Projects

The Nagasa Prospect is one of the priority targets developed from the regional BLEG (Bulk Leach Extractable Gold) stream sediment and airborne geophysical surveys, and is located on the southern limb of a regional structure called the Imva Fold (Figure 1). Nagasa is underlain by a sequence of chlorite schists with several bands of steeply-dipping banded ironstone formation (BIF). Artisanal workings are common, the miners mainly exploiting auriferous colluvium below a barren cover of transported soil. These workings indicate potential exists for mineralization over a strike of 3 -- 4 km.

As announced previously in the Company's press release of April 23, 2013, Induced Polarization (IP) geophysical surveys were conducted over an initial 2 km x 2 km block at Nagasa, and three well-defined anomalies were delineated. Additional IP surveys were subsequently carried out to the east and west to determine the strike potential of the anomalies. The southernmost Anomaly (Anomaly 1) has a strike length of at least 6 km, and is associated with the zone of colluvial workings mentioned above, and with localized remnants of colonial mining activity. Pole-Dipole IP arrays were also undertaken to produce pseudo cross sections which indicated that the higher chargeability anomalies were located at depth. Anomalous rock chips samples are also present (Figure 2). Two diamond drill holes, with a strike separation of 2,800 metres, were drilled to test Anomaly 1. IP Anomaly 2 was defined over a 2.9 km strike and located 500 metres north of, and parallel to Anomaly 1. Two wide spaced holes, 500 metres apart, were drilled into Anomaly 2. Again the higher chargeability anomalies from the Pole-Dipole sections appeared to prominent at depth and did not come to surface. One core hole was also drilled into the delineated 1.6 km IP Anomaly 3, which is located about 1 km north of Anomaly 2, and occurs on a topographic high associated with the main BIF unit. Four other shallower diamond drill holes have also been completed by the Company at Nagasa.

Details of the 9 drill holes completed at Nagasa to date are shown in Table 1. The most significant intersections are in NNDD002, NNDD004 and NNDD007, which were all drilled on Anomaly 1. The values occur within a zone of hydrothermal alteration (dolomite + silica +/- chlorite + pyrite +/- pyrrhotite) in the vicinity of BIF unit 4 (Figure 2). Although the IP data indicates that the Anomaly 1 alteration package has a strike of over 6 km, it appears that the gold mineralization indicated by the artisanal/colonial workings, rock chip sampling data and drilling, is irregularly distributed and possibly occurs as plunging shoots. Further closer spaced drilling is required to delineate areas within the altered package with potentially economic gold grades and widths.

Drill hole assays are uncut. True thicknesses are estimated to be approximately 87% of intersected drill widths.

The Mondarabe Prospect is situated on the Imva Fold, to the west of Nagasa (Figure 1), and was identified as a high priority target by the regional BLEG survey. Soil and rock chip sampling delineated two anomalous areas, as described in the Company's press release of June 14, 2012 and shown in Figure 3.

Five diamond drill holes have been completed on the northern anomaly where gold mineralization is associated mainly with foliation-parallel quartz veins and veinlets within a series of metapelites, intruded by sills of dolerite and minor quartz porphyry. Shearing has preferentially affected the dolerite, and hydrothermal fluids have mineralized the shear zones to varying degrees. The most significant mineralized intersections are shown in Table 2 and in Figure 4 and included 10.46 metres grading 2.01 g/t Au, 2.14 metres grading 31.1 g/t Au and 0.66 metres grading 148 g/t Au.

Two drill holes were completed on the southern soil anomaly, which is associated with folded BIF (Figure 3). Both holes intersected significant widths of BIF, with individual units of up to 96 metres, interbedded with sericite schist. The BIF is locally quartz-veined and pyritized, the sulphide occurring as disseminated crystals, massive bands and patches. Despite the fairly widespread hydrothermal alteration, the mineralized zones are relatively narrow, the best intersections in holes 6 and 7 being 3.23 metres grading 3.78 g/t Au and 1.23 metres @ 9.46 g/t Au respectively.

Drill hole assays are uncut. True thicknesses are estimated to be approximately 76% of intersected drill widths.

IP surveys are currently in progress at the Matete and Anguluku prospects (Figure 1) where the surface expression of mineralization may be masked by the presence of transported overburden. Both prospects were identified as high priority BLEG targets, and the airborne magnetic data indicates that the areas currently being covered by IP are underlain by structurally favourable (folded and faulted) BIF. At both prospects, 4 sq km will initially be covered by gradient array IP, followed by selected lines of pole-dipole to provide sectional data for drill targeting.

In terms of the Makapela P.E.A. (Preliminary Economic Assessment), due to the sharply lower gold price, it has been decided not to incur any further expenditure on the study until the gold market improves.

"Much more drilling and further groundwork is required to adequately test our targets on our large landholdings at Ngayu," commented Loncor's President and CEO, Peter Cowley. "However, the recent sharp decrease in the gold price and its marked affect, especially on the junior gold exploration sector, has necessitated that we reduce our exploration effort and overhead costs until market conditions improve."

Drill cores for assaying were taken at a maximum of one metre intervals and were cut with a diamond saw with one-half of the core placed in sealed bags by Company geologists and sent to the SGS Laboratory (which is independent of the Company) in Mwanza, Tanzania. The core samples were then crushed down to minus 2 mm, and split with one half of the sample pulverized down to 90% passing 75 microns. Gold analyses were carried out on 50g aliquots by fire assay. Internationally recognized standards and blanks were inserted as part of the Company's internal QA/QC analytical procedures.
