VANCOUVER, Dec. 1, 2014 /CNW/ - Tanzania Minerals Corp. (the "Company" or "TZM") (TSX-V: TZM.V) (FRANKFURT: TM0.F) is pleased to announce that further to its news release dated November 24th regarding the acquisition of two licences adjacent to the Igurubi Gold Property, that it has commenced exploration activities on these two new licences.
Work Program Commences
Robert Dzisiak, CEO of Tanzania Minerals Corp. stated, "We are pleased to announce that a program has commenced on these two properties which have similar geology and structure to that of Igurubi."
The Company's geological team has begun exploration work on the newly acquired licences HQ-P28715 and HQ-P28716. The initial exploration activities have included reconnaissance geological mapping, ground-truthing previous operator's field observations, and determining if artisanal workings are present.
The next phase of exploration will involve the undertaking of a hyperspectral remote sensing study to determine if alteration associated with the Igurubi mineralized system is present on HQ-P28716, or in parallel structures identified by previous airborne magnetic surveys. While this study is underway a soil geochemistry program will be carried out. This will involve low detection limit gold assay geochemistry combined with multi-element geochemistry using a portable XRF instrument. The field team will also conduct a ground-based gamma-ray spectrometry survey to identify zones of potassic alteration, which defines mineralization at Igurubi. If favourable results are returned, a detailed ground magnetics survey and surface trenching will be planned and implemented in 2015.
The Company will provide updates on work completed on the Igurubi gold property as soon as results are attained.
