Lake Victoria Gold Ltd. (TSXV:LVG) (OTCQB:LVGLF) (FSE:E1K) reported high-grade, near-surface gold intercepts from drilling at its Imwelo Gold Project in Tanzania, adding new data to the company's ongoing work to refine the project's initial mining area and processing plans.
The latest drilling at Area C, the planned initial open-pit area, returned 28.71 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over 2.75 metres from 21 metres in hole IMWDR029. A second hole, IMWDR028, intersected 12.20 g/t gold over 4.50 metres from 32 metres.
Individual quartz-vein samples within those intervals returned much higher grades, including 142.90 g/t gold over 0.50 metres in IMWDR029 and 124.83 g/t over 0.40 metres in IMWDR028.
The results are from eight HQ diamond drill holes covering 225 metres across roughly 240 metres of strike in Area C. Four holes encountered voids **** ociated with historical artisanal mining, where parts of the shallow mineralized zone had already been removed.
The company said the drilling will help refine detailed mine planning and future grade-control work. Reported intercepts are down-hole lengths, and true widths have not yet been established.

A runner-up last year in the Sydney Marathon, Ethiopian Addisu Gobena won the event on Saturday, emerging from a field that featured the 2025 winner, fellow Ethiopian Hailemaryam Kiros, and the reigning world champion, Tanzania's Alphonce Simbu.
Gobena smashed Kiros' course record of 2:06:06 with a time of 2:04:42.
Although Simbu was taken down, the 2025 world champion on the women's side, Kenya's Peres Jepchirchir, wasn't defeated in Australia. Jepchirchir, a 2021 Olympic gold medalist, finished just nine seconds shy of the course record, clocking in at 2:18:31.
In its second year as a World Marathon major — there are currently seven (the others are Tokyo, Boston, London, Berlin, Chicago and New York City) — the Sydney Marathon hosted around 40,000 expected runners who raced from North Sydney, across the Sydney Harbor Bridge and to the finish line, which was located in front of the city's iconic Opera House.
The Sydney Marathon marked the fourth event on this year's Marathon Major calendar. With a more demanding course than some of the majors, there was once again plenty of intrigue in Sydney. Last year, Kiros finished first among the men, while Sifan Hassan, a three-time Olympic gold medalist representing the Netherlands, took home the women's in 2:18:22. She didn't take part in Saturday's race, however.

One travel influencer got a little too close to the local wildlife when a seemingly peaceful swim with turtles ended with one taking a bite out of her.
Cynthia Benitez shared the hilarious encounter during a trip to Tanzania in an Instagram video on August 13, in which she is seen in a lagoon surrounded by turtles.
At first, everything appeared idyllic, but while Benitez had her attention focused on a larger turtle in front of her, another quietly approached from behind.
The turtle suddenly nipped the unsuspecting woman, sending her lunging forward and frantically splashing through the water before quickly making her escape.
"I thought turtles were supposed to be harmless…," Benitez joked in the caption alongside the clip.

Lake Victoria Gold Ltd. (TSXV:LVG) (OTCQB:LVGLF) (FSE:E1K) has released the maiden National Instrument 43-101 (NI 43-101) Mineral Resource Estimate for its wholly owned Tembo Gold Project in northwestern Tanzania, outlining an initial resource of nearly 580,000 ounces of gold across three deposits.Lake Victoria Gold Ltd. has outlined its first NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource at the Tembo Gold Project in Tanzania, establishing nearly 580,000 ounces of contained gold and giving the company a second defined development **** et alongside its fully permitted Imwelo project.The resource is centered on the Ngula 1, Nyakagwe Village, and Nyakagwe East deposits, all located on four granted mining licences covering approximately 34 square kilometers within the Lake Victoria Goldfield. The project borders Barrick Gold's Bulyanhulu Mine, one of Tanzania's largest underground gold operations, although mineralization on adjacent properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralization at Tembo.

Photo by Zlaťáky.cz on PexelsAmong the three deposits, Ngula 1 represents the most advanced target, accounting for approximately 331,000 ounces, or roughly 57% of the project's total resource and nearly two-thirds of the Indicated ounces. According to the company, the deposit extends for approximately 600 metres along strike, remains open at depth and along strike, and will serve as the focus of a planned 5,000-metre infill drilling program designed to improve geological confidence and support future mine planning.Beyond the headline resource estimate, the company highlighted the presence of a higher-grade component within the deposit. Using progressively higher cut-off grades, the resource estimate outlines 400,400 ounces grading 2.13 grams per tonne at a 1.0 g/t cut-off and 280,500 ounces grading 3.08 g/t at a 1.5 g/t cut-off. These figures are reported as grade-tonnage sensitivities within the same conceptual open-pit shells as the mineral resource estimate and do not represent separate mineral resources or mineral reserves.Lake Victoria Gold said much of the current resource remains classified as Inferred because of drill **** ing, particularly at the Nyakagwe Village and Nyakagwe East deposits. Planned infill drilling is intended to improve confidence in the geological model and support future resource conversion, although there is no **** urance that additional drilling will upgrade existing resources.The company also continues to advance a previously announced toll-milling initiative with Nyati Resources (T) Limited involving a proposed 500-tonne-per-day processing plant located on a Tembo mining licence. The proposed arrangement is intended to provide a processing option for potential near-surface material from Ngula 1, subject to additional drilling, permitting, financing, and the negotiation and execution of definitive agreements.Tembo represents Lake Victoria Gold's second principal development **** et alongside its fully permitted Imwelo G

International Cricket Council (ICC) Chairman Jay Shah on Sunday inaugurated the Tanzania Cricket Arena (TCA Arena) in Dar es Salaam, marking a historic milestone for the country's cricketing journey. The venue is the first-ever ICC-approved cricket stadium in Tanzania and is expected to play a pivotal role in developing the sport across East Africa.
The inauguration also marks the first time an ICC Chairman has visited Tanzania to officially open a cricket venue, underlining the ICC's commitment to expanding the game's footprint beyond traditional cricketing nations.
Located at the University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM), the TCA Arena has been built as Tanzania's permanent home for cricket. The modern facility comprises two international-standard cricket ovals and will serve as the country's national high-performance centre.
The venue will be used for:
Player development programmes
Talent identification pathways
Coach education initiatives

Former CDC director on Ebola outbreak: ‘I suspect this is going to become a very significant pandemic’
Former Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Robert Redfield said Wednesday he suspects the spreading Ebola outbreak in Africa will spread across three new countries and become a “very significant pandemic.”
“I suspect this is going to become a very significant pandemic, probably going to leak into Tanzania, leak into southern Sudan, maybe leak into Rwanda,” Redfield said during an appearance on NewsNation’s “Elizabeth Vargas Reports.”
“So, it’s going to be very disruptive,” he added.
A majority of the Ebola cases are in Congo and Uganda.
Local health officials in the two nations reported 536 suspected cases, 105 probable cases, 34 confirmed cases and around 134 suspected deaths from the outbreak, according to the CDC.
