SINGIDA PROJECT:
The Singida Project comprises a semi-contiguous package of Prospecting Licences covering 475km²
in area along the eastern portion of the Tanzanian Craton (see Figure 2 below). The Company has
been carrying out systematic soil geochemical sampling since 2011 aimed at discovering an
economic gold deposit.
During the quarter the Company announced significant new gold-in soil geochemical results obtained
during recent exploration work on the Singida Project (see Figure 1 above). Gold Vector Pty Ltd,
whose principal geologist is Ed Baltis, was engaged to carry out a geological and structural review of
the Singida Project.
Figure 2. Singida Project Tenement Plan showing structures & soil geochemistry.
PL 7344/2011 South Garauja:
The review of the regional geological and aeromagnetic data by Ed Baltis has led to a change in the
understanding of the structural geology at Singida.
Reconnaissance soil geochemical sampling along regional NW-SE trending fault structures has
shown wide spaced gold-in soil anomalies over a +2km zone in laterite.
Peak values of between 17 to 63ppb Au have been obtained over 2,000m of strike in thick lateritic
soils developed on sheared, quartz veined Archaean mafic rocks with felsic porphyry and Banded
Iron Formation. Rock chip values of up to 93ppb Au have been obtained from scattered outcrops of
quartz veined mafic schist at South Garauja. A discontinuous halo of +4ppb gold values in laterite
covers an area of 2.5km by 2km and is open to the south: where another extensive low tenor gold-in
soil anomaly extends for +4km orientated NW-SE (see Figure 3 below).
Overall sampling in the South Garauja area now defines a broad low level (+4ppb Au) gold-in soil
anomalous area measuring 4km by 3km. The anomalous area is bounded to the southwest and
northeast by major shear structures. This 12 km² area requires detailed in-fill soil sampling.
No previous work has been documented within the area, and the Company believes it has discovered
a northern extension of the Archaean greenstone belt which hosts the Winston gold anomaly 10km to
the south (see Figures 7 & 8 below).
Figure 3. PL 7344/2011 Gold-in soil anomalies at South Garauja.
Peak values within the soil anomalies range from 17 to 63 ppb Au.
PL 7389/2011 North Garauja:
A large altered gabbro-diorite-felsic porphyry system has been identified 10km to the northeast at
North Garauja. The alteration zone is asociated with an intense regional aeromagnetic anomaly and
prominent WNW-ESE fault zones (see Figure 5 below). The porphyry system was identified during
regional mapping by Tanga field geologists.
Quartz veining, alteration (iron sulphides, epidote, K-spar) and brecciation is associated with dioritic
stocks intruded into hornblende gabbro porphyry over about an of 8km by 5km (see Figure 4 below).
Wide spaced (400m line spacing) soil sampling has commenced at the prospect but no results are to
hand.
Figure 4. Silica-epidote-K-spar alteration zone in felsic quartz porphyry at North Garauja.
PL 9293/2013 (Basotu) & PL 9895/2014 (Dorirojiki):
Recent re-assessment of regional geological and geophysical data has led to a new understanding of
the geological controls to gold mineralisation at Winston (PL 9895/2014) and Wandela (PL
10620/2015): see Figure 5 below.
The previously reported Winston and Wandela gold anomalies are now interpreted to sit on limbs of
major anticlinal fold structures in amphibolite, Banded Iron Formation, and sheared basalt; within a
shear zone corridor trending WNW-ESE. The strong gold-in soil anomaly at Winston sits on the
southern limb of an antiformal structure, the bulk of which is under thick laterite cover. The Wandela &
Babadede gold anomalies further west also sit on or close to major fold noses within a stacked series
of antiforms: see Figure 6 below.
The gold anomalies appear to lie within a 10km long corridor orientated east-west, oblique to the
main structural trend.

Fault structures are shown as white lines.

Tenement Applications:
Two Prospecting Licence applications (HQ-01285 & HQ-01290) totalling 75.98km² in area have been
lodged over ground north and west of the Garauja tenements at Singida.
Future Work: Singida Project
Soil sampling follow up at South Garauja & North Garauja-detailed infill sampling and
geological mapping;
Acquistion and interpretation of detailed aeromagnetic and radiometric data over the whole of
the Singida Project area: Airborne Survey flown on behalf of the World bank and Geological
Survey of Tanzania;
Planning for a Reverse Circulation drilling program at Winston, Babadede & Wandela. Capital
Drilling in Tanzania have been contacted to issue a Drill Contract for 2,500m of angled RC
using a Schramm top-drive drill rig at the Singida Project.
Corporate
Capital Raising
In October 2015, the Company raised $342,500 from a placement to sophisticated investors
through the issue of 17,125,000 Shares at $0.02 per share and 8,562,500 Options, exercisable
at $0.05 each and expiring 30 April 2017.
Funds raised from the placement will be used for exploration activities in Tanzania, and for
general working capital.
