Canada-based Giyani Metals Corp. has released an updated mineral resource estimate for the K. Hill Project in Botswana. The new estimate is part of the feasibility study for the manganese project.
The company said infill drilling has resulted in the conversion of approximately 95% of the current inferred mineral resources for the K.Hill Project to the indicated resource category and a 25% increase in total contained manganese metal.
Indicated mineral resources in the project's main mineralized zone now stand at 1.6 million tonnes at an average grade of 22% manganese (Mn0), or 400,000 tonnes of contained Mn metal.
Inferred resources, including the newly discovered mineralized horizon known as the B Horizon, are estimated at 1.4 million tonnes at an average grade of 13.9% MnO, or 200,000 tonnes of contained Mn metal.
