EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES

Belyando Gold Project

Planning and preparation for field activities continued during the quarter, in particular:

  1. A heap of previously-mined gold-bearing material is situated adjacent to the old mine. Previous estimates of tonnage and grade of the heap do not accord with the JORC resource guidelines so cannot be reported. Wirralie Mines extracted around 1,000 oz gold from a cyanide heap leach program during the period 2006 - 07, but this is likely to have been only a small proportion of the contained gold. Zamia is preparing for a scoping study to investigate the commercial viability of a small operation based on re-crushing and cyanide leaching of the previously-mined material.

  2. The priority exploration targets are the down-plunge extensions of the known gold lodes that were mined in the previous open-cut operation (1989 - 1995). Zamia plans a gradient array I.P. survey covering a larger area than the previous (1986) survey and capable of penetrating to greater depth. This will be followed by drilling to test targets.

  3. More broadly, there is potential for (a) undiscovered lodes lateral to and along strike from the known lodes; (b) a broad zone of low grade gold (0.8 - 1.0 g/t Au) associated with a 1986 I.P. chargeability anomaly extending away from known gold concentrations; and (c) satellite gold deposits. Zamia plans a helicopter magnetic survey over Belyando and extending several kilometres beyond.

Porphyry Copper-Gold Targets

Zamia is seeking a potential joint venture partner to fund follow-up exploration on priority identified targets.
