Current Drilling Activities in Tanzania

The Company is currently using two drill rigs (one reverse circulation (RC) and one Diamond drill rig) to drill test ten different targets on its SMP gold project in Tanzania.

Diamond drilling is ongoing at the 2km-long Kenge target (see news release dated May 23, 2007), where recent drilling has intersected up to 21.95m grading 6.9g/t gold. Through the summer, the Company has completed 14 Diamond drill holes and 20 reverse circulation holes at Kenge together with 6 Diamond drill holes at the Snakebite target. Diamond drill results are expected in the next two weeks, and the RC results should be available in early October. The Diamond drill rig is currently infilling drilling at the Kenge target, and it is anticipated that the whole 2,000m strike extent of the Kenge target will be tested with a drill hole every 50m by the end of September.

Reconnaissance RC drilling has been completed at the Cheche East (8 holes) Snakebite West (8 holes), Mbenge (26 holes), and Kipanga (15 holes) targets, which are located along a 5km section of the Saza Shear Zone. The Company expects to be in receipt of results from this drilling through September and into early October.

The RC drill rig will also be used to test the Konokono, Porcupine, Gap, Panya, and Kwaheri targets. This current round of drilling is anticipated to be completed in November, 2007.
