Non-Invasive Activities Ground and/or airborne magnetic survey over prospecting area. The area will be flown with an airborne gradient magnetic survey in conjunction with other adjacent prospecting rights applied for. If the survey area is too small for a cost effective airborne survey then ground magnetics will be carried out on parallel lines spaced at 100m across the prospecting area. Minimal disturbance of vegetation and wildlife is envisaged Target-specific ground geophysics (magnetics, electromagnetics and gravity). This will entail detailed ground geophysical surveys being carried out using hand held equipment on parallel lines spaced at an appropriate interval based on the dimensions of the target being investigated. Minimal disturbance of vegetation and wildlife is envisaged Target specific loam sampling. Soil samples of up to 200 litres in volume will be taken in the topmost soil layer (up to 20cm deep) and sieved on site to remove very fine (<425 micron) material. Minimal disturbance of vegetation and wildlife is envisaged. Invasive Activities Scout and delineation drilling. If carried out, drilling may necessitate the establishment of access tracks and minor bush clearing for establishment of drill pads. The need for drilling can only be established once phase 1 and 2 of the Prospecting Works Program have been completed. The farm portions over which the application was applied for is currently utilized for grazing for cattle access to the farm is gained by an existing farm road. Only a small portion of the grazing land will be impacted on (± 1 ha at any given time which represents the footprints of all activities on the farm combined) the rest of the areas can proceed normally. The area applied for is over the entire portions but the main prospecting focus area will be on the grazing land as. After prospecting the land will be utilized for grazing again. The prospecting method of drilling is the only economic viable method currently being used by the diamond fraternity; it is also the only cost effective method. An application for a bulk sample can also be done but it is not cost effective if drilling did not prove a reserve to bulk sample. There is no alternative prospecting method. A Prospecting Right application was lodged and accepted by the Department of Mineral Resources to do drilling whereby the presence of a resource will be determined.
