Dear friends of gold panning,
This is short information from Mats & Katycia in Madagascar about our
activities on proven gold bearing land in eastern Madagascar.
This country is still virgin ground.
In 2007 we will make prospectors investigations in our two properties
in the Vavatenina auferious area, were we are neighbours to the Pan
African Mining Company's property A-1, covering about 300 square
kilometres.
Watch their website (Vavatenina) :
http://www.panafrican.com/props_Vavatenina.asp
(Their map is not correct)!
In 2006 we claimed:
100% of Vavatenina #1 = 25,00 square kilometres, patented claim,
expires for extension
2015
100% of Vavatenina #2 = 18,75 square kilometres, patented claim,
expires for extension
2015
In June 2007 we have added 12,50 more square kilometres west of
Vavatenina #2, situated more remote and close to the rainforest.
By claiming additional land we now control more than 15 kilometres of
Sahambendrana River, witch could be a target for a larger future
dredge operation.
Our current mission is to identify the grades of values and gold
mineralization by methodical prospecting and sampling.
We do prospecting by auger drilling on the surface, the banks and in
the hills, were we also use a Gemini 3 deep detector.
In the minor rivers, we use a hydro energy method for dredging deep
sample holes.
Our results may be offered professional mining companies active in
Madagascar and to people abroad who are interested in sharing our
experiences for adventure in Madagascar.
Basically are the following activities covered in our planning for
second half of 2007:
1 - July-August:
No prospecting activity because of frequent raining and cold water in
the streams.
Adventure and gold panning activities will be announced and offered on
Ebay and other auction sites.
(See below).

2 - September-October 2007
Prospecting and sampling at a number of selected areas in Lakazana
River system, in the eastern part of Vavatenina #2.
A selection of soil samples from the auger drilling program and
concentrates will be
sent to Canada for fire assay for gold.
/The banks of this minor stream were partly worked by the French in
two periods 1901-1916 & 1946-1949.
Past June, we made a 20 holes auger sampling test close to a former
French old channel working. All samples showed up with fine gold./
3 - October - November 2007
Prospecting deep sample holes by dredging down through ancient
alluvials all to the bedrock in special selected locations worth
further discovery.
A selection of black sand concentrates will be sent to Canada for
multi spectra analyses for precious metals and rare earth elements.
Building one more field station in Vavatenina #2 for prospecting
materials storage.
The field station we set up in the village Antanambao in May will be
opened for lodging our gold panning guests in October - November this
year.
It's a no facilities home situated in the remote countryside of
peaceful, green and unforgettable Madagascar.
A simple base for gold panning adventures on virgin ground for
foreigners.

Please remark that we mostly will be out in the countryside
prospecting during the following month.
Likewise, we are out of office long periods and our time for answering
questions will be limited.
Please also note that we speak and understand the following
languages:
French, English, Malagasy & Scandinavian languages.
We have also minor skill in speaking German.
We hope that we as insiders in Madagascar by this message start a good
movement for opening this beautiful island for a short number of
international gold panners.
