27 May 2025resource reserve update▲ GoodMajor
On May 23, 2025 the company filed on Sedar+ the full NI 43-101 technical report for the Preliminary Economic Assessment and an updated Mineral Resource Estimate for Buckreef, prepared by P&E Mining Consultants; the May 27, 2025 6-K furnishes it with author consents and a press release. The text provided does not include the updated resource numbers, so whether they replace the May 2020 estimate cannot be stated. This is the formal report behind the April 22, 2025 PEA announcement.
On April 22, 2025 the company announced a Preliminary Economic Assessment (an early-stage study) for the next Buckreef expansion. Per the headline, it shows a pre-tax NPV (5% discount) of US$701M at a gold price of US$2,296/oz, rising to US$1.2Bn at US$3,000/oz. The filing is only a cover form; production, cost and capital details are not included, and a PEA is not a feasibility study. It advances the sulphide/expansion plans from earlier years (an inference).
On January 14, 2025 the company reported, per the headline, more high-grade intercepts at Stamford Bridge, with the zone extended another 25 meters. The filing is only a cover form, so no grades or resource figures are available. It continues the Stamford Bridge drilling reported in November 2024.
On November 12, 2024 the company issued a press release saying, per the headline, that a new 'Stamford Bridge' shear zone was extended another 50 meters with another best drill intercept. The filing is only a cover form, so no grades, hole details or resource impact are given, and Stamford Bridge is a zone not mentioned in earlier context.
On May 15, 2023 the company issued a press release on near-surface drill results; per the headline, Anfield and Eastern Porphyry zones show results such as 14 m at 3.5 g/t gold including 3.0 m at 10.9 g/t. The filing is only a cover form, so no further detail is available. This follows up on the Anfield zone discovered in 2021, where drilling was planned.
On May 12, 2023 the company signed an at-the-market agreement with H.C. Wainwright (lead agent) and Roth Capital Partners to sell common shares from time to time with an aggregate offering price of up to $10,000,000, with sales through NYSE American only (none on the TSX). It will pay a 3.0% commission, plans to use proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes, and no shares are said to have been sold yet; any sales would dilute existing holders.
On January 9, 2023 the company announced, per the headline, that gold mineralization of the Buckreef Main Zone extends to the southwest, with intercepts including 34.8 m at 1.26 g/t (including 10.0 m at 3.08 g/t) and 16.5 m at 2.01 g/t. The filing contains only the cover form, so no further detail or resource impact is available. It continues the Main Zone extension drilling begun with the northeast extension in 2022.
On December 12, 2022 the company released metallurgical drill hole assay results, headlined as including 106 m at 4.19 g/t, 28 m at 10.68 g/t, 123 m at 2.69 g/t and 121 m at 2.96 g/t gold. The filing provided is only the cover form; the release body is not included, so no detail beyond the headline is available. It continues the sulphide metallurgical work flagged earlier (an inference from the 'metallurgical' label). The cover also shows a new head office address in Oakville, Ontario.
On November 15, 2022 the company issued a press release, headlined as declaring commercial production at its 1,000+ tpd processing plant. The filing text provided is only the cover form and does not include the press release body, so no production figures, dates or costs can be stated. Based on the headline, this appears to resolve the plant expansion from 360 tpd to 1,000+ tpd that was targeted for Q2/Q3 2022 (an inference from the headline; the actual timing relative to target is not in the text provided).
On June 2, 2022 the company reported that northeast step-out drilling extended the Buckreef Main Zone by 250m to 1.8 km (a 16% increase in strike length), with intercepts such as 28.0m at 3.27 g/t gold. It has drilled 21 holes (7,415m) there, added a second drill rig and planned about 10,000m more drilling, including infill at Buckreef West and starting at Anfield, continuing the exploration threads from 2021; no new resource estimate is given.
On March 11, 2022 the company said it received a certificate from Tanzania's Mining Commission extending the renewal date of the Buckreef Special Mining License (SML 04/92) by 5 years, from 2027 to 2032. The company says it expects the mine's life to run well beyond 2032 and that the license will be renewed before that date; this extends the company's legal right to mine and explore at Buckreef.
On January 26, 2022 the company closed a registered direct offering of 17,948,718 shares at $0.39 with one institutional investor, plus warrants over the same number of shares at $0.44 (five years), raising about US$6.4 million net. The price is well below the US$0.65 paid in the February 2021 raise (an inference: new money is coming in at a lower share price). Proceeds are earmarked for expanding the plant from 360 tpd to 1,000+ tpd (expected Q2/Q3 2022, forecast 15,000-20,000 oz of gold a year), exploration at Buckreef Main, Buckreef West and Anfield, and sulphide metallurgical work.
What it means for a shareholder
17.9m new shares at C$0.390 to raise about C$6.4m. That's 6.6% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 6.6% smaller. If you held C$1,000 of shares (2,564 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.00101% to 0.00094% of the company. To keep it you'd need 181 more shares - about C$71 at the issue price.
On June 21, 2021 the company announced a second new discovery in under two months, the Anfield Zone: three parallel gold structures totalling 2.9 km of strike, about 500m east of the Buckreef Main Zone. Results are early-stage surface grab samples (up to 37.52 g/t), with drilling planned for 2021 and 2022, so no resource has been defined yet.
On May 3, 2021 the company announced a new discovery at Buckreef West, a gold-bearing zone next to the Buckreef Main Zone, drilled over 400m of strike and open to the south and at depth (31 holes, 2,903m). Best intercepts included 4.57m at 6.4 g/t gold and 5.57m at 4.95 g/t; no resource estimate for the zone is given, and the company says infill drilling is still needed to try to upgrade it.
12 Feb 2021capital raising announcement● NeutralMajor
On February 11, 2021 the company closed a registered direct offering of 32,923,078 shares at US$0.65 each, plus warrants over 16,461,539 shares (US$0.80 exercise, five years, exercisable after six months), for net proceeds of about US$19.8 million. The money is intended for continued development of the Buckreef Gold Project (with joint venture partner STAMICO), exploration, and working capital. This is a much larger raise than the December 2020 one and dilutes existing holders.
What it means for a shareholder
32.9m new shares at US$0.650 to raise about US$19.8m. That's 14% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 14% smaller. If you held US$1,000 of shares (1,538 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.000769% to 0.000661% of the company. To keep it you'd need 253 more shares - about US$164 at the issue price.
On December 21, 2020 the company agreed to sell 5,545,325 common shares with warrants over up to 2,772,637 more shares (exercise price $1.50, three-year life) for gross proceeds of $2,993,390, about $2,963,390 net. Separately, on December 18, 2020 it agreed with YA II PN and Riverfort Global Opportunities to change the conditions under which it can require them to buy Tranche B Debentures under their July 22, 2020 purchase agreement; the filing does not say what the new conditions are. This continues the company's pattern of raising money through share sales and adds a debenture financing thread.
Tanzanian Gold Corporation (TRX Gold) agreed on December 16, 2019 to sell up to 6,695,652 common shares at $0.575 each through underwriters led by R.F. Lafferty, on a 'best efforts' basis, meaning the underwriters are not obliged to buy any shares themselves. Closing was expected around December 18, 2019; the filing gives no total proceeds or use of funds, and new shares dilute existing holders.
What it means for a shareholder
6.7m new shares at C$0.575 to raise about C$3.8m. That's 4.3% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 4.3% smaller. If you held C$1,000 of shares (1,739 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.00116% to 0.00111% of the company. To keep it you'd need 77 more shares - about C$44 at the issue price.
