    ANNOUNCEMENT
    NAMIBIA, SOUTH WESTERN AFRICA
    DIAMOND DRILLING PROGRESS
    KUISEB COPPER PROJECT
    New High grade copper (up to 16.80%) and gold (up to 20.10g/t)
    At the Hope Deposit
    Targeting a shallow open pit / underground mine
    Exploration Licences covering 150km of strike along the Matchtless Copper Belt in
    Namibia

    BACKGROUND
    On the 14 May 2007 the Company made a release to the ASX which provided detailed results on the
    current drilling program being carried out at the Hope Deposit within the Kuiseb copper-gold project,
    located in Namibia. Several holes were still in the laboratory awaiting analysis at the time of the
    release however details of a further two (2) holes have now been received by the Company.
    These results are very important as they are from holes that are located further down plunge from
    previously announced results. Accordingly, this now extends the strike length of the Hope Deposit to
    approximately 1200 meters from the outcrop. The additional two holes that are still awaiting analysis
    in this current drill program will extend the strike by another 200 meters to approximately 1400
    meters. The latest holes also contain very significant grades of both copper and go
    KUISEB COPPER PROJECT.

    NOTE
    1. Open pit intercepts assume notional cutoff grade of 0.75% Cu equivalent
    2. Underground mining assume notional cutoff grade of 1.0% Cu equivalent
    3. Copper Equivalent (CuEq) has assumed prices of US1.50/lb for copper, US$500/oz for gold, and
    US$10/oz for silver. Formula used here is: CuEq% = Cu % + (Au + Ag / 50) x 0.6
