- Mwana interest:
- Mwana Africa has a 50% interest in the dormant Maligreen Gold Mine. The interest was acquired through the purchase of Cluff Mining in December 2005. Pan African (Private) Limited, a Zimbabwe registered company, holds the other 50% and manages the property.
- Geology and history:
- Located in the Nkayi-Silobela Greenstone Belt, the mine produced 22,500oz of gold by heap-leaching 213,000t of weathered ore from August 2000 to September 2002.
- Irrigation of the dumps continued to August 2004 with some minor gold recovery. An extensive drilling campaign was conducted to evaluate the deposit and the sulphide indicated resource, which is open in depth and to the north. An indicated resource of 371,000 ounces at a cut-off grade of 1 gram per tonne was defined by Cluff Mining.
