Highest grade results to date in Zone 2 of Kishon Mid-Reach
Shefa Gems (LSE: SEFA), a company focused on advanced
exploration and development of multi-gemstone projects in Northern
Israel, is pleased to announce sample results exceeding previous
highest grades in Zone 2 of the Kishon Mid-Reach following the
processing and analysis of two bulk samples.
The first sample yielded a record Target Mineral Assemblage
('TMA') grade of 467 carats per hundred tonnes (cpht). For
comparison, the aggregate results from the first five bulk samples
from the northern part of Kishon Mid Reach Zone 2, as announced on
31 January 2019, was 135 cpht and the average TMA grade assumed in
the Technical and Economic Evaluation of Zone 1 was 153 cpht.
As is to be expected from the Company's geological model, the
second sample returned a lower grade of 39 cpht because it was
taken on the upstream, less well developed, side of the main
placer.
Taken together, the sample results indicate continuous
prospectivity across southern and northern parts of Zone 2 and
therefore support the Company's intention to increase the life of
mine beyond Zone 1.
The results from these two bulk samples, follow the excavation
of five bulk samples from the southern part of Kishon Mid Reach
Zone 2, as announced on 24 June 2019. The three remaining bulk
samples are being processed at the Company's treatment facility in
Akko and results are expected to be announced in the first quarter
of 2020.
Vered Toledo, Chief Operating Officer of Shefa Gems, said:
"These two bulk samples, which include the highest ever grade
results in Zone 2, form part of a bulk sampling programme to
deliver a resource estimate for the Kishon Mid Reach Zone 2
project. The results are very encouraging and tie into our
expectations for the significant potential in the Kishon Mid
Reach."
Competent Person:
This bulk sample campaign was planned and approved by Dr. J.D.
Ward, the Shefa Gems Consulting Geologist at Majimba
Geo-Consulting. Dr. Ward is a qualified geologist (Pr.Sci.Nat), and
a leading alluvial diamond exploration and mining geologist with
over 35 years' field experience.
