Douglas Lake Minerals Inc. (OTCBB:DLKM) has recently filed a NI 43-101 Technical Report on its four 100% owned prospecting licenses which cover 800 square kilometers in the Handeni District of eastern Tanzania. This area recently has been recognized as an important gold district after the Magambazi gold find.

The 43-101 report details the first and second phases of exploration over the license area. In the Company’s November 23rd release it was disclosed that the first phase airborne geophysical survey effectively outlined the folded and faulted geologic terrain as well as five prominent Northwest-Southeast trending shear zones that extend through the Douglas Lake ground. The second phase work program concentrated on collecting and analyzing soil geochemical samples on both detailed grids as well as reconnaissance style control lines across the large project area.

Historically, the region has seen only small-scale artisanal workings which originally allowed explorers to focus on the Magambazi prospect. Now the Handeni region is recognized to be one of the prime exploration targets for gold in Tanzania. On September 13th 2010, Canaco Resources Inc. announced that regional soil sampling had outlined a total of two North-Westerly parallel trends of gold mineralization on their license area. The two trends, which include the Magambazi mineralization, are said to have a combined strike length of 15 kilometers.

“The Handeni Gold Trend that was initially reported by Canaco has been significantly extended by the work on the Douglas Lake ground”, reports Harp Sangha CEO. “Our results indicate that there is a lot more to this area.”
