Vector Resources Limited provide an update on the diamond drilling program currently underway at the Kabotshome Gold Prospect at its Maniema Gold Project in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Drilling activities at the Kabotshome Gold Prospect, located on Mining Licenses 4804 commenced in the December 2017 quarter following the execution of a diamond drilling contract with African Drilling Limited ("ADL"), the preparation of the drill pads and associated work, and ADL's mobilisation to site. The diamond drilling program is part of an initial 4,000 metre program, with the first 6 holes aimed at infill and extensional drilling at Kabotshome Gold Prospect. Testing of the extensions to the previously identified gold mineralisation at depth to the north and south of the Kabotshome Gold Prospect is targeting the twin thick high-grade gold mineralisation intersected in the previous deepest diamond hole drilled to date at the Kabotshome Gold Prospect - KBD07. This hole reported grade intercepts of 20.25m at 2.5g/t (from 319m) including 8m at 4.03g/t and 21.7m at 3.58g/t (from 354m) including 5.7m at 8.74g/t. This hole ended in mineralisation leaving the true width of mineralisation untested. Two new diamond holes, KBDD001A and KBDD002 have now been completed to test the depth and width extensions of the gold mineralisation to the south and north respectively. Drilling of the third diamond hole, KBDD003 is underway and is a southern infill hole to further improve confidence in the deeper inferred gold mineralisation at Kabotshome. As at 29 April 2018, 1,025 metres have been drilled. The first hole, KBDD001A has been completed to 333m, and was extended by an additional 53m from the original planned drill length of 280m. The second hole, KBDD002 was completed to 348m, compared to an initial drill length of only 280m. KBDD002 was completed in early April 2018. KBDD001A intersected zones containing quartz veining, silica alteration and sulphide mineralisation which are considered by Vector's geologists to be consistent with the style of the mineralisation previously identified, sampled and assayed from the diamond drilling completed in 2012. There has been minor visible gold identified in the core logging consistent with expectations regarding the fine gold found previously at Kabotshome. This is expected to be confirmed from the assay results from the samples being transported to South Africa. KBDD001A intersected sulphide-rich quartz veins in the previously referenced Main Mineralised Zone (upper ore body) which comprises coarse grained strongly silicified brecciated unit associated with moderate disseminated, blebby sulphides and stockwork veins (pyrite 5% to 15%; arsenopyrite: 0.5% to 2% and trace chalcopyrite with quartz veining 0.5cm to 3cm thick), and the presence of moderate albite alteration and slightly carbonated-chlorite alteration with the presence trace of jasperoid clast and minor magnetite. This reflects previously logged characteristics in holes at the Kabotshome Gold Prospect where two styles of mineralisation have been identified during core logging. Both are associated with intense silica, carbonate, albite and chlorite alteration. The first comprises brecciated, ferruginous quartz veining < 10cm up to 20m wide containing < 1% sulphides (pyrite, arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite) typical of quartz-vein hosted gold mineralisation.
