| Achmmach Tin Project |
|
Kasbah has an exclusive right to acquire a 100% interest in the Achmmach tin project by completing a positive feasibility study. This project is covered by two Exploitation Permits (PE 2912 and PE 2960) covering an aggregate area of 32 square kilometres at Achmmach. Subject to a positive outcome from the feasibility study, Kasbah intends to progress with the development of the Achmmach project. The Achmmach project represents a large, highly prospective tin exploration project. Kasbah commenced a scoping study and drilling on Achmmach during the second half of 2007 to test the potential of near surface mineralisation and down-plunge extensions to existing zones, along with other zone extensions and repetitions identified to date within the Achmmach property. The Achmmach project is located on the western edge of the El Hajeb province, approximately 140km southeast of the Moroccan capital, Rabat. This district contains a wide zone of tin bearing structures extending for 8km in a north-northeast direction, from Bou El Jai to Achmmach. The project area mineralisation occurs in three main orientations. The most significant occurs as stacked lodes striking east-northeast, dipping steeply to the north. Six main structures have been identified and traced over several hundreds of metres of strike length. From 1991 onwards, the BRPM undertook an extensive exploration and evaluation work programme on Achmmach, which included regional and project scale geological mapping, soil geochemistry, gravity surveying, surface trenching, 33 diamond drill holes totalling 14,463m, a 85 metre deep exploratory shaft with 827 metres of underground drives, an underground bulk sampling program and metallurgical test work. |
