BRIEF CASE

Discovery Gets Prospecting Licences
Discovery Metals Limited has received approval from the Department of Geological Survey (Botswana) for seven additional prospecting licences.

The additional area covers 5,700 square km from the western boundary of the company's current copper-silver tenements across to the Namibian border. An assessment of the seven new tenements indicates that they have potential to contain about 600-strike km of mineralisation of a similar style to that found in the company's current Zeta, Plutus and Petra Inferred Mineral resources. Discovery Metals already has an inferred mineral resource of 46.1 million tonnes at 1.3 percent copper. Securing the tenements gives Discovery control over a substantial portion of the Kalahari Copper Belt.
