Out-of-favour Savannah Resources (SAV) says historical data from Block 4 of the Semail Ophiolite Belt in Oman indicate high-grade copper mineralisation below previous workings at Block 4’s Aarja pit, while trenching by the company suggests the pit could be expanded to the south. The company, whose AIM-quoted shares have fallen from a 6p 12-month high to 2.03p in a sagging commodity market, reports collating historic data from the copper and gold project, which was mined in the 1980s, has revealed some impressive results, including 15.58 metres with 4.7% copper in the AarjaMain deposit, 5.05 metres with 8.49% copper in the Dog’s Bone deposit and 9.8 metres with 3.86% copper at Aarja South.

Shares in hitherto unloved Savannah Resources (SAV) have bounced strongly now that the AIM-quoted minnow has clinched a mineral sands joint venture with mining giant Rio Tinto in Mozambique. If all goes well, David Archer, Savannah’s chief executive officer, suggests the combined project could eventually be producing ilmenite at the rate of more than 600,000 tonnes a year for a decade at least.
Unfortunately there were some technical issues with this morning’s bullish conference call from Savannah Resources (SAV). Fortunately, I was listening so am able to provide an update. CEO David Archer was in ebullient mood and there is little wonder why. This morning, Savannah surprised the market with news of an exciting joint venture in Mozambique with none other than mining behemoth Rio Tinto (RIO). The joyous response has seen the company’s share price rocket to 3.68p, up 77% on the day. This values the business at £8.37million and the ever-impressive Archer suggested there is more to come in a “very active year ahead”.
John Meyer of SP Angel this morning comments on Aureus Mining, Bacanora Minerals, Beowulf Mining, Savannah Resources and Sierra Rutile as well as offering a detailed macro view on the news that is shaping global mining and the AIM mining pond.
David Archer, chief executive officer and 10% shareholder of unloved Savannah Resources (SAV), is keenly awaiting detailed results of airborne electromagnetic surveying of part of the company’s potentially high-grade copper and gold prospects in the Gulf sultanate of Oman. AIM-quoted Savannah, whose shares have fallen during the past 12 months from a high of 6.13p to 1.95p, says it expects results from this VTEM (Virtual Time Domain Electromagnetic) survey later this month and will use the data to identify copper anomalies and drill targets in Block 4 of its prospects in the region’s historically copper-rich Semail Ophiolite (oceanic) belt, as part of its drive to become ‘a mid-sized producer in late 2017’.
David Archer, boss of unloved Savannah Resources (SAV), says it could split off its heavy mineral sands operations in Mozambique after finding ‘encouraging’ gold and copper mineralisation in the Gulf sultanate of Oman. The AIM-quoted company, whose shares have tumbled from a 12-month high of 8.25p to 1.85p now, says reconnaissance mapping and rock chip sampling have identified gold and copper in Block 4 of Oman’s Semail ophiolitic (oceanic crust) belt, including one sample with 3.7 grammes of gold per tonne of ore and copper at a high grade of 5.7%.
Out-of-favour Savannah Resources (SAV) says there is scope for further exploration at its southern African Jangamo heavy mineral sands project in Mozambique after declaring a maiden resource there of 65 million tonnes in the relatively tentative ‘inferred’ category with 4.2% total heavy minerals. Based in London and quoted on AIM, the company holds 80% of the company operating the Jangamo project, which is next to mining giant Rio Tinto’s major Mutamba deposit, and, says chief executive officer David Archer, ‘will now look to assess a number of promising commercial and strategic options’ for the project.
