• WORK COMPLETED– Detailed geological mapping, geochemical sampling and analyses of the soil samples by

NITON XRF analyzer– >2km of NITON XRF >100-875 ppm Cu, 12.5% Fe and 130-358 ppm As in soil anomalies– coincident with >1.5kmX10-60m Au-hosting quartz-veins in shear-foliated schist/phyllite

• FUTURE WORK– Samples submitted to SGS Laboratories for fire gold assaying– Results have not yet been received.

Page 19: Makwini resources indaba joas kabete

• PROJECT: Mkurumu SW (PL 6902/2011); 119.5 km2 100% Makwini Resources

• TARGET : Orogenic gold deposits in sulphidic-quartz-silicate veins in mildly reworked proto-Neo-archean mafic-felsic gneisses.

• GEOLOGY – Largely covered by regolith cover, bedrock comprising E-W-trending mafic amphibolite,

ortho and para-gneisses– Mildly overprinted by NW-SE-trending tectonothermal events– Broken down into compartments along N-S-trending faults

• EXPLORATION WORK COMPLETED AND RESULTS– 2003 Kabete: >8km x 150-600m of 100-720ppb Au in soil anomalies at Mkurumu– Motivated AETL to JV with Mafulira Village Mining Company (MVMC).– Drilling only 2700m DD….not enough to test potential– MAKWINI: NITON XRF As-Fe-Cu anomalies coincident with AETL’s Au-As anomalies– MAKWINI: auger soil sampling =~9kmX1.5km NITON XRF As-Fe-Cu in soil anomalies.– Samples from this block submitted to SGS for Au assaying.

• GEOLOGY – Largely covered by regolith profiles – E-W-trending mafic amphibolite, ortho and para-gneisses and ultramafic rocks.– Strongly overprinted by NW-SE-trending deformational and metamorphic fabric

• EXPLORATION WORK COMPLETED AND RESULTS– Geochemical soil sampling, 40cm deep/augering to B-Horizon – NITON XRF analyses returned the following anomalies:

• ~3km NE-SW-trending 118ppm Au Chikole anomaly• >6km NE-SW-trending and >1 km Fe-Cu Hogoro anomalies• ~3 km E-W-trending Ni-anomaly (Magereza

• FUTURE WORK– Regolith mapping to understand nature of the Chikole Au anomaly– Infill and step-out soil sampling to understand implications of the following

• Coincidental Fe-Cu points to possible Au-Cu deposit systems• Ni-Cu-Co anomalies point to Ni-Cu (PGEs???) potential

• DEFINE DRILL TARGETS

CONCLUSIONS: PROXIES TO DISCOVERY OF SIGNIFICANT GOLD DEPOSITS• KITUNDA PROJECT

• Juvenile <2.85 Ga belts in the CTR analogous to LVGF , Tanzania and more importantly Superior and Yilgarn Cratons, where they host to significant deposits

• Discovery predicted from >2 Moz at >5/t Au from a >6km X 3km block• Highly ranked project moving to exploratory drilling stage.

• LUSAHUNGA PROJECT• Compressional- to transpressional reactivation of the basement structure, • Gold in westerly-verging shear zones in quartz veins and steeply dipping possibly en-

echelon vein systems in quartz-sericite schist• Mineralized zone extends intermittently for at least >2.5 km of strike length• Project moving to exploratory drilling stage

• MKURUMU SW PROJECT• Reactive and competent Fe-rich mafic rocks in paragneisses,• Domain set at high-angles to the NW-SE-direction of maximum compression• NW-verging thrust, back-thrust and asymmetrical folds associated with gold.• This project has potential for discovery from a ~9km X 1.5km sub-area• Project moving to exploratory drilling stage

• TAMOTA PROJECT• Strong NW-SE transpressional fabric along craton margin• Mafic-Ultramafics (6km and >1) km Fe-Cu Hogoro anomalies• ~3 km (Magereza Ni-anomaly), ~3km NE-SW-trending 118ppm Au Chikole anomaly

CONCLUDING REMARKS Makwini, local Tanzania company. Technically equipped with explorationists ambitious to

discover mineral deposits:• under-explored/un-explored greenstone belts, Central Tanzania Region (Kitunda Project)• less-explored belts in the Proterozoic Regions of NW and eastern Tanzania:

• Lusahunga, Kongwa, Mkurumu SW, Tamota, Mkata and Handeni East projects)• Projects generated by in-house specialists (Project Generation exercises) and field

assessment of projects submitted by vendors. This work is conducted through their consultant Mazoka Resources (Pty) Ltd;

• Projects include under-cover belts and camps seen limited exploration in the gold-endowed Lake Victoria Region (e.g. NW-extension of the ~800k Au Shanta

• GL Jossue Ltd and Kage Minerals (Singida south project)• SE-extension of Kukuluma-Matandani Camp, Biharamulo-Geita District

• Kage Minerals

MAKWINI INVITES SERIOUS INVESTORS TO FARM IN INTO THESE GRASSROOTS TO EXPLORATORY PROSPECTIVE AND DISCOVERY PRONE PROJECTS

THE MINISTRY OF ENRRGY AND MINERALS THROUGH THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF TANZANIA PROVIDES HIGH-LEVEL TECHNICAL SUPPORT ENVIRONMENT REQUIRED FOR NEW DISCOVERIES
