Regional Geology
5-1 Preliminary Assessment and Exploration Report
The Project area is situated within intrusive and extrusive Tertiary alkaline rocks in contact with Precambrian gneiss and schist. The complex is at the southern terminus in eastern Uganda of a larger series of volcanic centers including the Late Miocene Mineralization occurs within a large circular mass of carbonatite 4km in diameter forming a topographic high up to 250m above the surrounding the plain. The carbonatite is ringed by numerous cone sheets of alkali syenite and fenitized granite gneiss. These are all cut radial faults and dikes. Weathering under moist tropical conditions at 1,200m elevation has resulted in the accumulation of residual soils up to 67m thick filling three large valleys over the carbonatite. These soils have been concentrated with accumulations of weather resistant apatite.
5.2
Local Geology
5.2.1 Local Lithology The carbonatites are generally medium grained and vary in composition from relatively pure white sovites to dark brown, ferriginous carbonatities. Other rock types present include alvikites, apatite, dolomitic-alvikites, beforsite-alvikites and nearly pure apatite with magnetite. Below this complex, the basement rock consists of granite, gneiss and schist. 5.2.2 Local Structure The Project overlies a basement composed of granite, gneiss and schist folded and sheared along a major North-South trending axis. The Sukulu crater is the largest of several volcanic ring structures of the same age and similar character that exist in the eastern region of Uganda. The Sukulu Hills represent the remains of the volcanic center, which resulted in radial and concentric faulting around the core. Radial faulting caused relative uplift or depression of blocks or wedgeshaped sections of the volcano, while concentric faulting depressed blocks and tilted them toward the center. The concentric hills are thought to exhibit a greater resistance to weathering due to their relatively homogenous carbonatite rock type, while the complex mixtures of various rock types surrounding the volcanic core make them more liable to hydration and oxidation, thus forming the eroded highly mineralized Sukulu deposit. The Project overlies a basement composed of granite, gneiss and schist folded and sheared along a major North-South trending axis. The deposit is divided into three low-lying structural zones separated by resistant carbonatite hills (Figure 5-1). The three zones are referred to as the North, South and West Valleys. Figure 5-2 shows a typical distribution of P2O5 within a vertical cross section through the South Valley. All three zones contain similar average assay grades between 14.3% P2O5 in the South Valley and 15.7% P2O5 in the West Valley. The South Valley contains more than half of the overall eroded material, with the remaining material divided relatively equally between the North and West Valleys. Mineralization The Sukulu Hills constitute a core of carbonatite of deep-seated origin. Carbonatite is an intrusive volcanic rock with more than 50% calcium carbonate and typically exhibiting a high magnesium and iron content. The carbonatite is intersected by numerous faults and dykes with SRK Consulting (US), Inc. Sukulu Hills.Preliminary Assessment and Exploration Report.154901.KG.028.doc

inclusions of brecciated igneous material containing magnetite, apatite, quartz, baddeleyite, pyrochlore, zircon, barites and anatase, with traces of copper, gold, and thorium. The thick residual soils that make up the Sukulu deposit formed with leaching of the carbonates and weathering of the various silicate minerals. The resistant minerals have been concentrated to levels four to ten times above those in the original rock. The main constituents in the soil are ferruginous clays, magnetite, hydrated iron oxides and apatite. Apatite is the most common mineral and, on average, makes up over 20% of the soil. Clay, occurring as weathered biotite, iron oxides, and some vermiculite and illite, makes up 20% of the soil. More than 15% of the soil is magnetite, which is often replaced by hematite. Secondary oxides and hydrated oxides of iron are common and goethite and limonite coat and cement rock fragments and other mineral grains forming rounded aggregates. Pyrochlore generally forms less than 5% of the soil and occurs as minute brown, yellow and gray octahedral, cubes, rounded grains, and angular fragments of whole crystals. The niobium content of the pyrochlore averages 67%. Barite is found mainly in the West Valley, and occurs in fine and coarse fractions of the soil as white and light buff-colored crystals. Zircon, baddeleyite, and quartz occur make up several percent of the soil and trace amounts of ilmenite, anatase, feldspar, olivine, vermiculite and gorceixite have also been recognized.

Exploration and Drilling
The Project deposit was drilled by Mackay and Schnellmann Economic Geologists for the TEC in 1952 and 1953. Initially, a Craelius drill operating with water was used to extract the soil. It was, however, impossible to obtain 100% of the soil by this method. The holes were re-drilled using a rotary Portadrill, which pumped compressed air down the center of the rods and blew the displaced material to the surface. Each 5ft run was bagged separately and labeled. The Portadrill provided complete cores and was used for all 11,262m drilled. Nilefos furnished SRK with all drillhole data in hard copies. The drillhole database consisted of drill collar; northing, eastings, elevation, total depth, assay interval and assay results for P2O5. Figure 5-1 is a drillhole location map of the Project deposit.

6-1 Preliminary Assessment and Exploration Report
Mineral Resources
Disclaimer The estimate was prepared using historic drilling data completed by Mackay and Schnellman in the 1950s as well as limited pitting and assaying performed by SRK and its contractors during the course of this study. SRK cautions the reader that the work completed and presented in this report does not conform to generally accepted international resource estimating standards for reporting as prescribed by SME or Canadian CIM. Such estimation guidelines require a standard of drilling, logging, assaying and QA/QC procedures, and/or verification of historical data which were beyond the scope and time constraints of this contract. Nevertheless, SRK is confident that a material phosphate resource can be reasonably delineated through a resource estimate conforming with best practice.
6.1
Resource Estimation
The mineral resource for the Project deposit was estimated using Maptek’s Vulcan software. Table 6.1.1: Model Limits East North Elevation
Minimum 625,154 68,155 1,100
Maximum 630,194 73,285 1,454
The blocks are 45m x 45m in plan and 6m high. Figure 6-1 shows the model limit with the Project drillholes and P2O5 block grades. 6.1.1 Topographic Data The topographic surface used for the resource estimate was generated from drillhole collar elevations using Vulcan triangulation software. This was achieved by referencing the drillhole coordinates in local grid reported in the Mackay and Schnellmann Report to a topographic map with UTM3 World coordinates furnished by Nilefos. Once the appropriate translation was calculated the drillholes coordinates were relocated in UTM3 space and a topographic surface was generated. 6.1.2 Drillhole Database The original drillhole database consisted of hard copy logs containing drill collar; northing, eastings, elevation, total depth, assay interval and assay results for P2O5. The assay file contains P2O5 grades labeled percent raw soil and percent de-slimed soil. The raw soil assay values were used for the resource estimate. The assay intervals are almost uniformly 6m. Appendix A is a listing of the drillholes The holes are all vertical and were not surveyed for downhole deviation, but given the average depth of 19m, there should be very little deviation. All drillholes were included in the statistics analysis and modeling of the deposit. The database contains all historic drilling completed by MacKay and Schnellman using the Portadrill. Statistics for the drillholes are given in Table 6.1.2.

6.1.4 Compositing It is anticipated that the mine plan for the Project deposit will be on 6m benches. The assay database was therefore composited in straight composites corresponding with the assay lengths, which would comprise one assay block height per bench. As the drillhole lengths match the compositing lengths, the statistics for both databases are the same. At a 100% cut-off, the average grade of the straight composites is 13% P2O5. The straight composites were used to define the block model grade shells and for grade estimation. 6.1.5 Specific Gravity The Mackay and Schnellmann study presents data for specific volumes of soil excavated from various test pits and then weighed to generate tonnage factors. The average tonnage factor was calculated to be 22t/ft3 of dry soil. SRK converted this to a dry tonnage density of 1.63t/m3 for the eroded material. This tonnage factor was applied to all material within the grade shell. 6.1.6 Resource Estimation Strategy The primary mineralization lies within three erosion zones that are bound by more resistant hills of carbonatite and basement rock. Grade shells were defined within the soils using a 4% P2O5 composite cut-off and were limited to the maximum borehole depth except where valley depositional structures have been inferred. A unique grade shell was constructed for each erosion valley. Blocks within each grade shell were estimated for P2O5 by using only the composites within the same grade shell.

6.1.7 Grade Estimation The blocks were subdivided into domains dependent on accumulation zones and grade shell boundaries, Figure 6-1 shows drillhole location with block model limits. The blocks in the three accumulation zones were estimated using inverse distance squared. Inverse Distance Estimation inside the Grade Shell The estimation uses a minimum of one composite and a maximum of five composites. A horizontal search distance of 200m and a vertical search distance of 15m. Model Verification As a verification of the model, the block grades were visually compared to the composite grades. There was generally good correlation. A second check was to compare a histogram of the frequency of samples from the assay database with the block model. The cumulative frequencies also showed very close correlation. Figure 6-2 shows a histogram of the cumulative frequency of samples within the assay database. These were compared with a cumulative frequency histogram of the samples used in the triangulation model for resource estimation and were found to be very similar. The average phosphate grade from this study is slightly higher than the earlier MacKay and Schnellman Report. The resource model grade at an assumed (this is not expressly stated in the report) 100% P2O5 cut-off is 13.1% while the SRK model average grade is 14.6% P205 at a 12% cut-off. Using this cut-off, SRK finds the total measured and inferred resources to be 110.2Mt, while MacKay and Schnellmann’s model found 130Mt. Because the modeling parameters used by SRK are very similar to those used by Mackay and Schnellman, the difference probably lies in the composite databases. It is recommended that the two composite databases be compared to see where the differences lie. 6.1.8 Resource Classification The blocks were classified as measured, indicated, or inferred based on the distance to the closest drillhole and the number of drillholes used in the block estimation as follows: Within the grade shell: Measured:
2 drillholes minimum.
Indicated:
1 drillhole minimum, closest composite within 100m.
Inferred:
1 drillhole minimum, closest composite 100m or greater.
6.1.9 Mineral Resource Statement Resources for the Project are presented at varying a 0.0% CoG, ranging from 0% to 20%, in Table 6.1.4. Resources at varying CoG’s are presented in Appendix B. The resource statement calculated differs from that produced by Mackay and Schnellman for a variety of reasons. There are areas that were not completely drilled and with the more rigorous standards which now have to be applied to resource estimation, this material can no longer be included in the inferred resource as it would have been done previously. The reader is reminded that these results do not comply with generally accepted reporting standards. Nevertheless, SRK is confident that a material phosphate resource can be reasonably delineated through a proper resource estimate. SRK Consulting (US), Inc.
