Snapshot	The Singida Gold Mine is recognised as one of the safest gold mining operations among its peers. Following recent resource discoveries, plans are underway to transition Singida into a hybrid operation incorporating underground mining, unlocking further value from the deposit. A process plant expansion, completed in H1 2025, has doubled mill throughput capacity. As of 13 May 2024, Shanta Gold Ltd. became a private company, and since then its production data has not been publicly disclosed.

Summary:

The geology of the Singida area is dominated by the Tanzanian granite-gneiss craton. Poorly exposed greenstone remnants were identified within the granite gneiss terrain during mapping by the Geological Survey of Tanzania (Haidutov 1976). These greenstones comprise an intercalated sedimentary and volcanic sequence with similarities to the Nyanzian Supergroup (System) of the Lake Victoria Goldfields.

The volcanic rocks encountered are predominantly basaltic lava and localised hypabyssal diorite/microdiorite intrusives. Meta-sedimentary rocks consist mainly of metaquartzitic lithologies, with subordinate siltstones, mudstones and banded ferruginous chert also encountered. The orientation of the layering is generally parallel to the basement foliation. Isoclinal folding is also evident.

The Nyanzian lithologies are generally metamorphosed to greenschist- and lower-amphibolite facies with localised occurrences of upper amphibolite grade. Post tectonic granite intrusives are common throughout the area.

Gold mineralisation is associated with penetrative brittle-ductile, steeply dipping, quartz veined shear zones that generally approximate the strike of lithological contacts.

The area south of Singida is exceptionally flat lying with little relief except for the granite intrusives that form prominent tors. Weathered overburden profiles are dominated by Neogene transported pedogenic gravels and related soils. Black Cotton soils (Mbuga) occurs locally.

Singida orebodies open along strike and at depth with numerous previously identified parallel structures.

The mineral resource estimate is hosted in a greenstone deposit that incorporates three mining licenses and seven mineralised zones with a combined strike length of 4.9 km.

Widths range from 5-15 metres and mineralisation extends approximately 500 metres below the topographical surface.
