    High grade Cu assays and wide zones of Pb/Zn sulphide mineralisation intersected at T3
    provide an indication of the potential of this exciting new polymetallic discovery
    Second drill hole at T3 (MO-G-11R) intersected 14m@ 1.97%Cu from 86m down hole depth,
    including [email protected]%Cu from92mdown hole depth (Figures 1 & 2)
    MO-G-11R also intersected 5 zones of highly anomalous Pb/Zn over an 84m interval from
    64mdown hole depth (Appendix 1). Highest 1mZn assays are: 3.43%, 2.07%& 1.07%Zn
    Two RC drill holes have intersected wide zones of visible disseminated Cu/Pb/Fe sulphides
    100mwest and east of current drill section (Figure 2). Results are being interpreted
    Cu/Pb/Zn mineralisation intersected in hanging-wall sediments in the interpreted T3 Dome
    is unlike any other knownmineral deposit in the Kalahari Copper Belt
    Preliminary interpretation suggests Cu/Pb/Zn intersections occur near the western end of
    4-5kmlong Pb/Zn soil anomaly along part the axis of the T3 Dome (Figures 3 & 4)
    Two diamond drill rigs now on site. Hole MOG-01D is targeting an inferred DHEM conductor
    at >200mdepth and testing for the interpreted deeper Kalahari prospective contact

    HIGH Cu ASSAYS AND SIGNIFICANT Pb/Zn INTERSECTIONS CONFIRM T3 DISCOVERY

    Refer to Appendix 1 for assay results for Cu, Pb and Zn for MO-G-11R. Note: intersections are reported as down hole widths
    The Board of MOD Resources Ltd (ASX: MOD) is pleased to announce very encouraging assay results from the
    second RC drill hole (MO-G-11R) at the T3 discovery, owned by MOD (70%) and Metal Tiger Plc (LON:MTR)
    (30%). As announced on 17 March 2016 and 23 March 2016, significant visible Cu mineralization was also
    intersected in MO-G-12R and MO-G-13R which are on the same drill section as MO-G-11R (Figure 2) and
    assays are expected from these holes soon.
    Key results from MO-G-11R include:
    Two significant zones of Cu mineralisation:
    - [email protected]%Cu from86m down hole depth,
    including
    [email protected]%Cu from92m down hole depth; and
    - [email protected]%Cu from69m down hole depth (Figures 1 and 2)

    Five zones of highly anomalous Pb/Zn mineralisation over an 84m interval starting from 64m down

    hole depth (Appendix 1). The Pb and Zn assays in the five distinct zones are highlighted in Appendix 1.
    The Pb/Zn assay data are still being interpreted and the significance of these results is expected to
    becomemore apparent when assays are received from other drill holes in the immediate area:
    - Highest individual 1mzinc assays are: 3.43%, 2.07%and 1.07%Zn

    A preliminary interpreted cross section (Figure 2) illustrates the difference in assay results and geology
    between holes MO-G-10R and MO-G-11R. Hole MO-G-10R includes an isolated interval of moderate grade Cu,
    has no significant Pb or Zn and is hosted by sandstone. Hole MO-G-11R includes two intervals of significant Cu
    and five zones of highly anomalous Pb/Zn, hosted mainly by green/grey siltstone.
    A WNW trending fault is interpreted from magnetics (Figures 3 and 4) which may explain the apparent offset
    of mineralised siltstone north of the interpreted fault from the relatively barren sandstones MO-G-10R south
    of the fault. Drill logs for holes MO-G-12R and MO-G-13R show strong similarities with MO-G-11R.
    Interpretation of the geology, structure and geometry of the near surface Cu/Pb/Zn mineralisation at T3 is
    still at a very early stage. The results from diamond drilling will provide higher quality geological and assay
    data and the capacity to test deeper targets within the 25km long interpreted T3 Dome. Diamond drill hole
    MOG-01D is in progress to test an inferred DHEM conductor modelled at >200m depth and MOG-02D is
    expected to provide information on the sulphide mineralisation in MO-G-11R and test the south side of an
    interpreted fault (Figure 2).
    The MOD/MTR joint venture now has one RC drill rig and two diamond core drill rigs on site supported by a
    strengthened geological team to manage the T3 Project. This enables the joint venture to start testing the
    potential along strike from the area of current drilling (Figure 3). The first two drill holes in this program
    (MO-G-14R and MO-G-15R) have intersected wide zones of visible disseminated Cu/Pb/Fe sulphides 100m
    west and east of the current drill section. Results are still being interpreted and assays are not yet available.
