Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion of the operating results and financial position of
the Company for the 6 month period ended June 30, 1996 should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes
thereto.
Results of Operations
The primary operations of the Company continue to consist of
acquiring and maintaining mineral property interests or options to acquire
mineral property interests, and conducting mineral exploration on such
properties. There were no mineral property acquistions during the six months
ended June 30, 1996 and for that period expensed exploration costs were
$118,200 as compared to $5,966,824 for the year ended December 31, 1995 and
deferred exploration costs were $1,145,548 as compared to nil in 1995.
The Company incurred general and administrative expenses of
$458,849 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to $403,985
during 1995. The principal factors in the higher expenses during the period
relate to substantial increase in time and expense providing shareholder
information and promoting the Company, to higher consultants costs, to
increased legal costs principally relating to agreements in respect of its
various mineral property interests and to the fact that the Company now
maintains a full office infrastructure.
Such costs were paid from the proceeds of (i) the issuance of
4,851,298 shares of common stock of the Company for $1,455,389 and (ii) the
sale to Ste-Genevieve Ressource Ltd., a Canadian mining company, a 30% fully
participating interest in all the mineral properties held by the Company as
at December 31, 1995, for the sum of $1,300,000.
Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1996 comprised the sale
of the 30% fully participating interest to Ste-Genevieve Ressource Limited in
the sum of $1,300,000 as compared to nil in 1995, and interest received
$1,403 as compared to nil in 1995. In the current period the Company
determined to treat exploration costs as deferred until the properties are
put into commercial production, sold or abandoned. In 1995 all exploration
costs were expensed. This change, together with the sale of the 30%
participating interest, resulted in a profit for the period of $724,354 as
compared to a loss of $5,908,944 for 1995.
In May, 1996 the Company contracted to acquire interests in another
Tanzanian prospecting license for the consideration of $150,000 and 2,000,000
common stock; payment by the Company of such consideration is due on
August 23, 1996.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 1996 the Company had cash and cash equivalents of
$180,948. Further substantial amounts will be required to enable the Company
to carry out its planned work programs on its Tanzanian interests.
An agreement in principle has been reached with Ste-Genevieve Resources,
Inc., a Canadian company, to raise sufficient funds to meet these
commitments; this agreement is subject to due diligence and there can be no
certainty that funds will ultimately be forthcoming from that source.
Ste-Genevieve has provided limited interim funding pending finalization of the
agreement and has taken a working interest in the Company's mining licences
pending the determination thereof. No further funding is available from this
source until additional assay results are received over the course of the
next few months that are satisfactory to Ste-Genevieve and proposed stock
brokers. Therefore, alternative sources of funding will be needed to be
established to enable the Company to carry out its planned work programs on
its Tanzanian interests.
The Company has commitments from Randos AG and certain other
sources to provide funds to finance certain of its mining operations. A
failure by the Company to raise additional funds could have a material
adverse effect on the results of operations of the Company and its future
business prospects. The Company had no income from operations in the period
to which this report relates. The Company has no internal or external
sources of liquidity.
