VANCOUVER, Feb. 10, 2015 /CNW/ - TANZANIA MINERALS CORP. (the "Company" or
"TZM") (TSX-V: TZM.V) (FRANKFURT:
TM0.F) is pleased to provide an update regarding its work
programmes at Igurubi.
TZM Team returns to the Field
James Walchuck, Chairman of
Tanzania Minerals Corp. stated, "We are pleased to announce that
the team has returned to the field following the Christmas break
and has already completed the preliminary rock and soil sampling
programme. The programme focused on the recently acquired
licences HQ-P28715 and HQ-P28716, both of which are contiguous with
Igurubi. The initial results show the vein systems we know
from Igurubi could possibly extend into these newly acquired
licences."
Exploration work on licences HQ-P28715 and HQ-P28716 included
reconnaissance geological mapping, locating artisanal workings, and
ground-truthing previous operator's field observations. A
total of 2,822 soil samples were collected from 27 soil lines,
equivalent to 125 line kms, adopting a 50 m by 200 m grid pattern
covering the southeastern extension of the Igurubi mineralized
structure. All of the samples are currently being analyzed by
a handheld XRF instrument to determine their multi-element
geochemical signature. Based on the results of this study, a
subset of the samples will be submitted to an accredited assay lab
for low-detection level gold analysis.
Additionally, several rock samples from artisanal shafts and
workings have been submitted to SGS Laboratories in Mwaza for gold
analysis.
If favourable results are returned from the above work
programmes, a detailed ground magnetics survey and surface
trenching will be implemented.
The Company will provide updates on work completed on the
Igurubi gold property as soon as results are obtained.
