The Negero (Green Hills) Property (Prospecting License No. 2957/2005) is located approximately 150 kilometres north northeast of Morogoro and covers approximately 20 kilometres of the structural zone to the east and 10 kilometres to the south. The property is located 75 kilometres east of Anglo Gold Ashanti’s property. The property’s north west corner is located at (A 2957) S5° 40' 22.2" E37° 43' 59.5".

As with the previous two properties, access is off the main paved highway from Morogoro to Dodoma, but approximately 45 kilometres to the south of the Haneni Junction. From there, it is roughly another 88 kilometres along the secondary highway B127 to the property which lies next to the road, near the village of Negero. Secondary and tertiary roads transect the entire area facilitating easy access all parts of the property. Tertiary roads provide access to most areas of the property.
A minor program of geochemical soil sampling and geological mapping has been completed on the property by Anglo Gold Ashanti. And there is evidence of recent alluvial workings by the local artesian miners, but again no records are available. For this property, our company president also initiated some preliminary magnetometer surveys on wide spaced lines along with his initial geological prospecting.
Again, the property’s geology is underlain by rocks that have been classified as Proterozoic gneisses. The main geology is 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.
