TSX-V-listed Giyani Metals Corporation has provided updates on the various exploration programmes it has under way at the southern extensions of the K.Hill project, as well as the Otse and Lobatse manganese prospects, in Botswana.

CEO Robin Birchall says the multiple exploration programmes are set to deliver value for the existing resource of the K.Hill project, while the other prospects are proving useful to build the company’s resource base.

Following assessment of initial reverse circulation (RC) drilling data received from the discovery of a new mineralised horizon at K.Hill Extension, the extent of which exceeded the company’s expectations, a new three-hole diamond drilling (DD) campaign of about 300 m has been launched.

The programme aims to intersect the new mineralised horizon and will assist in determining the orientation and structure of the orebody, as well as the nature of mineralisation.

The core recovered from the DD will also allow for accurate determination of density, as well as provide sample material for hydrometallurgical and comminution test work.

Drilling has started and is expected to take four weeks to complete.

Geologic data from the completed RC campaign at K.Hill Extension has already been submitted to consultancy SRK for processing and construction of a geological model.

Information from the DD campaign will also assist SRK in verification of the model and representation of the orebody in future resource estimation.

Giyani says any resource...
