Zanzibar Starts Exploration on Tanzanian Gold Properties
Zanzibar Gold Inc. (ZBR – CSE; ZNZBF – OTC Pinks) has moved the test equipment from
the Port in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania to the Mkuvia Gold Placer (“Mkuvia”) Project in southern
Tanzania.
This equipment will enable the company to quantify the areas identified in the 2009 Sedar
filed Douglas Lake Mineral (Now Handeni Gold) report as prime exploration targets. On the
Mkuvia, the program will utilize modern equipment for the first time on the property area. On
site, geologist Lawrence Stephenson, who was the lead author of the 2009 report, has
reported that the initial test area has been selected and two pan samples taken from the
exposed undisturbed alluvial strata revealed 20-30 colours (specks of gold).
“This show of gold, although not quantified by the sampling we have done, today is
consistent with the better zones outlined in the report,” stated Mr. Stephenson, “and suggests
that first test area should be of interest.”
The company will also initiate exploration on the Fukawi Lode gold (“Fukawi”) properties in
the Handeni area of Tanzania. The initial exploration program will focus on several gold
bearing veins that were outlined in previous exploration.
The Fukawi Property is a hard rock exploration project located northwest of the Magambezi
Deposit, and has had no follow up exploration conducted.
“Zanzibar is moving into a new phase of exploration on the Mkuvia Placer in Southern
Tanzania.” Company President S.A. Farrage reiterated, “With gold miners buying each other,
new gold resource targets are relatively few.”
Paul Smith, the QP for the company has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical
information in this news release.
