It covers approximately 40 kilometres of the structural zone to the east and 6 to 15 kilometres to the south. The property’s north west corner is located at (A 2683) S5° 54' 52.2" E36° 46' 59.6".
Access to the property is off the main paved highway from Morogoro to Dodoma, approximately 100 kilometres to the south-east. From the main highway, it’s another 35 kilometres along secondary main roads to the property near the village of Kibati. Secondary and tertiary roads transect the entire area facilitating easy access to all parts of the property.

Alluvial workings on
ASW property
|
|
The property’s geology is underlain by rocks that have been classified as Proterozoic gneisses, with the main geology being part of the Usagaran System of rocks of Tanzania. This system of felsic gneisses is highly metamorphosed and includes some marble units. It is delineated as part of the West mobile belt of Africa which surrounds the African Craton (Tanzania Craton). An east west structure has been proposed as the main ground preparation for the region and its related gold mineralization. Due to the minimal to non-existent exploration in the area, no geological model or theory has been developed. There is evidence of recent alluvial workings but no records are available.
