IMX Resources, listed on the ASX and TSX,
reports that a regional exploration pro-
gramme at its Nachingwea property in south-

its flagship Ntaka Hill nickel sulphide project,
IMX holds approximately 6 320 km

of sur-
rounding tenements in the highly prospective
Nachingwea district.
The 2013 regional exploration programme
is expected to operate for the full period of
the Ntaka Hill field season (May to Decem-
ber) and is supported by a dedicated team
that plans to utilise a multi-disciplinary ap-
proach, integrating geophysics, geochemis-
try and geological information, to assess all
previous targets and systematically test the
best targets.
During the 2013 field season, IMX will fo-
cus on following up regional targets involv-
ing analysis of satellite imagery to identify
outcrop, a review of existing VTEM anomalies
identified during 2012, extensive regional soil
sampling and potentially following up on the
most prospective targets with drilling late in
the season.

The first FLSmidth Supercenter on the African
continent – and the seventh of its kind world-
wide – officially opened earlier this month
(June) in Delmas, Mpumalanga. Essentially
an extensive aftermarket hub, the new facil-
ity houses a concentrated stockholding and
is poised to become the South African con-
struction base service and repair facility for
all FLSmidth activities.
“In other parts of the world FLSmidth
all-in-one Supercenters are established to
realise our vision of getting closer to our
customers,” says Stephan Kruger, General
Manager, FLSmidth Supercenter. “These
Supercenters are strategically located near
customer operations to provide localised
services that ensure timely delivery and sup-
port. Through these state-of-the-art facili-
ties, our customer working relationships are
expanded and services are tailored to meet
their needs.
“The Delmas Supercenter is geared not only
to offer warehousing, rebuild and repair capa-
bilities, but also specifically to support plant
efficiency and safety. The facility works along-

“FLSmidth leads the way in minerals pro-
cessing, material handling and cement tech-
nologies and the Supercenter concept has
been introduced to strengthen our commit-

Supercenter is more than just an innovative
building design – it’s a partnership with our
customers and with the local community.”
Kruger adds that establishment of this
dynamic new facility effectively enhances
FLSmidth’s local presence and underpins the
company’s commitment to fostering customer
intimacy by supporting customers through the
life cycle of FLSmidth equipment in the field.
The Delmas Supercenter comprises a

the regional prospectivity has been demon-
strated. Intersections of up to 2,71 g/t Au and
multiple intersections of anomalous base
metals have previously been reported from
the gossan discovered at the HOG prospect
as well as a grab sample that returned up to
4,96 g/t Au. The HOG gossan is over 1 km in
length and between 25 and 180 m wide and is
located 21 km north-east of Ntaka Hill.
At the Chilalo prospect, located 23 km
north-east of Ntaka Hill, IMX has previously
reported copper mineralisation over a 1 km
strike with up to 0,4 m at 5,27 % Cu, 15,05 g/t
Ag and 0,41 % Zn.
