Gallery Gold Limited - Kitongo Project

The Kitongo Project includes the Kitongo PL, Mwamazengo PL, Mwamazengo South PL and Ugambilo PL which form a contiguous block of tenements 80 kilometres south of Mwanza.

Gold mineralisation has been identified in three areas with the Main Zone having a measured, indicated and inferred resource of 479,000 ounces @ 1.3 g/t Au. To the north west of the Main Zone a new discovery was made in 2001 at Isegenghe Hill where an inferred resource of 75,000 ounces @ 14.4 g/t Au has been estimated. The third occurrence is at Kitongo Hill.

Primary gold mineralisation at Kitongo has a strong structural control along a north west trending regional corridor and is hosted in a mafic volcanic sequence underlying a series of intermediate to felsic volcaniclastic units and sediments composed of cherts, BIF and phyllites. Drilling indicates the gold is associated with silicification, quartz veining and arsenopyrite within brecciated cherts and tuffs.

Gallery has focused on validating the Kitongo data base in view of the numerous local grids used in the past. The Company is following up several untested gold in soil anomalies defined by Ashanti Gold in 2000 under a joint venture with Spinifex. An IP survey is also due to commence over the main areas of mineralisation to better define the controlling structures.
