Arcadia Minerals Ltd. announce that it instructed Hammerstein Mining and Drilling to execute a 526m RC drilling program for 9 drill holes at the Karibib Copper-Gold Project in Namibia. The drilling program is expected to consist of 9 drill holes drilled at a 60 degree inclination and at varied azimuths and depths dependent on the inferred geometry and geology of the targeted zone. Dependant on whether visual mineralisation is encountered in drill holes, an additional 3 holes will be drilled.

On the 7th of September 2021 the Company announced2 results from a grab sampling program over an inferred 20 km x 2 km metasedimentary structural feature. This structure contains similar geology than that encountered at the nearby Navachab Mine (5.3MozAu)3 and by various other explorers for gold mineralisation in the area, such as Osino Resources who developed its Twin Hills prospect4 (located 45km also within the Karibib gold belt) to contain a Mineral Resource of 2.1MozAu. Results attained from the grab sampling program at Karibib were impressive, and were taken from lithology identified as either Skarn-type or Vein-type mineralisation: Skarn-type mineralisation returned average copper mineralisation of 4.32 % Cu, with a highest value of 28.40% Cu.

Average gold values of 1.49 g/t Au were returned, with a highest value of 7.65 g/t Au. Significant Silver mineralisation was also encountered (av. 50.50 g/t Ag with highest 453 g/t Ag) and up to 1% Tungsten.

Vein-type mineralisation returned average results of 1.94% Cu (highest 5.69% Cu), 2.06 g/t Au (highest 26.30 g/t Au) and 12.68 g/t Ag (highest 30.10 g/t Ag). Both vein- and skarn-type mineralisation is known to contain economic mineralisation in the area5, and were encountered on or near the contact margins of large diorite intrusions. Following the receipt of the high-grade sampling results and newly attained knowledge of the geology of the area, the Company conducted follow-up work by identifying locally occurring favorable geological settings which are likely to host diorite-proximal skarn- and vein-type mineralisation suitable for drilling.

Consequently, extensive mapping was conducted over Gamikaub, which area represents only 1,5km of the identified structural zone. It was discovered that the targeted zone at Gamikaub consists of three parallel main structures trending in a north-north-easterly direction and dipping between 40-60 degrees. From this work and with the information gleaned from the grab sampling program, several drill targets were identified to test various lithologies and associated mineralisation.

It is anticipated that drill holes are to intersect the following lithologies and mineralisation: dolomitic marble, varied granitic intrusions containing endo-skarn alteration of Copper, schists with possible gold mineralisation in cross-cutting quartz veins, alternating calc-silicate and marble units, which makes up the main structure with quartz veins cross-cutting the main foliation and which is known to contain gold mineralisation. In addition, exoskarn alteration with Copper, Silver and Tungsten mineralisation. Lastly, a highly stressed calc-silicate zone within the alternating zone is expected to contain similar mineralisation, but at higher grades.

Drill target zones selected exhibited similar skarn alterations and numerous granitic domes and dikes as is found at the Navachab mine. Highly strained calc-silicates and marble-calc- silicates (known as the "MC-unit" at Navachab) bands are the primary target lithologies with quartz vein bearing schists and endoskarn granites making up secondary target lithologies.
