Tanzanian Royalty Reports Higher Gold Grades at Depth Including 11 metres @ 9.20 g/t
The Company is pleased to announce the receipt of more positive assay
results from its ongoing diamond drilling program at the Buckreef Gold
Project in Tanzania, confirming continuity of the higher-grade gold
mineralization at depth.
According to Joseph K. Kahama, Chairman and Chief Operating Officer
(Tanzania), 'These higher grade zones can add considerable value to the
project economics and increase the potential to add to our future growth
profile?. He went on to say that 'drilling to date on the deeper
Buckreef extensions has validated the geological interpretation and that
the current drilling program is progressing well?.
Recent drilling highlights include:
BMDD134 encountered an intercept of 2.0 metres grading 9.61g/t gold
from 52 metres which included 1.0 metres grading 18.1g/t gold.
BMDD135 encountered an intercept of 19.0 metres grading 1.36g/t gold
from 171 metres which included 7.0 metres averaging 2.07g/t gold from
174 metres, 5 metres grading 2.21g/t gold from 230 metres which
include 1 metres averaging 4.75g/t gold.
BMDD136 encountered an intercept of 6.0 metres grading 1.23g/t gold
from 143 metres.
BMDD137 intersected 11 metres grading 9.20g/t gold from 194 metres
which includes 5 metres averaging 17.57g/t gold.
All holes are estimated to be 50-60% of true widths.
The gold mineralization occurs within sheared mafic rocks with strong
quartz-carbonate-pyrite alteration which is the main control of high
grade gold mineralization.
Sample Protocol and QA/QC
The samples chain of custody is managed by Buckreef technical team under
the supervision of Anthony Minde. Core samples are picked up from the
drill site at the end of every shift by Company personnel for direct
delivery to the secured drill core storage house locate next to the
Buckreef exploration office. The storage is accessible only by approved
personnel.
Intervals of core to be analyzed are split with a mechanized core cutter
in half with one half to be sent to the laboratory for geochemical
analysis and the remaining half to be kept in the storage for future
reference and uses. Samples to be assayed will remain under the control
of Company personnel until submitted to SGS laboratory in Mwanza for 50g
fire assay (FA) with AAS finish (0.01ppm LLD). The average percentage of
recovery core is 95%. Sample intervals of 1m or less but greater than
0.5m depended on geology.
SGS laboratory is ISO 90001 and 17025 accredited and employs a
Laboratory Information Management System for sample tracking, quality
control and reporting. In addition to SGS internal standards materials
and blank samples, the Company regularly inserts into every batch its
own certified standards, coarse blanks and duplicate samples in the
sample stream approximately every 20 samples.
