MDN Inc. announced that the beginning of the February drill program on its wholly-owned Nikonga project in Tanzania. The program, consisting of 15 RC holes totaling 1600 m, will test two gold-in-soil anomaly trends of two kilometer strike length each. In 2011, MDN geologists carried out initial sampling during a mapping program on the Nikonga project, and the results were very encouraging, with the eastern sector returning grades ranging from 4 g/t gold to a maximum of 33 g/t gold. The first drill target is the main structure, Kezeria, which strikes at 290 degrees and where the highest value of 33 g/t gold was obtained. The second target is a sub parallel structure striking at 306 degrees, about 500 m to the north of Kezeria. This site returned a maximum grade of 23.7 g/t gold. Several holes will also be drilled to test for the presence of veinlets, stockwork or other gold-bearing features between the two main structures which are 500 metres apart. The gold grades from the legal artisanal mine sites who have a contractual agreement with MDN inc., coincide with two sub parallel trends of soil geochemistry anomalies with gold values from 50 to 580 ppb. These two trends are 500 metres apart and strike northwest, which is the same direction as the regional lineament that connects the Nikonga property to the Tulawaka mine. This major lineament is visible on topographic maps and regional satellite images.
