Base Metals - Erongo, Namibia

Magna became active in Namibia in mid 1999 and acquired 7 Exclusive Prospecting Licences (EPL) in the Erongo region. Magna has recently had four of these EPLs extended to June 2009. The Erongo region was targeted due to the presence of wide spread mineralisation, the vast scale of geological structures, and the close proximity to world class mines such as the world's largest hard rock tin mine (Uis) and the huge Navachab Gold Mine. Also located along the same geological corridor is the famous Tsumeb Copper Mine.

Geological evaluations have identified four (4) different styles of gold mineralisation along strike from, and on parallel structures to, the Navachab gold resource located adjacent to the tenements. These gold occurrences will be the target of further exploration along with associated copper in many cases.

Also within Magna's Erongo project area is known tantalite mineralisation that extends over a 50 kilometre length of the Sanamap-Erongo pegmatite belt. Exploration and evaluation of the known tantalite deposits is currently on hold while the Company focuses it's efforts on the gold and copper potential of the region.

The following table summarises known mineralised prospects in the Erongo project:

Graphite 13,750,000 tonne resource grading 4.52% C as graphite
Rare Earths A 400 metre long mineralised zone of up to 20 metres width containing up to 24.5% monazite (Lanthanum, cerium, neodymium oxide)
Tungsten The old Krantzberg Tungsten Mine which produced 1,000,000 tonnes of high grade tungsten ore. Unmined extensions of the ore and new zones of mineralisation are objectives of future exploration.
Gold Shears, veins, and gossans possibly contain gold, and these will be evaluated in upcoming field work.
Tin/Tantalite Rare metal pegmatites containing up to 4,200 g/t Ta2O5
Semi-precious Gemstones All shades of Tourmaline, Aquamarine, Demantoid garnet, and Topaz can all be found within the Erongo project area.
