Initial results at Otse indicate a significant source of high-grade material to feed Giyani's proposed processing facility

Giyani Metals Corp. has completed its initial exploration drilling campaign at the Otse manganese oxide prospect and updated exploration at the K.Hill Project.

Highlights

  • 66 reverse circulation drill holes have been completed at both the north and south target areas for a total 4,149 metres
  • Initial Otse results show high grade mineralization in multiple holes with intersections in excess of 50% manganese oxide as analysed by an on-site portable X-ray Fluorescence machine
  • Samples from Otse are to be dispatched for assay and metallurgical testwork will be undertaken prior to mineral resource estimation, which is currently expected in the first half of 2022
  • Geological modelling of the full K.Hill Project, including the recently discovered southern extension is progressing prior to a new mineral resource estimate for the combined project, which is expected to be completed in the first half of 2022

Otse Exploration

Giyani has completed its first RC drilling campaign at Otse North and Otse South following up on targets previously identified with an induced polarisation survey. Drilling has been focused around the site of historical workings and data has shown excellent correlation between northwest-southeast trending chargeable anomalies and manganese mineralisation. Visible mineralisation has been confirmed by pXRF analysis.

A first batch of 803 samples...
