Kasbah Resources Limited (ASX: KAS) is pleased to present its Quarterly Activities Report for the period ending June 29 2007.
1.0 ACHMMACH TIN PROJECT
Exploration Activity
During the quarter Kasbah finalised the acquisition of all Bureau de Recherches et de Participations Minieres (BRPM) exploration data and commenced a structural mapping programme at Achmmach. This geological mapping was undertaken at 1:2,500 scale of the Achmmach “vein” system and was completed during the quarter. As part of the mapping exercise, 90 rock chip samples were collected.
The best mineralised rock chip sample returned 3.73% Sn and 0.34g/t Au from a narrow tourmalinised “vein” exposed between drill hole collars DH25 and DH28. Follow-up rock chip sampling around this site in July returned five samples ranging from 0.16% Sn to 1.78% Sn over a strike length of 50m. These results provide both an immediate drill-target and evidence of extensions of the mineralisation at surface.
Further exploration and drilling is required to establish the extent of historical mineralisation present within the Exploitation Permits and this will be the focus from quarter 3 onwards. Proposals from Moroccan and International drilling companies were received and evaluated during the quarter and mobilisation and commencement of drilling is scheduled for the September quarter.

Project Overview
The Achmmach Project represents a large, highly prospective tin exploration project in which Kasbah has an exclusive right to acquire a 100% interest. Kasbah will commence a scoping study and drilling on Achmmach during the third quarter 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.
FIGURE 3
ACHMMACH –GEOLOGY AND PERMIT LOCATION
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 program on Achmmach, which included regional and project scale geological mapping, soil geochemistry, gravity surveying, surface trenching, 33 diamond drill holes totaling 14,463m, a 85 metre deep exploratory shaft with 827 metres of underground drives, an underground bulk sampling program and metallurgical test work.

2.0 EL KARIT TIN PROJECT
Exploration Activity
Kasbah commenced a scoping study on El Karit during the quarter and this will be complete in the September quarter 2007. Drilling and the collection of bulk samples for grade determination and metallurgical test work is also scheduled to commence in the September quarter.
Project Overview
The El Karit Project represents a smaller, highly prospective tin exploration project in which Kasbah has an exclusive right to acquire a 100% interest. The El Karit Project is located 100km southeast of Rabat. Access to the project is via sealed road to the regional centre of Maaziz (100km) thence 50km southwest to the village of Oulmès, and 14km along secondary roads to the project area.
Tin mineralisation at El Karit comprises discrete zones along the western margin of the granite-sediment contact located within biotite schists and pods of muscovite-tourmaline bearing granite. Five main zones of tin bearing quartz veining have been identified which, from south to north include Marsouin I, Marsouin II, Hirondelle I, El Karit and Hirondelle II.
The existence of tin in the El Karit area is understood to have been known since 1,000 BC, with the earliest recorded mining history dating back to the early 1600’s. Semi-artisanal mining at El Karit started in 1925 and ended in 1974 with a total of some 750t of tin concentrate at an approximate average grade of 65% Sn.
