Giyani Metals Corp. (
V.WDG,
OTCQB: CATPF,
Forum) has announce the filing of a National Instrument 43-101 technical report titled “Mineral Resource Estimate for the K.Hill Manganese Project, Botswana”. The mineral resource estimate was prepared by the
MSA Group – a South African-based mining and environmental consulting company.
The estimate demonstrated an inferred resource of 1.1 million tonnes grading 31.2% manganese oxide (MnO) at a cut-off grade of 18% MnO.
Giyani began exploration on its 8,135 square kilometer property in May, 2017 with a mapping and sampling program that resulted in identifying the K.Hill area as a priority prospect.
Subsequently, the Company has undertaken mineralogical and hydrometallurgical testing, plus carried out an exploration and resource drilling campaign in which 1,832 m was drilled. Drilling was focused on K.Hill where a total of 1,109.03 m was drilled, with 368 core samples assayed together with 57 quality control (QC) samples.
The results of preliminary metallurgical test-work suggest that the manganese mineralization at K.Hill may be amenable to processing to produce manganese metal that may be suitable for the battery market.
The company will shortly commence a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) to improve the understanding of the economic merits of the project with a focus on additional hydrometallurgical studies.
Giyani Metals Corp. is a Canadian based junior exploration company focused on creating shareholder value by accelerating the acquisition, exploration, evaluation, and development of its battery-grade manganese projects in the Kanye Basin, Botswana, Africa.
