Deep-South will Complete a 43-101 Resource Estimation of Haib Copper and will Proceed with a Private Placement
Vancouver, September 6, 2017 - Deep-South Resources Inc. ("DeepSouth" or "the Company") (TSX-V: DSM) announces a corporate update. Haib Copper project, Namibia:
Since the closing of the acquisition of a 100% interest in the Haib Copper project in Namibia, the Company has completed a full revision of all the data available on the project. Further to this revision, the Company has hired P&E Walker Consultancy and Obsidian Consulting Services of South Africa to undertake a resource estimation report in compliance with the National Instrument 43-101.
The Haib project is a large copper-molybdenum porphyry deposit located in the Karas region of southern Namibia, 8 km from the Orange River and the South African border.
| Cut-off (%Cu) | GFM Model (Kriging method) | |
| Million Tonnes | Grade % Cu | |
| 0.1 | 1353 | 0.23 |
| 0.2 | 739 | 0.29 |
| 0.3 | 244 | 0.37 |
The deposit, discovered in the 1950's, has seen over 50,000 metres of drilling in the 1970's by companies such as Rio Tinto and Falconbridge Ltd. A report from Behre Dolbear, completed in 1996, estimated the Historical Estimates at Haib as follows:
Since 2010, Teck Namibia (a subsidiary of Teck Resources Ltd.) has completed over 14,000 metres of core drilling with results such as: 121 m @ 0.5% Cu, 494 m @ 0.36% Cu and 30 m @ 0.81% Cu. This drilling data was not included in the Historical Estimate. In order to comply with the National Instrument 43-101 rule and regulation, the new 43-101 resource estimate will incorporate the historical data and the results from the drilling completed by Teck and results from the re-assaying of many drill cores from Rio Tinto drilling programs. Further details are available on our corporate presentation at : https://www.deepsouthresources.com
The estimates of tonnages and grades quoted in this report were prepared prior to publication of National Instrument 43-101 in 2001 and are considered as Historical Estimates. The historical grades and resources terminology from the original historical reports are to be used only as a reference and should not be considered as a current mineral resource under NI 43-101 but are to be considered as Historical Estimates as per the NI 43-101 Rules and Policies.
No qualified person has done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources and Deep-South is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.
P & E Walker Consultancy has prepared a technical review of all the historical data and reports. This NI 43-101 qualification report can be consulted on Sedar at www.sedar.com or on our web site at: https://www.deepsouthresources.com/wp-content/uploads/Haib_NI43-101_May-2016_FINAL.pdf.
Peter Walker B.Sc. (Hons.) MBA Pr.Sci.Nat. is the author of the 43-101 qualifying report and is responsible for the technical part of this press release, and is the designated Qualified Person under the terms of National Instrument 43-101.
