The Company has a significant 100% owned tenement footprint in the titanium sand Gaza and Inhambane provinces – with 386.3 km² of Exploration Licenses already granted and 604 km² of Exploration Licenses pending grant.
Extensive HMS mineralisation has been defined by aircore drilling at the Corridor Central and Corridor South tenements – from which a Leapfrog geological model suggests host 1.9Bt @ 4.7% THM (at 4% THM cut-off). Significant opportunity exists to rapidly add value to the projects through low cost exploration activities over areas of known HMS mineralisation to discover high grade, large tonnage mineral resources.
