• Growth opportunities have been identified along structural trends associated with favorable host lithology (See Figure 1).
• Prioritization for follow up is based on potential impact on the business
• Extensive alluvium preserves near surface discovery potential, geophysics and geochemical drilling is planned to advance blind satellite opportunities.
• Geophysics surveys are to be carried out using a Tanzanian service provider.
