The results are from the first three holes assayed from the 74% owned Avontuur Projects, which comprise a permit area of 370sq km. The manganese discoveries were identified on two mineralised prospects some 20km apart and adjoining the northern-most farms of the main Kalahari Manganese Field. The permit was taken up initially for iron ore, but modelling of aeromagnetic data and assessment of previous exploration identified two targets for manganese mineralisation.
