This news release is an update on the results of the soil sampling program and ground magnetic survey conducted on the Mjembe target as reported in a news release published on 16 July 2013. A total of 232 samples were selected from a database of 5068 soil samples collected on the 23km² area comprising the Mjember target. The independent laboratory results confirmed the effectiveness of the soil sample selection method based on XRF analyses as 57% of the samples assayed returned anomalous gold values. The Company will thus continue to use this cost effective method of exploration applicable to its Handeni licenses.
