Sandfire Resources Limited provided an update on the expanded exploration program which commenced towards the end of last year at its Tshukudu Exploration Project in the Kalahari Copper Belt in Botswana. The Tshukudu Exploration Project comprises around 11,700km of highly prospective licences surrounding Sandfire's T3 Copper-Silver Project, where it is progressing towards development of its first copper-silver mine in Botswana with an optimised Feasibility Study due for completion in the June Quarter of 2020. The Tshukudu licences represent a rare belt-scale exploration opportunity globally, comprising an extensive and strategic position along the 200km centre of a major emerging sediment- hosted copper belt. There has been minimal prior drilling and no modern or systematic exploration such as airborne electromagnetics (AEM) nor extensive soil sampling programs. The T3 Project has the potential to become a significant new production hub within this highly prospective area, providing the impetus for an expanded exploration effort leveraging off Sandfire's strong financial and technical resources. The potential of the Kalahari Copper Belt is evidenced by Cupric Canyon's Khoemacau Project, located east of the T3 Project, where a total property sulphide resource of 502Mt @ 1.4% Cu and 17g/t Ag, including 185Mt @ 2.0% Cu and 27g/t Ag has been announced by Cupric Canyon. Sandfire's licences west of the Khoemacau Project cover the central portion of the Kalahari Copper Belt and include many structural domes and anticlines interpreted to start at shallow depth below an extensive near-surface calcrete layer. The geological sequence and favourable structures which host copper mineralisation on the Cupric Canyon licences are interpreted to continue for more than 150km onto the Sandfire licences where they appear to be largely intact and are mostly untested. As a result, numerous priority targets have been identified for drilling by Sandfire. The A4 Dome is a large structural target located 8km west of T3 which has returned encouraging results from wide-spaced reconnaissance drilling undertaken in 2018 by MOD. The ~5km long A4 Dome was identified by airborne electromagnetic (AEM) surveys and is the first of multiple domes to be systematically tested outside the T3 Dome which hosts the 60Mt T3 Mineral Resource.
