(the “Company”) (TSXV: SMB, Frankfurt: GDA, OTCQX: SMBZF) is pleased to announce Sproule Associates Limited (Calgary) as having been engaged to carry out an evaluation on the Company’s 100% interest in Block 2A in Kenya and provide an evaluation report compliant to both NI 51-101, and a Competent Persons Report (‘CPR’ – for European investment standards).

Sproule has considerable evaluation experience in Kenya and especially in the area of Block 2A where they have previously provided similar reports for blocks adjacent to Block 2A. The Company expects the report to be completed in the next 60 days.
