The company is registered in England and operates through its sole subsidiary, Sheba
Exploration Limited, in northern Ethiopia. At Una Deriam EEL a 10 kilometre long trend of
gold anomalies is under investigation, of which about 5km has been defined in relative
detail, including trenching and some drilling. At Shehagne EEL the company has
discovered and traced a 2.8 kilometre long gold soil anomaly and completed preliminary
trenching and drilling this licence is now under option to Stratex International Plc. At
Finarwa EPL a third gold project is underway, following positive results from early stage
geochemical exploration. At Winibo EPL a 4.5km copper zone has been traced in outcrop and further exploration is planed.

Stratex news today highlighted prospectivity of Ethiopia and they drew geological comparison with some small inconsequential field

Sheba have fields with geological similarity to multi-million oz potential fields

This is only going one way in my opinion and the recent move to improve PR is a strong leading indicator. I am buying more as and when funds are available and believe this has serious 5-10 bagger potential.

I would not be surprised if STI or some other company interested in Sheba's acreage has made an early expression of interest if not a friendly proposal.

Good to see Sheba Exploration getting a mention in Stratex releases.

Sheba is by far and away the cheapest play on the gold prospects of the Arabian-Nubian shield...



Sheba

At 3p/share the Market Capitalisation of Sheba Exploration is only 3m. Which makes it look very cheap next to other gold explorers in the Arabian-Nubian Shield.

Sheba Mkt Cap 3m (PLUS:SHE)
Kefi Mkt Cap 20m
Stratex Mkt Cap 24m
Nyota Mkt Cap 108m


Exploration stage company in the Arabian-Nubian Shield where recent big finds/projects include :-

Centamin Egypt in Egypt
Nyota Minerals in Ethiopia

Other explorers active in the area include :-

Stratex International (along with Sheba and Thani Ashanti) in Ethiopia
Kefi Minerals in Saudi Arabia

Sheba has 3-4 main project/licence areas in Ethiopia

1. Una Deriam - Management have suggested geological similarities with the Centamin Sukari project and Nyota's Tulu Kapi which are potential multi-million oz resources

12km strike length with Initial drilling/sampling/trenching results
"discovery trench, ML3, gave an assay of 40 metres grading 1.3 grams of gold per tonne at surface"
"strong gold anomaly trending for over 1 kilometre.... The peak soil value of over 7300ppb and several others over 1000ppb point to significant bedrock gold mineralization..."
.

2. Finarwa - Management have suggested geological similarities with the Navichab gold mine in Namibia which is a 100k oz p.a. producing mine
"an excellent gold exploration target, given (a) the intensive and widespread gold panning being carried out by local people on the licence area (b) the high incidence of gold anomalies discovered in soil and rock samples (c) the large area (at
least 10 square kilometres) from which anomalies are currently being reported and which could extend further"

3. Winibo - Copper project

4. Shehagne - JV with Stratex Int (STI)

Management outlook comment from last results statement :-

"Una Deriam is set to become an important gold project that may soon feature among
the leading gold projects in the country and within the Arabian-Nubian Shield. New gold mines are
currently being developed in Eritrea and Egypt in analogous terrains to northern Ethiopia and the
exploration industry has at last woken up to the fact.

The Directors are currently talking to various parties interested in the long term potential of our
licences and are confident of acquiring the funding necessary to bring these to fruition"

Bruce Rowan who has interests in a number of mining companies has a stake in SHE and said this recently :-

Bruce Rowan 28 Oct 2010:

"Meanwhile, the Ethiopian mineral, gas and oil sector has been attracting strong foreign interest, with new licences being granted to Chinese State-owned entities and to various other smaller exploration companies, so Sheba appears well placed to
benefit."



Sheba had an RNS recently where they detailed some 1000 ppb gold soil sample findings

just to provide some perspective on the 1000 ppb soil sampling finds

by my reckoning 1000 ppb is equivalent to 1g/tonne ? which is excellent for simple soil sampling as presumably grades will improve significantly with depth

note for example GGP were recently getting excited about 7ppb !

"The pre-mining
inferred resource at Chalice was 3.5 million tonnes at 8.19g/t gold for 922,000
oz gold. Chalice was discovered in 1993 by drill testing below a surface gold
anomaly of only 7ppb gold.

Previous exploration activities at Bromus have been carried out by Resolute Ltd
and Goldfields Exploration between 1994 to 2000. Their surface sampling outlined numerous scattered gold anomalies from 10ppb gold to 97ppb gold near and parallel to the eastern edge of the greenstone belt in the central parts of the current licence. Strike length of this zone is some 8km. Greatland has concluded that in-fill surface sampling and drill testing of these gold anomalies is a high priority."
