The Company discovered Dutwa in 2008, completed a scoping study on in June 2009, and is currently conducting a feasibility study. The deposit contains 92mt at 0.88% nickel (JORC inferred mineral resource). Initial metallurgical work indicates that the laterite will be able to be processed with standard heap leaching and no need for a costly HPAL facility. African Eagle is also evaluating a second promising nickel laterite deposit at Zanzui in Tanzania, 50km south of Dutwa which is currently in the drilling and testing phase. In December 2008, African Eagle resolved to prioritise the Dutwa project, because the Board believes that, of all the Company`s projects, it offered the greatest potential to add value. To take its other discoveries into production, African Eagle is seeking industry partners with records of successful mine development, by means of joint ventures, farm-ins, spin-outs or other mechanisms. These include: a 49% interest in the Mkushi Copper Mines joint venture project in Zambia, for which a draft feasibility study was completed in Q4 2008; the Miyabi gold project in Tanzania which has a half a million ounce JORC gold resource; the Ndola and Mokambo projects in the Zambian Copperbelt; and the Igurubi gold project in Tanzania. Zambia, Tanzania and Mozambique, the sites of African Eagle`s projects, are all countries which have highly prospective geology, relatively low above-ground risks and track records of successful major investments in the metals and minerals industries.
