1. BOTSWANA NORTH EAST GOLD PROJECT:
The Opportunity:
-
689.54 km2 of brownfields exploration tenure on the unexplored part of the highly
prospective greenstone belt of the Zimbabwe craton with rights to explore for base
and precious metals.
Prospective area partially covered by shallow sediments.
Several gold and Nickel mines and historical working on the exposed portion of the greenstone belt.
Current small scale illegal activities quite prevalent with the tenure areas.
Strong Au, Cu and Ni perspectivity.
Clear and well-defined geophysical anomalies.
Sound geological information to support increased exploration activities in the area.
Stable & positive investments country with mining friendly government & legislature.
Tenure is privately held with strong upside for early entry.
Project Location:
Carly Prints Pty Ltd prospecting licences are located in the eastern part of Botswana,
around the of city of Francistown. The area is mainly flat and hilly in places. The soils
cover is in few centimeters to about 5m of weathered zone and sediments. The licences
are easily accessible by a tarred road from Francistown to Matsiloje village. There are
also several drivable tracks in the area.
Property and Minerals Rights:
The Carly Prints Pty Ltd prospecting licences (PL030/2020, PL031/2020, PL032/2020 &
PL033/2020) were first issued on the 1st April 2020 & currently on a 3rd year of the 1st
tenure. The licences will be renewed this December for an additional 2 years of tenure.
Both prospecting licences have a total area of 689.54 km2 & covers a highly prospective
area of the Zimbabwe craton in Botswana.
Geology:
The two prospecting licenses are within south western reach of the Zimbabwe craton
into Botswana. The local geology consists of metasedimentary and metamorphosed
paragenesis rocks to amphibolites facies and are tightly in folded with granitoids. The
geology is predominantly granitic composition composed of migmatitic varieties. The
Francistown granite-greenstone complex is comprised of two assemblages, the
stratiform sequence of the Tati, the Vumba and Maitengwe greenstone belts & tonalitic
granitoids.
The Francistown complex has always been the main focus for gold mineralization and
exploration. The two licences fall within northwest trending zone corresponding to the
strike of the Lady Mary, Pehlalonga and Selkirk formations of the Tati Volcanic Group.
The group is associated with minor occurrences of Copper, Lead & Zinc and most of the
gold mineralization is shear zone hosted & the quartz reefs in shears close to granitoidsschist contacts.
Project information
The licences are located between the existing gold and Nickel mines. The host rocks of
the Mupane mine and Tati Nickel Mine run across the two licences with a strong
geophysical response. The figure below shows the location of the exiting mines and the
rock units of the mineralized areas.Figure 3. location of the Pls and the geology of rock units.
Recommendations
- Ore explorer AI technology exploration technique.
- Next stage will include possibly more high-resolution geophysics
- Trenching, RC Drilling and core drilling
