News Release December 7, 2007
Tanzanian Royalty Announces Changes to Management Structure in Tanzania to Fast Track Exploration at Kigosi
Tanzanian Royalty wishes to announce that it has realigned its management structure in Tanzania to facilitate an aggressive, multi-phased exploration program on its Kigosi Gold Project in 2008.
The Company’s President, John Deane, will now focus his exploration talents exclusively on Kigosi which recently returned the highest grade gold values ever reported from the property. (SeeNovember 26, 2007 News Release).
According to Tanzanian Royalty Chairman and CEO, Jim Sinclair, “Deane’s in-depth knowledge of Kigosi and its enormous geological potential made him the only choice as Project Manager.”
“Not only will he bring continuity to this world class exploration project in terms of management and geological decision making, he will maintain his critical role as the Company’s president with oversight responsibilities for the remainder of our mineral assets in Tanzania.”
Coincident with the decision to assign Mr. Deane exclusively to the Kigosi Project, Tanzanian Royalty has appointed Patrick Charles as the Company’s new Exploration Manager for Tanzania commencing January, 2008. Mr. Charles holds an M.Sc. in geology from the University of Paris and has completed a Business Management Course at the University of Stellenbosch in South Africa.
He has over 20 years work experience in the exploration industry in various African countries including the Central African Republic, Mozambique, Namibia, Niger, Burkina Faso, South Africa and Ghana. During 2000 and 2001 he was the Assistant to the Senior Vice President Exploration of Anglo American Corporation, Acquisition Division.
“I had the opportunity to work with Patrick early on in my career at the Ondundu Gold Deposit in Central Namibia and know him as a hard working, dedicated geologist whose business management skills will bring much needed support to the management of our increasingly busy exploration office in Mwanza, Tanzania,” said Mr. Deane.
“With 154 prospecting licenses in our Tanzanian mineral portfolio - and what will likely be an open-ended exploration budget for Kigosi in 2008 - both Mr. Deane and Mr. Charles will be working closely over the next few months to ensure a smooth transition,” added Mr. Sinclair.
Respectfully Submitted,
“James E. Sinclair”
