Technical Report for the

LESHOBO LIMESTONE

Taung, North-West Province

7. RESOURCES ESTIMATION

A preliminary estimate of limestone resources was made by applying outcrop
dimensions to a depth of 60m taking into account limestone thickness above group
and applying a correction factor of 0.5, of resources estimated in outlined in Table 7.1.

Specification Area of Block
Area 45 200 m²
Depth 60m
Volume (factor of 0.5) 1 356 000m³
Specific Weight 2.7 g/cm³
Total Resources ?3 500 000 tonnes

Table 7.1 Leshobo Limestone, estimated Resources

From a geologic and economic point of view, the area is very suitable for mining of
medium to high purity limestone. According to the assessment, the Leshobo area of
Taung in the NorthWest Province contains more than 3.5 million tonnes of very high
quality limestone and the resources can be easily expanded because the limestone
units area extending further down and south eastern directions (see geological maps)
