 Hole SGTGC20: 8 m @ 24,89 Au g/t from 22 m  Including 1 m @ 10,12 g/t from 24m and 1m @ 182,90 g/t A total of 95 RC grade control holes have been drilled to date with assay results from 45 holes received thus far. The reported intercepts have widths greater than or equal to 4 m and grade greater than 3,3 g/t. The updated reserves at Gold Tree deposit are expected in Q1 2022. ESG to the fore With ESG (environmental, social and governance) issues rising up the agenda for companies in the mining and minerals industry, Shanta has placed this at the centre of its projects. The company has an industry-leading safety record, with zero Lost Time Injuries (LTIs) since 2017 – surpassing 8-million man-hours. “This achievement is a result of our employee-driven risk mitigation system which focuses on identifying and eliminating incidents well before they occur – a process we are replicating at Singida to ensure we maintain our dis- tinguished safety performance,” says Zurrin. Beyond safety, the company is constantly seek- ing to reduce the impact of its operations on the environment. “We are designing a best-in-class tail- ings storage facility dam at Singida, which has been

RC down hole length. All results are based on 1 m composite samples of RC drilling, Au assays values based on fire assay analysis of a 50 gm at New Luika Site Laboratory. A total of 1,515 m of grade control drilling has been completed as part of phase one drilling pro- gramme including:  Hole SGTGC3: 11 m @ 6,64 Au g/t from 10 m  Hole SGTGC7: 10 m @ 6,8 Au g/t from 16 m  Hole SGTGC12: 14 m @ 8,68 Au g/t from 16 m  Including 1 m @ 20,60 g/t from 24 m and 1 m @ 47,60 g/t from 26 m

100% of employees and contractors at Singida (now totalling over 200 people) are Tanzanian nationals.
