MAIDEN DRILLING PROGRAM HAS COMMENCED AT THE MINJINGU
URANIUM AND PHOSPHATE PROJECT TANZANIA
HIGHLIGHTS
Successful mobilisation of drill rig and equipment to site
1,000m Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling program underway
Testing high priority historical targets at Minjingu Uranium Project
800-line km (Phase 1) ground radiometric traverses are progressing over the Minjingu Project
Gladiator Resources Ltd (ASX: GLA) (Gladiator or the Company) is pleased to announce the commencement of
the maiden drilling program, including the on-going ground radiometric traverses at the Minjingu Uranium
Project located in Northern Tanzania by its wholly owned subsidiary (subject to final regulatory approvals) Zeus
Resources (T) Limited (Zeus).
Gladiator Resources Chairman Ian Hastings commented:
“We are pleased to commence the high impact drilling program at Minjingu which kicked off over the
weekend targeting the highly radioactive anomaly south of the Minjingu Phosphate mine (ML). The RC
program, which is being undertaken by Zeus, is targeting Uranium mineralisation in an area where
historical exploration identified shallow and anomalous mineralisation over 400m in strike without any
follow-up drilling. These proximal indicators coupled with our radiometric surveys have defined high
potential targets for this program which is expected to take about two weeks to complete. The team in
the field will also be routinely checking samples with a portable spectrometer to assist in identifying
mineralisation and prioritising samples for laboratory analysis.“
Minjingu – (Uranium, Phosphate) 100% Gladiator
Minjingu covers a total area of 296.9km2 and is located in northern Tanzania, 106km southwest of Arusha the
main administrative city in the area and 520km northwest of Dar es salaam. The Minjingu Project area possesses
solid infrastructure such as quality tarmac roads, power lines, airport services via both Arusha and Kilimanjaro
International airports and ample water resources.
Maiden RC Drilling Program
The planned 1000m maiden RC drilling program at Minjingu has been designed to evaluate historical intercepts
reported by (Montero Mining and Exploration Ltd: ((TSX.V: MON)) in 2007). The previous Montero drilling program
was drilled randomly, with wide spaced intervals. Given there was no further follow-up drilling conducted on the
previous significant intercepts, the planned drilling (fence 1) will systematically target both MW14 and MW15 and
the 400m infill potential between (MW14 and MW15), at 100m spacings and to a depth of 100m. A second fence
of drilling is planned 50m south and based on results of the first fence. Kimani Drilling Services has been engaged
to complete the phase 1 drilling program with a UDR650 multipurpose rig, mobilising from Mwanza at the end of
last week.
