Madagascar - Drilling Update at Londokomanana Project
Second Borehole Confirms New Nickel Mineralisation with PGE Credits In Northern
Londokomanana
Highlights:
• A second borehole, drilled 400metres to the north of the previously
announced new nickel discovery in the Mavoandro ultramafic formation, intersects
very wide widths of disseminated nickel-bearing sulphide mineralisation with
platinum group element (PGE) mineralisation in association.
• Borehole MAV004 intersects 136 metres of wide intervals of
disseminated sulphide mineralisation ranging from 3m to 84m widths with weighted
average nickel values in the range 0.22% to 0.26% and peak values of up to 0.35%
Ni over 1m widths. PGE credits are up to 0.16g/t.
• Thick widths and shallow mineralisation fits with bulk mining target
key criteria

Borehole MAV004, as with previous borehole MAV002, targeted coincident
electromagnetic conductivity and geochemical copper anomalies. The lithologies
intersected generally comprise sequences of medium grained olivine pyroxenite,
pyroxenite, olivine gabbro and peridotite, within which occur disseminated
sulphides.
The Mavoandro ultramafic formation lies some 8 kilometres north along strike of
the mineralised ultramafic formations at Antsahabe, where previous drilling by
Jubilee intersected two wide zones of 48 metres and 32 metres width respectively
with excellent sulphide mineralisation
Colin Bird, CEO of Jubilee commented, 'This second intersection of nickel
mineralisation, in the newly discovered area at Mavoandro that was announced 14
November, is extremely encouraging. We now have a defined marker to target
further drilling moving towards infill drilling.
Set Point Laboratories (ISO 17025 and SANAS Accredited) in Johannesburg, South
Africa, carried out analyses of the samples. Quality control and assurance in
place currently comprises of standards, blanks and check samples making up
between 10% and 20% of samples submitted.
