A Bert Applegath company which was initially active in Mexico early in the game in 1991-1993. Presently Kalahari's interests appear to be: 1) diamonds in NWT, 2) Au in the Abitibi Region and 3) Au in Arizona. Interest in Mexico appears to have waned after big area play in central Mexico around the time of the San Nicolas VMS discovery.
Major Player in Zacatecas: Faja de Plata project land grab in response to massive sulfide discovery at San Nicolas. Project manager is Kevin McAndrews. As of August 25, 1998 a total of 12 Geomex concessions covered 3,300,000 acres. Considering time and costs to hold ground Kalajari recently reduced to "hot spots" it has already identified. These were acquired by Kalahari taking control of 100% of the issued shares of Caldera Gold Ltd., a private company which held the Geomex Group. Multiple geophysical targets are included in the package. Regional compilation of geophysics, TM imagery and geochem and other data underway. Kalahari's gravity database consists of over 55,000 readings. Kalajari have also JV'ed other real estate with a variety of partners including Global Mineral & Chemical Ltd., Thunderbird Projects Ltd., Sunstate Resources Ltd., Augusta Gold Corp., Western Copper Holdings, Goldwater Resources, Consolidated Sarabat Gold Corp. to name a few. Various of these JV's have since been terminated (see details below).
