The export of the geotechnical batch is currently underway and is expected to be complete by early September 2017.\n· Resource Samples: This batch, the largest of the entire collection of samples, has been delivered to a designated laboratory in Tanzania, thereby avoiding any unnecessary delays as a result of the new export rules under the recently amended mining legislation in Tanzania.
