Hey Guys , I've rehashed one of my old post as best I can ! Its been such a long wait now , I kind of forgot how big VEC could be. And to be honest , I kind of forgot we had nine leases on the go
MANIEMA GOLD PROJECT
The Licenses contain five main prospects; Kabotshome, Mbutu, Mitunda, Mbala and Tubambo
The Project comprises seven granted exploitation licences: PR4792, PR4801, PR4803, PR4804, PR4805, PR4806 and PR4812 and which cover an area of over 500km2
The Kabotshome Project is the most advanced. Below Picture

First results from drilling program are now overdue !
The Kibali South Gold Project
Existing inferred mineral resource of 28.1Mt at 1.63g/t gold for 1.47Mozs, quoted under the SAMREC code.
The Kibali South Gold Project is situated on two permit areas, Mining License PE13176 and Mining License PE11467, and is located immediately adjacent to the Kibali Gold Mine. It is surrounded by 10 Mining Licenses, that cover an area of 1,836km² and which are held by Kibali Goldmines, a joint venture between Randgold Resources Limited (“Randgold”)(45%), AngloGold Ashanti (“Anglo”)(45%) and SOKIMO (10%).
The Kibali Gold Mine has total proved and probable reserves of 9.2Mozs and additional total resources of 17.4Mozs
Kibali Gold Mine, which is Africa’s largest gold mining operation
The Nizi Gold Project
Nizi Gold Project comprises several identified gold prospects including the Baluma Gold Oxide Project and King Leopold Gold Mine
Historical production of up to 1.45Mozs of gold reported to have been produced from the King Leopold Gold Mine during the 1900’s at grades reported to be approximately 30g/t

King Leopold Gold Mine
Historical records of production from the area are considered unreliable,
however the existence of approx. 1.5Mt of gold tailings on the licenses, the Tarada Tailings, (which are currently the subject of retreatment and have been surveyed, drilled and assayed by SOKIMO) and ad hoc production reports of material being treated with approx. 30g/t head grade indicate production of up to 1.45Mozs may have been extracted during the period of operation of the King Leopold Gold Mine. ( Very important project in my opinion , if we get high grades in the tailings $$$ instant cash )
The Baluma Gold Oxide Project
The Baluma Gold Oxide Project, has been partially defined by SOKIMO through two SOKIMO auger and RAB drilling programs.
The Exploration Target for the Baluma Gold Oxide Project is 8.0 Mt to 10.5 Mt at a grade range of 0.8g/t to 3.1g/t for 206,000 oz to 1,047,000 oz (“Exploration Target”).

ADVANCED WORLD-CLASS MULTI-MILLION OUNCE ADIDI-KANGA GOLD MINE
The Adidi-Kanga Mine has an existing indicated and inferred mineral resource of 11.9Mt at 7.65g/t gold for 2.9 million ounces, quoted under the SAMREC code. 3.2 Million Ounce JORC 2012
:Verification process has resulted in an upgrade in the Mineral Resource Estimate to
15.0Mt @ 6.6g/t Au for 3.2Moz of contained gold, reported in line with JORC 2012
guidelines
:Updated JORC (2012) Mineral Resource Estimate includes 46% in indicated category
for 6.9Mt at 6.74g/t Au for 1.5Moz and 8.1Mt at 6.6g/t Au for 1.7Moz in inferred
category

Ok I think thats it Lol , in short I think we now have 9 Gold Prospects /Leases
MANIEMA GOLD PROJECT , 5 leases , Infill Drilling
ADIDI-KANGA GOLD MINE
Kibali South Gold Project
Nizi Gold Project , 2 leases
Due Diligence has been completed on all projects to the satisfaction of the company . But final signed documentation is well over Due !

Ok , sorry about the long post , I tried my best to be accurate
VEC has so much to offer , we could easily become one of the biggest Gold plays of the decade if all goes to plan!
