Progress of Exploration WorkNORTHERN MINING Explorations Ltd.: New Gold Anomalies in
the Tulawaka Area
MONTREAL, QUEBEC--NORTHERN MINING Explorations Ltd. (Explorations
MINIERES du NORD - "MDN") is pleased to report on the progress of
exploration work at its own portfolio of mineral properties in
Tanzania.
So far, two areas with gold anomalies have been delineated. These
areas show coincident copper and arsenic anomalies and appear to
be related to targets previously identified from structural
interpretation of geophysical programs. MDN plans to follow up
these anomalies immediately and bring them to a sufficiently
detailed stage for a drilling program by mid-year.
MDN has assembled a Tanzanian portfolio consisting of 17
Prospecting Licences covering a total of approximately 862 km2
immediately adjacent to the Tulawaka project, where a gold mine
is currently under construction. During 2003, geochemical surveys
have been carried out over seven of these licences where little
or no previous exploration work had been done.
Target areas in each property have been covered by soil
geochemical surveys, consisting of sampling on lines 800 m apart
with sample stations at 100 m intervals, using manual augers.
This soil geochemical technique is the same as that used in the
orientation surveys that have already proved so efficient at
discovering Tulawaka-type deposits in the area.
A total of 3,770 samples, including quality control samples, have
been submitted for analysis to the ALS-Chemex facilities in
Mwanza, Tanzania and Perth, Australia. The sampling program is
being directly supervised under a service contract by Stanley
Robinson, P. Geo., the Exploration Manager of Lakota Resources,
and by MDN geologist Brian Lloyd, P. Geo., both Qualified Persons
for the purposes of NI 43-101.
MDN is a Montreal-based Canadian exploration company which holds
a 30% interest in the Tulawaka gold project which is currently
under construction, a majority interest in 17 adjacent licenses
in Tanzania, a majority interest in four properties in Eritrea,
and other gold and base metal exploration interests in Quebec,
Canada.
