MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

The Company's main area of operations is exploration for gold in Tanzania. 
During the quarter under review the company reported gold intersections from
RAB drilling on the Bukoli and Mgusu projects.  The best results at Bukoli
were 8.8g/t over 8m and 2.04g/t over 21m.  These results were from very
limited drilling over a 3.3km long gold-in-soil anomaly.  At Mgusu RAB
drilling gave best results of 1.08g/t over 5m.

During the quarter IR#299,400 (C$628,470) was raised by the issuance of 3.9
9million ordinary IR5p shares at IR7.5p (C$15.8c) through a private placing. 
These funds were raised to facilitate RAB drilling at Bukoli, further drilling
and soil geochemistry at Mgusu and the acquisition of further gold exploration
ground in Tanzania.

At the time of writing these programmes have been completed. Full results will
be available in early June and will be promptly announced.

Option deals have been secured on six new licences in Tanzania since the last
report.  These do not involve significant expenditure commitments.

Progress in Tanzania over the period of this report has been excellent.  In a
particularly bad market the company continued to be able to raise funds,
advanced exploration significantly and is now in a very strong position in
Tanzania on a project base, and with a key ground holding position.

Over the coming months the company will continue to advance its projects in
Tanzania.  

The company continues to up-grade its investor relations programme through
e-mail and direct contact with shareholders and potential investors.
