @ 10.13 g/t);
DDH 362 Amun zone 136 metres @ 2.58 g/t
(including 2 metres @ 28.54 g/t and 4 metres @ 11.23 g/t);
RCD 367 Ra zone 73 metres @ 2.65 g/t
(including 13 metres @ 5.54 g/t and 9 metres @ 7.17 g/t);
RCD 359 Amun zone 72 metres @ 2.65 g/t
(including 1 metre @ 43.90 g/t);
DDH 346 Amun zone 27 metres @ 3.4 g/t
(including 5 metres @ 11.59 g/t);
DDH 340 Amun zone 19 metres @ 5.85 g/t;
RCD 363 Ra zone 10 metres @ 6.39 g/t;
DDH 338A Amun zone 5 metres @ 14.76 g/t;
DDH 371 Ra zone 5 metres @ 5.47 g/t;
DDH 351 Ra zone 1 metre @ 65.6 g/t.
The extensiveness of the system is best demonstrated by holes DDH 360 and RCD
367 which were drilled outside of the existing resource, and demonstrates the
multi-million ounce potential of the Sukari Project.
• Feasibility Study progresses
• Appointment of Key Senior Personnel
• Seven Rig Drilling Program to continue
• SUKARI PROJECT
During the quarter, significant assays were returned for infill drilling within
the optimised pit shell, extension drilling below the current pit shell and
step-out drilling north of the existing resource thus confirming the continuity
and strength of mineralization at Sukari. (See attached schedule of significant
gold intersections and Sukari graphic).
Since the beginning of the quarter, 11,370 metres of drilling was completed. The
drilling programme continued the focus on elevating the inferred category of the
first stage 1.8 million ounce optimised pit shell contained within the Amun zone
and small portion of the Ra zone, to the measured and indicated resource
categories. All seven drill rigs on site are presently drilling.
From the results to date it is strongly anticipated that the remaining inferred
category mineralization within the optimised pit shell will be converted to the
higher resource categories of measured and indicated as classified by the JORC
code. The geology and assay data indicates that the extension drilling below the
base of the optimised pit shell will add significantly to the geological
resource.
The current measured, indicated and inferred geological resource of 2.94 million
ounces has been calculated predominantly in the southern 800m (Amun and Ra
zones) of the mapped 2.5km Sukari granodiorite porphyry outcrop. This resource
has been calculated independently by Hellman and Schofield to JORC standards.
• SIGNIFICANT DRILL INTERSECTIONS
(See attached schedule for significant gold intersections)
Summarized below are descriptions of geological controls on the mineralization
for infill drill holes D360 and RCD362 and extension drill holes D346 and RCD359
which were drilled to test and confirm the down dip mineralization continuity
and strength of the Sukari orebody;
D360 - (section 10625N) returned high grade intersection of 168m @ 2.55g/t from
209m, this includes the whole of the intersected porphyry mineralized from the
hangingwall / porphyry contact to the footwall package of rocks. The zone is
highly altered with kaolinite, sericite, albite and weak hematite, visible gold
was logged at 329m and 376.9m in quartz veins.
RCD362 - (section 10575N) intersected mineralization of 136m @ 2.58g/t from
226m, geological logging identified strongly altered zones of the main P1 type
porphyry, associated with up to 5% pyrite in the groundmass and veins, and 1-2%
arsenopyrite, generally in veinlets. Quartz vein density is also high, with the
main types high angle extensional quartz veins, lower angle milky to translucent
tension quartz vein set and low angle veinlets of sulphide and sericite. The
rock mass is typically altered to sericite, kaolin and silica, with several
breccia and shear zones. Visible gold was identified at 346.10m in a major milky
quartz vein, surrounded by galena.
D346 - (section 10375N) intersected mineralization of 27m @ 3.40g/t from 295m,
the mineralised zone is bound by a strongly sheared and broken hangingwall
contact from 280 - 285m. The higher grade zones are contained within a thick
envelope of strongly silicified, moderate patchy brecciated, quartz veined,
sericite, carbonate and kaolin altered porphyry. Sulphide mineralisation is
dominated by fine grained, pyrite grains and minor arsenopyrite grains in the
quartz veins. Visible gold grains were noted in thick (+50mm) quartz veins at
307.8m and 308.95m.
RCD359 - (section 10500N), intersected mineralization of 72m @ 2.65g/t from
356m, the hole intersected significant mineralization from 305m downhole at the
hangingwall/porphyry contact. Mineralisation is hosted in Main P1 porphyry
displaying broad zones of strong silica and sericite alteration, with
intermittent strong kaolinite zones and veinlets of fine pyrite and
arsenopyrite. The hole was drilled 100m down dip of D355 (intersected 29m @
2.21g/t from 277m) which correlates well with this hole.
A series of tracks have been created on the eastern side of the hill to give
good access for drilling up to 12200N. Four rock breakers continued development
of tracks in the Ra, Gazelle and Pharaoh zones.
In order to appreciate the potential at Sukari it is important to understand
that the Amun and Ra zones are the same continuous mineralisation contained
within the Sukari outcrop, with the differentiation being made purely for ease
of reference rather than being separate structures. As such Sukari has the
potential to host a multi million ounce single pit deposit, with much of the Ra
zone yet to be included in the resource calculation and the Gazelle and Pharaoh
zones yet to be tested by drilling.
• KEY PERSONNEL APPOINTMENTS
In preparation for the development of the Sukari Project, new senior personnel
appointments were made, Wayne Foote was appointed as Sukari Project Manager and
Roger Speers as the Sukari Senior Exploration Geologist.
Project Manager
Wayne Foote holds a Bachelor of Engineering in Mining. Wayne has been involved
at a senior level in several mining operations, most recently as the Operations
Manager of the Golden Pride Project in Tanzania for Resolute Limited. Golden
Pride was the first modern, open pit mine to commence operations in Tanzania and
in 2002 the site was awarded the inaugural Presidential Award for Environmental
Leadership and Excellence. In September, 2004 the site achieved in excess of
three million man hours (1.5yrs) without a lost time injury and at the same time
1 million ounces of gold production.
Wayne is to be responsible for the management and supervision of the Sukari
Project development, including the preparation of the upgraded feasibility study
to a bankable standard for the development of a 4 to 5 million tonne per annum
processing facility, subsequent personnel recruitment, development, construction
and operation of the project.
Senior Exploration Geologist
Roger Speers is an experienced exploration geologist who holds a Bachelor of
Engineering in Mineral Exploration and Mining Geology with 1st Class Hons from
Western Australian School of Mines (WASM), Kalgoorlie WA. Roger was previously
Senior/Superintendent Exploration Geologist with AngloGold Ashanti at the Geita
gold mine in Tanzania. Roger was responsible for regional exploration and near
mine resource development and was part of the team that successfully added
several million resource ounces and developed the Geita near mine exploration
programmes. Previous to Tanzania, Roger was employed by AngloGold and Acacia
Resources in Western Australia at their Sunrise Dam and Laverton/Kalgoorlie
regional exploration teams
• FEASIBILITY STUDY
During the quarter work continued with Ausenco on the Bankable Feasibility Study
(BFS) into the development of a 4 to 5 million tonne per annum processing
facility, forecast to produce an initial 250,000 oz of gold per annum.
It is anticipated that the upgraded scoping study to determine both the optimum
plant size and potential process flow sheets (flotation and CIL) will be
completed during November. The outcome of this study will determine the final
design criteria for the BFS. The completion of the Feasibility Study is targeted
for first quarter 2006.
Ausenco Limited is a multi-disciplined engineering company specialising in the
design and construction of mineral treatment plants, with particular experience
in Africa. Ausenco's experience in the design, construction and commissioning of
mineral processing plants provides the company with the required expertise to
progress the development of Egypt's first modern gold mining operation. Ausenco
has undertaken projects involving similar unit operations to those proposed in
the Sukari BFS and has prepared numerous feasibility studies to the level of
accuracy required for project financing.
• CORPORATE
During September a delegation from the Egyptian Mineral Resource Authority
(EMRA) and the Ministry for Petroleum and Mineral Resources attended a mining
conference in Perth, visited the super pit gold mine in Kalgoorlie and met with
representatives of the Department of Industry and Resources of Western
Australia. The visit is part of the Ministry's commitment to developing the
Egyptian mining industry through the gathering of information that will assist
in the preparation of new mining legislation that will provide for an
exploration and mining legislative framework that will attract new mineral
resource investment to Egypt.
