Farm 555 Prospecting Project

Zevoli (Pty) Ltd proposes to conduct prospecting activities on portion 1 of farm no.555 and located within ZF Mgcawu Magisterial district Municipality in Northern Province. The commodity of interest in this regard are gold, uranium, platinum group metals, rare earth, heavy minerals, niobium, nickel, tin, tungsten, molybdenite, tantalum, magnesium, monazite, pyrite, gemstone, sulphur, and cobalt.The prospecting activities to be undertaken include non- invasive and invasive methods, thus methods that do not cause harm to the environment and that, which causes harm respectively. Noninvasive method encompasses phases such as phase 1 and yet invasive collate phases from 2 and 3. The conduction of these activities will be conducted in phases, with the succeeding phase depending on the results and success of preceding phase. The planned Invasive Phase will involve the drilling of the sited drilling boreholes using a diamond core drilling technique. A sump will be constructed in each drilling borehole for the collection of water from the drilling operations. The sump will be constructed to be one (1) square meter in size and have a maximum depth of one (1) metre. Any soils removed from the sump (approximately one cubic meters) will be placed adjacent the drilling site and used for rehabilitation of the site. Boreholes will be drilled at pre-planned sites. The boreholes will be drilled to intersect the expected mineralization zone and will be logged by the geologist. The intersected mineralized zone will be sampled and sent to the laboratory for quality determination. This data will form the basis for the geological modelling and financial evaluation. The current estimated life of the proposed prospecting activities is five (5) years.
