TANGO ANNOUNCES RENEWAL OF MIDDLEPITS PROJECT PERMITS
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA — 18 October 2018 – Tango Mining Limited (“Tango” or the “Company”)
(TSXV:TGV) is pleased to announce that Metswedi Mining (Pty) Ltd. (“Metswedi”) has received the first
renewal for both Prospecting License No. 101/2015 (430 km2) and No. 058/2015 (2.3 km2) which make up the
Middlepits Project (the “Property”). The Property is located 470 kilometers (km) south west of Gaborone and
90 km south west of Tshabong in the Kgalagadi District, Republic of Botswana.
Tango will acquire a 75% unencumbered interest in the Property from Metswedi and is responsible for all
further exploration and development expenditures on the Property. The Property was renewed for a period of
two years commencing on 1 October 2018 and ending on 30 September 2020.
Middlepits Project, Botswana
The Property was explored between 1974 and 1976 by De Beers, between 1978 and 1980 by Falconbridge and
between 1993 and 1997 by Southern Africa Minerals Corporation. The work resulted in the identification of a
100 square km area of gravels containing diamonds and heavy mineral concentrations, mainly garnets and
ilmenites. The Property also hosts a kimberlite, called Kolonkwaneng. The Kolonkwaneng kimberlite, was
identified by De Beers in 1977 and more recent airborne geophysics suggests it is elliptical in shape and is 127
metres (“m”) by 226 m in diameter. Bulk sampling work by De Beers recovered micro diamonds and heavy
minerals that indicate the kimberlite is diamondiferous. Please see the news releases dated 21 December
2017 and 7 March 2018 and the Tango website for further detailed Property information.
