16Results Summary
- Positive first results from the stoping trails
- 18250 carats from 918 tonnes 19.88 ct/tonne
- Calculated cut-off grade 5.5 ct/tonne
- Drilling Results
- 2501m of Core drilled
- All holes intersected the tanzanite ore zone
- Maximum down dip extent of 1464m
- Possible thickening of ore zone at depth
- Geophyiscs
- Dip shallows out at depth
- Possible closing of Ore-zone at depth
- Opportunity to diversify into tsavorite
17Investment rationale
- Stoping tested for the first time at TanzaniteOne
- Optimisation of resource through stoping
- Re-extraction of old workings
- Lower grade areas mined profitably
- Promising preliminary stoping results
- Latest drilling results at deeper levels indicate
continuation of ore bearing host rock - Extension of life-of-mine
- Improved geological understanding of deposit
- Adjacent Tsavorite deposits present acquisition
opportunities to TanzaniteOne in a quest for
diversification.
