Kasbah Resources Limited (ASX:KAS)
Perth, April 28, 2009 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Kasbah Resources Limited (ASX:KAS) is pleased to provide this update as to the company's progress in Morocco. The company's prime exploration focus during the quarter has been its Achmmach Tin Project.
During this quarter site visits by structural and geostatistical specialists were undertaken to create a structural model and to determine the spatial continuity of the deposit at different cut off grades. A conceptual model for the mineralisation was developed by integrating all recent regional and prospect scale mapping and diamond drill core logging and the Meknes zone core was re-logged as part of this process.
At the company's 100% owned Tamlalt Gold Project an initial phase of surface rock chip sampling was completed over the Jebel Malek prospect and a number of diamond drill holes were re-logged.
Highlights - Tin
Assays were received for drill hole AD028 which had been completed late in the last quarter. It returned a significant intersection (down hole widths) of 38.0m @ 0.93% tin from 235.0m.
An initial regional 1:5,000 scale mapping programme was completed over approximately 20 square kilometres within the western Achmmach lease.
Over 1,200 metres of prospect scale 1:1,000 scale surface mapping was completed along the eastern and western strike extent of the Meknes Zone.
The main outcropping tourmaline altered lodes were mapped and linked in sections and on level plans to the tin mineralisation in previous underground development and diamond drilling.
John Vann, a geostatistics specialist of Quantitative Group visited and inspected the sample preparation facility at ONHYM in Rabat currently used by Kasbah as part of a five day orientation and familiarisation visit.
Dr. Toby Davis, a structural specialist with Impel Geosciences spent 10 days on site mapping outcrop and logging core at Achmmach to develop a structural model for the mineralisation.
A topographic survey was completed on three kilometres of the southern access roads in preparation for the next phase of drilling at Achmmach.
Phase 1 A mineralogy programme results indicated the potential to achieve approximately 80% recovery of contained Sn into a saleable concentrate grading >50% Sn.
Highlights - Gold
Gold assay results were received from QA/QC assay verification of sixty quarter core samples from historic ONHYM drilling at the Jebel Malek prospect.
Kasbah collected 323 rock chip samples over ground magnetic anomalies and structural targets identified at Jebel Malek gold prospect.
