Properties
Chapleau

On November 23, 2005 the Company announced the acquisition of 6,523 acres of prospective kimberlite ground in the Chapleau area of Ontario. Kalahari will pay for staking or leasing costs to earn a fifty (50%) percent working interest in the property. Recent staking has covered numerous zones with kimberlitic indicator minerals in sediments and till samples, and a series of circular airborne magnetic anomalies on strike with the discovery ground. The Company will further explore these anomalies and their magnetic pipe-like features.


This acquisition follows a six month in-house compilation programme by Chalice Diamond Corp. followed by field work to explore for diamonds in Ontario. Compilation of geological, geochemical, geophysical, assessment file and other data held or prepared by the Ministry of Northern Development of Mines, Ontario Geological Survey, Natural Resources Canada and the Geological Survey of Canada led to the discovery.


Exploration work in the area by joint venture partner, Chalice Diamond Corp (prior Golden Chalice Resources Inc.)., has confirmed the presence of a kimberlite dyke. Historical data from government assessment files refer to a thin section analysis which indicates the discovery dyke is indeed kimberlitic. The Company has sent rock, till and la ke sediment samples for further analysis to determine the presence of diamonds in the area, particularly in light of government assessment files which indicate a macro diamond was recovered from the discovery ground.
