News Release - November 26, 2007
Record High Gold Values Reported by Tanzanian Royalty
From RC Drill Program at Kigosi Project in Tanzania
Tanzanian Royalty is pleased to announce that a Phase 4 Reverse Circulation (RC) drill program has returned record high gold values at the Company’s Kigosi Project in Tanzania. In addition, the Company has discovered a seventh gold bearing shoot containing encouraging values within one of two previously established shear zones on the Kigosi property which is located in the prolific Lake Victoria Greenstone Belt.
According to Tanzanian Royalty President, John Deane, the Phase 4 drill program “has produced the highest gold grades yet discovered at Kigosi with a peak value of101.25 g/t gold (3.0 oz/t) returned over 1.0 metrein Hole KG20RC271 within the Bateleur gold shoot.”
Deane also noted that this particular sample had excellent “repeatability” during the umpire assay verification process at the Humac laboratory in Mwanza, Tanzania with values recorded of177.0 g/t ( 5.1 oz/t) ; 143.77g/t (4.2 oz/t) and 153.75g/t (4.5 oz./t). The averaged value from the Humac laboratory for this particular sample is158.17g/t (4.4 oz/t), he added.
Hole KG20RC-270 returned 4.0 metres (13.1 ft) averaging 11.32 g/t (0.33 oz/t) including 2.0 metres (6.56 ft.) grading 18.03 g/t (0.526 oz/t) within the Main Zone. While KG20RC-271 returned9.0 metres (29.5 ft.) grading 11.93 g/t (0.35 oz/t)including the value mentioned above of 1.0 metre (3.28 ft.) averaging 101.25 g/t (3.0 oz/t)which wasalsoin the Main Zone. The Company elected to utilize the more conservative 101.25 g/t value for these intercepts rather than the average of the check assays which was substantially higher.
The new Goshawk shoot, which is contained within the Luhwaika Main Shear zone immediately above the Bateleur shoot, produced gold values ranging between7.15g/t (0.21 oz/t) and 35.70g/t (1.0 oz/t).
In less than one year, Tanzanian Royalty has confirmed the presence of seven high grade gold shoots at Kigosi including the recent Goshawk discovery which remains open to further expansion.
“Given the high frequency of favourable results from Kigosi, we are developing specific exploration milestones for this project which at the present time we intend to pursue in-house rather than through our standard royalty agreements which has largely been the case in the past,” said the Company’s Chairman and CEO, Jim Sinclair.
“In our view, Kigosi has the potential to become a world class gold discovery and we intend to make it the most aggressively explored precious metals project in Africa over the next few years,” he said.
“With that objective in mind, a number of financing options are open to us to exploit the potential at Kigosi – both internally and externally – and we are currently evaluating which option(s) will be best for shareholders,” he said.
The Phase 4 drill program consisted of 62 holes aggregating 3,284 metres, bringing the total drilled at Kigosi to 13,299 metres in 311 holes. Drilling was conducted along five control lines with a central baseline having a strike length of 2.8 kilometres.
The primary objective of this fourth phase of drilling was to test the strike continuity of the Luhwaika reef system to the northwest on two 200 metres spaced lines, and to drill infill holes down-dip and along strike of mineralization identified in previous drilling in the northwest area. Drill hole spacing was 30 metres.
The two shear zones hosting these gold shoots have now been traced along a strike length of 1.6 kilometres with the current drilling and they are still open towards the northwest. The shoots within these shear zones now have lengths ranging from 100 to 1,300 metres.
Deane also pointed out that “the Luhwaika Main Shear Zone definitely has the thicker and higher grade shoots, namely the Falcon, Bateleur and Goshawk.”
Below is a summary of the shoot statistics.
Shear System | Shoot Name | No. of RC holes | Length (m) | Width (m) | Thickness (m) | Grade (g/t) | Comments |
Luhwaika Main | Falcon | 7 | ±850 | 10-20 | 1-2 | 2.59-8.83 | Closed ? |

Luhwaika West | Albatross | 1 | >100 | ? | 1 | 20.30 | Open to west |
The shoots are separated by lower grade (<2g/t) envelopes that are between 10 and 30 metres wide along the plane of the shear zones. A summary of the Phase 4 drill highlights is given below:

*The above intersections are estimated to be very close to true thicknesses with all the drill inclinations being -60 degrees and the dip of the reef being -22 degrees. All holes are drilled perpendicular to the assumed strike of the reef(s).
The fifth phase of drilling has commenced at Kigosi with the Company continuing to drill out the two main reefs to the northwest and southeast. In anticipation of the rainy season, the Company is currently drilling areas that will likely not be accessible for much longer.
In addition, the road network into Kigosi has been upgraded to facilitate access into areas that are scheduled to be drilled during the rainy season. Critical supplies for this Phase 5 program are on site and the Company intends to bring in a track-mounted diamond drill to augment the aggressive drill program at Kigosi which is entering a critical phase.
The next phase of drilling will therefore concentrate on the Luhwaika Main and West Shears to the northwest. Two lines will also be drilled in the southeast of the system where IP and previous drilling suggest that the two shear systems are merging to form one system. A further 2,500 metres of drilling is planned during this next phase, all of which should be completed in the 2007 drill season.
Analysis
Fire assay with flame AAS finish was conducted by SGS Laboratories in Mwanza. Duplicates and Standards were inserted in the sample stream approximately every 20 samples. The duplicates have a correlation coefficient of 66.7%, which is accounted for by the large nugget effect within the sampling. 15% of the standards from SGS fall outside the acceptable 3rd standard deviation. Because of this, 95% of the high gold samples were sent to Humac as a check. The Humac fire assay results gave a 94.5% correlation with the SGS results, and this is considered acceptable. The figures used in this press release are the average grades taken for between one and three duplicates run by the labs on each analysis.
