About African Eagle
Since discovering a major nickel oxide deposit at Dutwa in Tanzania, African
Eagle is in transition from an explorer into a nickel producer. The Company
completed a positive scoping study on the Dutwa deposit in July 2009 and is
now working towards a feasibility study.
In addition to Dutwa, African Eagle is also evaluating a second promising
nickel oxide at Zanzui, which is located 60 km from Dutwa. The Company holds a
49% interest in the Mkushi Copper Mines joint venture in Zambia, for which a
draft feasibility study was completed in Q4 2008. It also holds a half million
ounce gold resource at the Miyabi project in Tanzania, and a portfolio of gold
and base metal exploration assets, including two projects in the Zambian
Copperbelt.
