Blina Minerals NL conducted another campaign of exploration due diligence during the last quarter of 2018 on the Maintirano Copper Project, a strategic landholding of 1,757 square kilometres in western Madagascar. Blina has a signed Option Agreement with Madacu Resources Pty Ltd. ("Madacu") and is conducting due diligence studies. Fifteen more remote copper occurrences were visited and 59 samples collected and assayed. The chemical analyses received in December 2018 returned high-grade values with one sample registering 37.5% copper and 33ppm silver, and a total of 8 samples registering in excess of 5% copper. High grade samples seem to coincide with steeply dipping veins which contain secondary copper carbonates, chalcocite and cuprite. Samples with more than 15% copper content were collected from 3 different geographical locations over 10km distances away from each other, supporting the theory of a large-scale system. Blina recognises the importance of the veins (containing observed chalcocite and covellite) as excellent target for the planned aerial magnetic survey and is confident to discover a number of additional veins under cover for subsequently envisaged reconnaissance drilling. Blina is optimistic the planned aerial surveys will discover additional vein systems as the Maintirano area has not seen any sophisticated exploration methods applied, all recently visited occurrences were predominantly ‘discovered’ by pastoralist by coincidence, in partly very remote areas. Based on the recent observation it is assumed that the vesicular lower grade occurrences are fed by veins not necessary reaching to the surface but could potentially be located by aerial magnetic methods. Blina is, through the recent observations and results, further encouraged that the copper mineralisation is similar to the structural setting and style of mineralisation as the Keweenaw Copper Province in Michigan, USA where 11 billion pounds of refined copper from ores grading between 1.5% and 3.0% copper was produced over a period of 100 years. The company also announced that it has extended the Due Diligence Period with Madacu Resources Pty Ltd. until 22 February 2019 to allow for outstanding due diligence to be completed to the Company's satisfaction on the local holding company. Blina, as previously announced on 19 November 2019, has entered into a Binding Option Agreement with Madacu Resources Pty Ltd. (Madacu) to explore for copper in Madagascar. The exploration-stage project has in excess of 30 known copper occurrences identified at surface in an un-explored province. Madacu conducted an initial short helicopter-based programme, which was subsequently followed up by a due diligence programme by Blina and the recent programme during the last quarter 2018. This number of visits was required due to the remoteness of some of the areas, requiring, even in dry season conditions, 4x4 vehicles, trail bikes and extensive walking to conduct the programme. In total 59 samples were collected over the permits during the programmes, in addition to the 54 samples collected previously, with recent copper analysis results exceeding 37% copper.
