4. KAPULO-CONGO-COPPER
13 April 2006: To farm into Anvils Kapulo Copper Tenements in the Congo

The deal enables Mawson West to earn a 65% interest in the project for a total expenditure of US$4M over four years. The earn-in will be staged, with Mawson West able to gain control of the project, with a 51% interest, after spending US$2.7M or upon definition of a JORC compliant indicated resource of 50,000t of copper (at 4%), whichever comes first. The terms of the agreement also provide for an equity interest to be held in trust for the local community, in line with a similar arrangement at Anvil’s Dikulushi Mine.

Mawson West will operate under a strategic agreement with Anvil, whereby Mawson West will work as a contract company to Anvil until it has gained a 51% interest. This will allow Mawson West to operate under the terms of Anvil’s Dikulushi Mining Convention, and to benefit from the years of experience built up by Anvil in the DRC.

27 June: High Grade Copper Mineralisation at Kapulo Project
http://sa.iguana2.com/cache/cb935750272cef9b58a55fd2c8466c91/ASX-MWE-326652.pdf
• Up to 30% copper recorded in rock chips
• High-grade results occurring at all of the prospects sampled to-date
• Scope for increasing the number of known copper mineralised systems
• Resource drilling is expected to commence within the next month

7 July: Due Diligence on Kapulo Copper Project in DRC complete

Very promising initial results, indicated:
• High (near 90%) recovery from oxide ore.
• The resultant concentrate may be amenable to direct electrowinning or copper sulphide precipitation, without the need for a costly Solvent Extraction plant and process.
• The open pit ore, heap/bulk leach possibility, plus the direct electrowinning/copper sulphide precipitation possibility will result in very low capex requirements for development.
These metallurgical results combined with the systematic channel sampling at surface of a number of deposits, including 8m @ 11% Cu, 9m @ 8.6% Cu, 9m @ 7.6% Cu (Katanga Deposit) 5m@ 10.6% Cu, and 10m @ 3.8% Cu (Safari South Deposit), give evidence of good open pit mining widths of copper ore, and the possibility of very low capex start-up.
