AFRICAN EAGLE, A Gold Explorer With Massive Potential. (AFE)     

goldfinger - 06 Jan 2004 01:54

Ive always said I would not start looking at the Gold Explorers untill POG broke through $420, well its done that today and this company in my mind is the best potential producer around, and heres why.

MANAGEMENT

Has two experinced Managers in mining in Mark Parker and John Park, both have extensive exploration management in Africa in mining and have proved themselfs in the past selling out small mines to the big boys.

THE MINES

ZAMBIA.

Here the company as 5 potential Block busters but the REAL GEM of the company Sasere, known as EAGLE EYE is an old Gold mine but recent sampling shows that it could provide massive deposits of Copper and Gold.

These are the drilling results we are waiting for. Estimations are fantastic and we could see that the company is sitting on deposits worth many times over of the market cap of the company of circa 12.2 million.

MOZAMBIQUE

Three sites here and Nickel is the one they are looking for. Dont forget Nickel is the highest commodity riser after Gold and is hitting new highs.


TANZANIA

Big prospect here is Miyabi.

African Eagle are carrying out a joint venture with the giant Miner Gold Fields. Drilling results are to be given to Goldfields by 31/January this year.

If results are expected what the management of Goldfields want, African Eagle retain a 30% stake in one massive deposit.

This is an exciting investment but one that is HIGH RISK like any other gold explorer.

We should have news very early on two fronts.

If this news is positive we are looking at one hell of an investment.

Please Dyor and remember your buying and selling actions are in your own hands.

Cheers GF.

ps, up 19% today waiting for the results.

Maybe people are coming back for the expected mid dec drill results?


http://www.uk-wire.com/cgi-bin/articles/200411290700317357F.html
"In line with the first objective, the Company is pleased to report that it has
begun reverse circulation drilling at its Igurubi gold project. An extensive
shear zone gold system along the granite-greenstone contact at Igurubi has been
worked by artisanal miners for many years and has yielded promising geochemical
results. The first drilling results are expected in mid-December."

NEW RESOURCE ESTIMATE OF 400,000 OUNCES GOLD

FOR THE MIYABI GOLD PROJECT, TANZANIA





African Eagle ('the Company', Ticker: AFE) today announces that independent
geological consultants SRK have completed a technical audit of the Company's
drilling and assay work at the Miyabi gold project in Tanzania and calculated a
new independent resource estimate for the project. The total resource outlined
to date is 8.3 million tonnes at an average grade of 1.5 grams per tonne,
containing 400,000 ounces of gold, of which 75% is in the JORC Indicated
category.



Mark Parker, the Company's Managing Director, comments 'This work, carried out
to the widely accepted JORC standard by a respected independent consultant, will
permit future drill results to be incorporated into the data base with a high
level of confidence and will allow the resource estimate to be upgraded
incrementally as drilling progresses. The resource provides a sound footing to
African Eagle's 2005 drilling programme which has now started at Miyabi, and we
expect to add to it substantially over the coming months'.



During early 2004, the Company's geologists carried out a complete re-appraisal
and interpretation of the entire Miyabi exploration database and identified
several promising targets. Drilling on the first of these targets, Faida,
intersected a wide, consistent zone of gold mineralization. By the end of 2004,
African Eagle had demonstrated from geophysical surveys and geochemical mapping
that this zone extended for at least 500m along strike. Although only half of
this interpreted strike length has been drilled to date, drill intersections,
including 58m at 4.03g/t and 60.7 metres at 1.57g/t, demonstrated that the zone
extends to at least 150m down-dip.



The discovery of the Faida zone shifted the Miyabi gold project from exploration
phase to resource evaluation phase. Consequently, the Company commissioned SRK
Consulting of Cardiff, UK to conduct an independent technical audit of the
drilling and assaying procedures used by the Company and to make a formal
resource estimate based on all the results to date. Four other mineralised
zones within the Miyabi project area, Kilimani, Shambani North and South, and
Ngaya, were also included in the SRK audit and estimate.



The drill core from Faida has given the Company's geologists a much better
understanding of the structural controls on the mineralisation at Miyabi. This
knowledge will now be applied to the other three zones, where mainly reverse
circulation drilling has been carried out so far, and to the other, yet
undrilled target zones identified by the data re-appraisal. The Faida core will
also be tested to determine the metallurgical recoverability of the gold in the
zone.



Diamond drilling to add to these resources is now underway and a reverse
circulation rig is expected to mobilise in May. Drilling will continue through
much of the next ten months.



The table below sets out the Mineral Resources in each of the mineralised zones
drilled to date. Mineral Resources are above a cut off grade of 0.5 g/t gold
and are reported using the terminology and guidelines given in the December 2004
JORC Code. Following the table are SRK's notes on each of the zones.



Zone Resource category Tonnage (t) Grade (g/t) Ounces

Faida Indicated 3,175,000 1.6 165,000
Inferred 375,000 1.8 20,000
Kilimani Indicated 1,920,000 1.3 80,000
Inferred 400,000 1.6 20,000
Shambani S Indicated 490,000 2.0 30,000
Inferred 120,000 2.0 10,000
Shambani N Indicated 640,000 1.4 30,000
Inferred 355,000 1.2 15,000
Ngaya Inferred 850,000 1.2 35,000

Total Indicated 6,230,000 1.5 300,000
Inferred 2,110,000 1.4 100,000
Total 8,335,000 1.5 400,000



Note : appropriate rounding has resulted in apparent summation errors



In summary, the Miyabi deposits have been interpreted as several similarly
orientated continuous lenses with within a clearly defined structural corridor.
Each deposit in the resource model has been interpreted as a tabular,
northeast-striking, steep-dipping shear zone. The deposits contain a small
amount of low grade material but otherwise are remarkably continuous in
geometry. Higher grade patches are discernable and these may be more effectively
outlined in the future by infill and extension drilling. The current drilling
programme has been designed, in part, to test the continuity of these higher
grade areas.



Faida has been modelled to 150m down dip over a strike length of 300m. The
deposit is mostly over 25m wide. Although only 10 drillholes intersect the
deposit, their results suggest a consistent width and grade of mineralisation,
most of which can be classed as an Indicated Mineral Resource. The deposit is
open at depth and to the northeast.



The Kilimani resource model has a strike length of 550m and a dip extent of some
130m, defined by 43 drillhole intersections. The thickness varies between 5 and
20m in the main part of the deposit. Drilling is concentrated in the northeast
where an Indicated Mineral Resource has been defined whilst wider spaced
drilling in the southwest supports an Inferred Mineral Resource. The deposit is
open at depth and along strike, particularly at depth to the northeast.



The Shambani North resource model has a strike length of 450m and a dip extent
of some 120m defined by 15 drillhole intersections. The thickness is generally
less than 7m although locally, it swells to 25m. The drilling coverage is
sufficient to support Indicated Mineral Resource status in the southwest. The
deposit is open at depth and to the southwest.



The Shambani South resource model has a strike length of 450m and a dip extent
of 100m. This deposit is situated some 160m to the southeast of Shambani North.
The thickness is a reasonably constant 5-8m thinning towards the edges.
Drilling, consisting of 24 intersections, has concentrated in two broad areas,
which together constitute an Indicated Mineral Resource, whilst wider spaced
intersections support an Inferred Mineral Resource. The deposit is open at depth
and along strike.



The Ngaya resource model extends for 300m along strike and 115m down dip. The
deposit is relatively narrow but reaches a width of 20m in the central part.
Thirteen drillholes intersect the deposit but they are not on a set of regular
sections, making interpretation relatively difficult. However, two lenses of
mineralisation with similar strike and dip orientations to the neighbouring
deposits have been interpreted with enough confidence to support an Inferred
Mineral Resource. The deposit is open at depth and to the northeast and will
benefit from a regular pattern of infill drilling.

Late Extra - Share Overhang Lifted, At Last, From African Eagle

Yesterday 17 million shares in African Eagle Resources changed hands at marginally below the market price on the AIM Market. RAB Capital had exercised its warrants with a day to spare and the shares had been placed with a number of institutional investors. RAB Capital helped the company and its broker in this exercise and, as a result, some new funds and interesting funds are on the shareholder list.

This was good for the company, as was the fact that it had raised 1 million by the exercise of the warrants. Happiest of all should be the shareholders as it has been known for a long time that RAB would have to sell 8.5 million shares, if it exercised the warrants, to avoid going over the 30 per cent threshold and having to bid for the company.

With the dark cloud of overhang now lifted, maybe the shares will start to reflect some of the news of recent weeks.

Safiande - 04 Oct 2005 13:48 - 241 of 300

Mineral prospector African Eagle is contemplating hiving off some operations into a new company after encouraging copper results in Zambia.

Chaired by genial Australian entrepreneur John Park, AIM-quoted African Eagle, which lost an increased 224,500 in the six months to June, has 2.5 million in the bank, including 1 million after the recent exercise of warrants by shareholder RAB Capital. The company, which has been working to develop the 400,000-oz Miyabi gold project in Tanzania, claims its string of copper and gold projects in Zambia, Tanzania and Mozambique have a present value of 278 million and combined value of 16.5 billion against a current market value of 23 million.

Park particularly enthuses about the company's Mkushi prospect in Zambia, where 1990s studies estimated a potential resource of 30 million tonnes at 1.25 per cent copper. He says African Eagle has signed confidentiality agreements with 'mid-tier' mining companies on some of its Zambian properties and says large mining groups have been in touch following its acquisition of a 480 sq km in the heart of the Zambian copperbelt.

In Tanzania, African Eagle recently drilled one exceptionally high-grade gold intersection of three metres at 241 grammes a tonne at Msasa, next to gold properties being deve1oped by major mining group American Barrick. African Eagle's strategy is not to develop its projects itself, but to bring in operating partners or sell big chunks, retaining a free carried interest.

According to Park, the company may need to raise some money early next year to fund further investigation of its projects. That might provide the occasion to split off some parts, such as Miyabi for instance, into a separate quoted vehicle.

African Eagle has been a slow mover on AIM, though current developments might rekindle interest. The current share price is 22p

GB - Nothing factual to add I suppose, unlike across the road where that seems to be a reason for encouragement to post.

IMHO AFE whilst speculative does carry a cogent case for anticipating a bright future. This will ultimately be reflected in the share price. If you want price action this is not the place to invest. This is one for patient investors.

DRILLING UPDATE FROM MKUSHI

African Eagle Resources plc ('the Company' or 'African Eagle', ticker AFE) is
pleased to announce further results from its 2006 drilling programme at the
Mkushi copper project in central Zambia. Mineralised drill intercepts included:

o 57m at 2.0% copper
o 155m at 0.4% copper
o 24m at 1.3% copper

African Eagle's Managing Director, Mark Parker, comments, 'Our drill results
continue to demonstrate that there is a robust copper mineralised system at
Mkushi. As our 'nearest market' project, Mkushi offers excellent potential for
African Eagle to move into production and positive cash-flow.'

African Eagle is undertaking an economic scoping and pre-feasibility study on
Mkushi, scheduled for completion by the 4th quarter of this year. We hope that
this will lead to a full feasibility study and a commercial production decision
by the end of 2007.

The new results are from the Company's continuing drilling programme at Mkushi
aimed at defining the copper resources beneath the old mining operation at
Munshiwemba, in its southwest extension (known as H-Zone) and at the Coloquo
prospect 2.5 km to the northeast.

The results of the latest drilling are tabulated below and a map showing all the
drill results to date along this zone can be seen at

The high grade intersection in hole MH23 occurs 100m along strike from hole MH9
which intersected 84m at 1.8% copper. Together, these two holes confirm the
existence of substantial high grade copper zones within H zone.

Samples of drill core have been shipped for metallurgical testing and the
Company plans to drain the water from the 30m deep open pit at Munshiwemba, to
allow detailed evaluation of the mineralisation beneath the pit floor.

About African Eagle

African Eagle is a mineral resources company with its focus on eastern and
central Africa. It operates in Zambia, Tanzania and Mozambique, countries with
highly prospective geology and low above-ground risks, which have all been
destinations for successful recent major investments in the metals and minerals
industries.

The Company has a highly motivated team, proven management and an experienced
board. Its principal operations are the Miyabi gold project in Tanzania and the
Mkushi and Ndola copper projects in Zambia. It has discovered a large iron oxide
copper gold (IOCG) system at Eagle Eye in Zambia and holds a well-balanced
portfolio of promising early stage projects.

About Mkushi

The Mkushi copper project in Zambia is African Eagle's 'nearest-market' asset.

Mkushi is a historic copper mining camp which was operated in the 1920s and the
1960s. A report commissioned by the Zambian national copper company in 1990
estimated that more than 300,000 tonnes of copper metal remained in the ground
at Mkushi, at a grade of 1.24% copper. African Eagle has been drilling over the
past months to check this estimate, which pre-dates modern resource reporting
standards, and it appears to be well founded.

Moreover, geophysical surveys have indicated that other mineralised zones exist
which were not recognised by previous explorers. The Company believes that these
could bring the total to 500,000 tonnes of contained copper metal.

The local infrastructure around Mkushi is excellent and the past history of
mining should make it reasonably straightforward to obtain government permits
for renewed operations. The mineralisation has a simple chalcopyrite mineralogy,
which should allow the Company to produce a copper sulphide concentrate
efficiently at relatively modest capital cost. This product could be sold
directly to the smelters on the copperbelt, or exported on the nearby railway
for shipment to any smelter in the world.

African Eagle aims to generate income from Mkushi as soon as possible. The
Company has commenced a scoping study which will include metallurgical and
geotechnical test work and preliminary economic modelling based on a modular
approach to project development. It is expected that this formal study will
support the Company's own preliminary calculations which show that Mkushi could
be highly profitable. The Company could be in a position to make a production
decision before the end of 2007.

We published a major note on African Eagle on 27th March which can be obtained by emailing stephanie@tisl.co.uk and in which we set a target price of 60p - nothing has changed since then to alter our assessment and at 19.5p the shares remain very cheap.

African Eagle is an AIM listed mining exploration company focussed largely on Tanzania - where it is prospecting for gold
and Zambia where its quest is for copper. The company is not part of the recent wave of AIM new issues but has been around for many years, formerly trading on Ofex where it was known as Twigg. In chairman John Park, managing director Mark Parker and exploration manager Chris Davies it has a hugely experienced senior management team. Bolstered by a recent placing at 17p, the company has net cash which is easily sufficient to meet its needs over the coming year.

On April 7th African announced the latest drill results from Mkushi in Zambia, the highlights of which were an 57 metre intersection at 2% copper and a 155 metre intersection at 0.4% copper. African Eagle will be looking to drive Mkushi towards production in 2007 and this could be achieved for as little as $10 million giving the project a three figure NPV. A full feasibility study will be undertaken this year.

The other lead project is the Miyabi gold play in Tanzania and a new estimate of the proven resource was published on 21st March. This showed an increases from 400,000 oz to 520,000 oz and the company stated explicitly that this should be a 1 million oz reserve.

African Eagle is focussing its efforts on realising value and generating cash from Mkushi and Miyabi but it has at least five other projects which have all shown the potential to be of commercial value: Igurubi, Ndola, Lunga, Makombo and Eagle Eye. Our conservative sum-of-the-parts valuation for Eagle Eye is 60p per share and thus at 19.5p our stance remains "speculative buy."

African Eagle Resources plc ('the Company' or 'African Eagle')

DRILLING UPDATE FROM MKUSHI COPPER MINES

African Eagle Resources plc ('the Company' or 'African Eagle', ticker AFE),
announces further excellent results from its ongoing resource definition
drilling programme at Mkushi Copper Mines in central Zambia. Best mineralised
drill intercepts include:

27m at 2.1% copper
61m at 1.4% copper
52m at 1.3% copper
132m at 0.5% copper
73m at 0.6% copper

African Eagle's Managing Director Mark Parker comments 'Mkushi is giving
consistently good results and it now compares very favourably with other copper
projects being brought into production in southern Africa. The latest results
are from a mineralised body to the southwest of the old open pit. So far, we
have outlined 12 to 14 million tonnes at an average grade between 0.7 and 1.2%
copper in this body, according to our preliminary estimates. Drilling continues
and we expect to announce an independent resource estimate during Q3, with a
development scoping study soon after.

'African Eagle believes that Mkushi will add up to a substantial copper deposit,
which internal economic modelling indicates should be profitable across a wide
range of copper prices. Our recent 3.3M financing will enable us to accelerate
the project towards feasibility and development.'

The new results are from the southwest extension of a copper deposit which was
mined by an open pit in the 1960s and 1970s. African Eagle has now traced this
body, known as 'H-Zone', for at least 800m along strike and down to 160 vertical
metres below surface. The zone is up to 60m wide and should therefore be
suitable for open pit development.

Preliminary geological modelling of H-Zone by African Eagle's geologists, based
on the drill results to date, indicates a potential of at least 12 to 14 million
tonnes with grades of the order of 0.7 to 1.2%, to a depth of 150 vertical
metres below surface. This estimate includes only that part of the main
mineralised body drilled to date and does not take into account a smaller
parallel body. As a priority, African Eagle now intends to complete sufficient
additional drilling to allow an independently audited JORC resource estimate to
be prepared during the third quarter of 2006.

There is also considerable scope to add to the resource at Mkushi by drilling
other mineralised zones. A resource estimate of 30.4 million tonnes grading
1.23% copper, equating to more than 370,000 tonnes of copper metal, was made in
1990, based on the four mineralised zones for which drill reports were then
available. Already the preliminary tonnage estimate for H-Zone alone accounts
for more than one third of this figure and the other known zones and potential
new ones identified by African Eagle's geologists remain to be evaluated.

Past mining from the open pit yielded 2.2 million tonnes of ore at an average
grade of 1% copper, but the pit reached a depth of only 30 metres and archive
reports indicate that considerable resources remain beneath the old workings.
The Company plans to drill this area once the old pit can be pumped dry.

Moreover, there are known mineralised zones which have never been drilled and
African Eagle's induced polarisation geophysical surveys have identified many
other chargeable zones which may be additional copper resources elsewhere within
the prospecting licence.

African Eagle has now completed 48 inclined diamond and percussion drill holes
for a total of 7906m at the Mkushi Copper Mines. The principal results of the
latest drilling are tabulated below. A table of all mineralised drill intercepts
to date and a map showing key drill results from H-Zone can be viewed at

About African Eagle

African Eagle is a mineral resources company operating in eastern and central
Africa. It holds projects in Zambia, Tanzania and Mozambique, countries with
highly prospective geology and low above-ground risks, which have all been
destinations for successful recent major investments in the metals and minerals
industries.

The Company has a highly motivated team, proven management and an experienced
board. Its principal operation is the Mkushi Copper Mines projects in Zambia. It
also holds the Miyabi gold project in Tanzania, the Ndola copper project in the
Zambian Copperbelt and has discovered a large iron oxide copper gold (IOCG)
system at Eagle Eye in Zambia. There is also a well-balanced portfolio of
promising early stage exploration projects.

About Mkushi Copper Mines

Discovered in 1922, the Mkushi deposits were first mined by underground
workings, then developed as an open pit operation in the late 1960s. The mine
closed around the time of Zambia's nationalisation of the copper industry in the
1970s, but archive reports indicate that there is still abundant ore left in the
ground. African Eagle Resources acquired the Mkushi Copper Mines in 2002 through
a share-based acquisition of an Australian exploration company and is now
drilling to confirm and expand the known copper resource.

The local infrastructure around Mkushi is excellent and the brownfield site
should make it straightforward to obtain permits for renewed operations. The
deposits have simple chalcopyrite mineralogy which should allow a concentrate to
be produced efficiently at relatively modest capital cost. Mkushi is the only
Zambian copper mine in rocks older than the Katangan sequence which hosts the
well known Copperbelt deposits.

African Eagle is also exploring a wide area surrounding the old mines.
Geophysical induced polarisation surveys, which to date cover almost 30 square
kilometres, have revealed additional anomalies in the area, which African Eagle
believes could bring the total resource to 50Mt at 1% or more copper, with
500,000 tonnes of contained metal.

The Company is conducting a full resource drilling programme and economic
evaluation at Mkushi, leading to a full feasibility study during 2007, with a
view to taking the project to commercial production.
