EXECUTIVE SUMMARY<br />

Jacana <strong>Resources</strong> (Jacana) currently has an agreement with African Eagle <strong>Resources</strong> (AFE)<br />

to acquire two existing AFE Prospecting Licences covering two separate projects within<br />

<strong>Mozambique</strong>, both of which have been previously identified as having uranium potential.<br />

Jacana has also entered into an earn-in option agreement with North River <strong>Resources</strong> (NRR)<br />

for a single Prospecting Licence covering the old Mavuzi uranium mine in <strong>Mozambique</strong>. This<br />

report will therefore focus on the relevant Prospecting Licences that make up these three<br />

projects, viz. Mavuzi, Sena and Balama. Jacana and MSA personnel completed site visits to<br />

all of the projects following site visits in 2010 and 2011.<br />

The Mavuzi Project consists of a single Prospecting Licence granted to Omegacorp Lda and<br />

covers an area of 208km 2 . The project area is located to the north of the Zambezi River and<br />

approximately 40km northwest of the regional administrative town of Tete. The area is<br />

primarily underlain by the Upper Proterozoic-aged Tete Igneous Complex: gabbros,<br />

anorthosites and later stage dolerite dykes belonging to the Tete Complex outcrop throughout<br />

the central and northern parts of the project area. The project has had a long history of<br />

uranium development and mining, although records detailing these activities are sketchy.<br />
