Mount Burgess Mining N.L. has completed a further review of Ga assay results from the Kihabe Deposit, in light of recent significant price increases in Gallium (Ga) from $250/kg in 2017 to $615/kg currently (Kitco Strategic Metals). Assaying for Ga has only ever been conducted on seven holes drilled in the October/November 2017 drilling
campaign that targeted the Kihabe Deposit upper oxide zone. All seven holes have been shown to contain significant intersections of Ga, alongside intersections of Zn, Pb, Ag, V and Germanium (Ge). All assay results from Zn, Pb, Ag, V and Ge have previously been reported. The Ga results now being reported because of the recent significant price increase of Ga, show that they could represent a significant credit for the Kihabe Deposit. As can be seen, in drill hole KDD201, continuous Ga mineralisation occurs over a 60 degree inclined down hole intersection of 91m. The Kihabe Deposit is 7km west of the Nxuu Deposit. The University of Tasmania is currently conducting mineralogical test work on Kihabe Deposit drill core samples to determine the host minerals for both Ga and Ge. Once determined, further metallurgical test-work will be conducted to ascertain the recoverability of Ga and Ge on site. Ga has many modern applications, such as: Electronics, semiconductors, transistors, mobile phones; Pressure sensors for touch switches; Converting electricity into light via Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs); and Blue Ray Technology. Ga is also used as an alloy with most metals, particularly low temperature melting alloys, as it has a high boiling point.
