A total of 35 drill holes amounting to 2,472 meters were drilled to test three extensive, near surface quartz vein exploration targets in the Kanunga part of the Kinyambwiga Project.

Kanunga 1

At Kanunga 1, previous Lake Victoria trenching and reverse circulation drilling identified a number of shear hosted, narrow, east-northeast trending, gold-rich quartz veins extending a distance of about 350 meters within granitic rocks. Recent drilling on 80 meter spaced north-south sections has not only traced the down-dip extensions of the known mineralized structure, but has also followed the veins outward along strike.

Drilling successfully intersected both the Northern and Southern quartz veins that together comprise the Kanunga 1 Prospect; the veins tend to "pinch and swell" along strike, and are spaced about 15 meters to 20 meters apart. The drilling has increased the known strike length of the veins by 200 meters to a new length of about 550 meters.

Near the northeastern and southwestern ends of the known veins, the gold grade of both veins appears to decrease and the veins also appear to "pinch-out". These changes occur near Section 581,700E and 580,980E over a strike length of about 720 meters. However, drilling further to the west and about 50 meters south of the Southern vein did intersect a 15 meter wide anomalous zone of 0.200 g/t Au. This intercept corresponds to the near surface part of a deeper seated (+100 meter) electrical induced polarization (IP) anomaly that was identified by a detailed Schlumberger profile across this area.

A number of narrow, 1 meter wide, gold bearing quartz veins of limited strike length have also been encountered near the main quartz veins. Visible gold together with increased pyrite mineralization was noted in on-site, panned drill chips; this increased mineralization is also reflected by elevated assay results reported in Table 1.

A step out hole, KNRC0032, was located to test an IP Chargeability anomaly about 50 meters to the north of the central part of Kanunga 1. This hole returned encouraging results in which a number of anomalous intercepts (greater than 0.10 g/t Au) were encountered including 1 meter of 1.79 g/t Au and 25 meters of 0.192 g/t Au; additional drilling will be required to more fully evaluate this new area.

Kanunga 2

The Kanunga 2 target, located 500 meters north of Kanunga 1, extends for 400 meters in an east-northeast direction and was tested with 4 reverse circulation boreholes. Two holes tested the southwestern end of the trend where an artisanal shaft is present. Drill results returned one anomalous intercept of 0.110 g/t Au over 5 meters along the interpolated mineralized trend.

Two scissor holes were drilled to test this area of extensive quartz float and minor artisanal workings in the northeastern part of the trend. One of the boreholes, proximal to the artisanal workings encountered two anomalous gold zones averaging at 0.315 g/t Au over 2 meters and 0.224 g/t Au over 5 meters in the upper and lower parts the borehole respectively. An Induced Polarization (IP) Chargeability anomaly is present in this area.

Kanunga 3

At Kanunga 3, located approximately 1 kilometer north of Kanunga 1, extensive artisanal workings are present and cover an area of 200 meters x 100 meters. Drilling was planned to test the intersecting east-northeast and northwest trending geophysical (IP) structures as well as the previous shallow Reconnaissance Air Blast (RAB) drill results. A number of recent scissor holes were drilled on north-south fences spaced 80 meters apart across the artisanal workings. Gold grades were low and included a number of anomalous intersections of less than 0.250 g/t Au in the southern part of the artisanal area. A borehole drilled immediately west of the site, intersected a wide anomalous zone of 0.355 g/t Au over 16 meters and suggests that the mineralized zone may be improving towards the west.

In summary, results from the recent Kanunga drilling indicate a possible economic potential for the Kanunga Prospects and also suggests that the Kanunga 1 area consists of a number of en echelon vein sets that lie along a major northeast-southwest structural corridor. This structural corridor is reflected by both ground magnetic and gradient array (IP) surveys. Further geophysical exploration over the 3 Kanunga prospects along the east-northeast trend beneath the surrounding clay rich soil cover will trace the veins along strike and suggest additional drill targets.

Other Current Exploration

Exploration continues within the neighbouring Suguti and Murangi licenses within the Musoma District area. These licenses, covering an area of 72.9 and 51.9 square kilometers respectively, are in the process of being covered by ground magnetometer surveys and geologic mapping. Follow-up soil sampling in non-clay soil covered areas is planned for early 2011.

Concurrent with geophysical surveys currently underway in the Musoma District, soil sampling programs are in progress at the Kiserya gold project (52.98 square kilometers) in the North Mara District, northeastern Tanzania. Soil sampling is also underway over selected ground magnetic anomalies, outside the known drilled targets, at the Londoni-Singida gold project in eastern-central Tanzania. At Lake Victoria's Geita Gold project, two detailed soil sampling grids are planned adjacent to Anglo-Ashanti's Geita Gold license; this license, on which the renowned Geita Gold Mine is located, shares an 11 kilometer long border with Lake Victoria's property. All surveys are expected to be completed before year-end.

Analytical work was carried out at the independent SGS Laboratories in Mwanza, Tanzania. The drill samples were subject to full sample preparation followed by a 50 gram fire assay with an AA finish. Blanks (5%), commercial standards (5%) and duplicates (5%) were used in each sample batch of 20 samples to monitor laboratory performance during the analysis. Samples submitted represent either 5 meter composite samples of 1 meter intervals or 1 meter samples, where on site logging and panning of the RC chips indicate the presence of visible gold or gold-bearing sulfides.

Disclaimer

The reader is cautioned that the potential quantity and grade of the exploration target is conceptual in nature; it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the exploration target being delineated as a mineral resource and there is no guarantee that these resources, if delineated, will be economic or sufficient to support a commercial mining operation. The Company's production objectives are intended to provide an indication of management's current expectations and are still conceptual in nature. It is uncertain that it will be established that these resources will be converted into economically viable mining reserves. Until a feasibility study has been completed, there is no certainty that these objectives will be met.
