Cameo Samples Average 12.26 Grams Per Ton Gold on Katoro Properties in Tanzania
![]() | |||||||||
August 18, 2025 - TheNewswire - British Columbia – Cameo Resources Inc. (CSE: MEO) (FSE: Z88) (“Cameo” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce results from the recent site visit to the Katoro Gold Properties (the “Property”), located in the Geita region of the Lake Victoria Goldfields of Tanzania.
The Properties cover 12.52 square kilometers situated within the prospective Sukumaland Greenstone Belt within the Lake Victoria Goldfield (LVGF). One of the most important mining sites in Africa, Tanzania’s LVGF holds several multi-million-ounce gold deposits and has ongoing operations by some of the largest gold companies in the world. The concessions have been explored by artisanal miners, evidenced by the multiple shallow pits and trenches showing iron carbonate altered mafic volcanics (basalts) and quartz feldspar porphyry intrusions. Gold is associated with grey quartz veins and stringers that exhibit a pinch and swell characteristic, parallel to the fabric of east-west shear zones. The concessions occur within a broader area that has seen exploration and mining activities by several companies including, TRX Gold Corporation (TSX:TRX), AngloGold Ashanti plc (NYSE:AU), and IAMGOLD Corporation (TSX:IMG).
The Company’s QP visited the Property in June of this year to review the land package as well as several active mining and milling operations that surround the Property, and is currently completing a 43-101 compliant report. Multiple samples were taken from active artisanal mining pits on the Property and ranged from 1.63 g/t Au to 34.2 g/t Au and averaged 12.26 g/t Au. All samples were sourced from alluvial material that covers the Property and consisted of grey mottled quartz vein with moderate fracturing and strong iron-oxide staining. This same quartz vein material was sampled from an active hard rock mine 5 kilometers from the Property and assayed 9.85 g/t Au.
Several small to medium scale mining operations were observed surrounding the Property where samples taken from one hard rock operation less than 200 meters from the Property boundary returning assays ranging from 12.58 g/t Au to 238.74 g/t Au and averaging 108.83 g/t Au. Another site of particular interest that was visited was an operation being set up just 500 meters from, and surrounded by, the Company’s Property boundary that is currently developing an open pit approximately 200 meters by 150 meters, a custom milling and processing plant, and a leach pad.
Brian Thurston, P. Geo, States: “The Katoro property is uniquely situated in the center of many currently active gold operations. Multiple privately run mills are in operation exploiting gold rich structures less than 100 meters from surface, and small to medium scale mining and processing operations are located as close as 200 meters from the Company’s property boundary. The high gold values from the Katoro property are not surprising to see the based on all the activity surrounding the claims. It will be exciting to see the results of the fast-tracked geophysical work currently being undertaken to help delineate the mineralization potential of this highly prospective property.”
Cameo has engaged HETAMIS Mineral Services Limited of Dar es Salam, Tanzania, to complete a High-Resolution Drone Magnetic Survey covering the Katoro Gold Properties. The program is already underway and consists of approximately 230 line-kilometers with 35 line-kilometer tie lines of high-resolution magnetic data acquisition using drone-mounted magnetometer (MagArrow II from Geometrics Canada). Survey lines are being flown in a systematic grid, typically with a 50-meter line spacing, oriented north-south perpendicular to the east-west regional structural trend. Data is being processed to generate total magnetic intensity (TMI), vertical derivative, and reduced-to-equator (RTE) maps for structural interpretation and lithological mapping to delineate major and subsidiary shear zones, faults, and structural intersections that may serve as controls for gold mineralization, particularly those trending east–west or crosscutting orientations.
