ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

14 October 2019

ASX code: GED

Extensive New Area of Tailings Containing High Levels

of Vanadium, Lead & Zinc Identified at Abenab

  • Broad area of vanadium, lead and zinc bearing tailings identified at Abenab Project, providing further impetus to support project development
  • Tailings covers an area of 1,250m by 250m to a depth of up to 1m
  • Tailings contain up to 1.61% V2O5, 4.33% Pb and 3.23% Zn
  • Further new areas of high grade tailings identified for sampling providing further upside potential

Golden Deeps Limited ("Golden Deeps" or "the Company") ASX: GED which is targeting near term, low capital and operating cost vanadium production, is pleased to announce assay results from sampling of additional areas of mine tails at the Company's flagship Abenab Vanadium, Lead and Zinc Project located in North Eastern Namibia.

A handheld powered auger drill was used to sample a broad area of unconstrained tailings within a shallow valley extending to the northeast of the existing Abenab mine site (Figure 1-2).

The tailings are 0.25m to 0.5m thick, increasing to over 1m in the immediate vicinity of the plant and have a grade of 0.2% to over 1% V2O5. The highest value is 1.61% V2O5 in a valley to the east and south of the plant site. Lead and zinc values average 1.74% and 1.51% respectively, with peak values of 4.33% Pb and 3.23% Zn. Best results include:

ABTS179

0.5m @ 1.61% V2O5, 4.34% Pb, 1.55% Zn from surface

ABTS178

0.5m @ 1.49% V2O5, 4.16% Pb, 1.71% Zn from surface

ABTS208

0.5m @ 1.34% V2O5, 3.65% Pb, 1.65% Zn from surface

ABTS180

0.6m @ 1.08% V2O5, 3.54% Pb, 3.08% Zn from surface

The tailings are interpreted to be derived from the historic processing plant located on a hill 200m to the east of the historic Abenab open pit. The auger drilling was conducted on a 100m x 100m grid over an area measuring approximately 1,250m by 250m.

GED Chairman Michael Minosora stated "The results from the auger sampling of the tailings are particularly encouraging and represent a potential new source of vanadium mineralisation that should be able to be processed at low cost as part of the planned initial operations at the Abenab Project.

These results, which are in addition to the surface stockpiles and tailings already identified, are particularly pleasing as they follow soon after the identification of vanadium mineralisation in the south wall of the historic Abenab open pit that requires further drill testing, and which represent another potential shallow source of vanadium."

Next Steps

The sampling has revealed additional areas of tailings in the surrounding valleys and low-lying areas at Abenab that will require further assessment and additional auger sampling. Of particular interest to GED is the single traverse of auger holes in a valley to the east and south of the plant where the tailings are consistently over 1% V2O5. The tailings extend for ~500m and to date have been virtually untested.
