In Eritrea läuft nur Exploration; tiefste Sohle der Hölle.

In Quebec suchen die auch, aber ohne drive.

Schwerpunkt ist eindeutig Tansania, südlich vom Victoria See

befindet sich die Open Pit Mine. Soll später in Untertage_Mine

ausgebaut werden. Im Umkreis exploriert MDN intensiv weiter.

MDN: First Drilling Programme in Eritrea

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--
(CCNMatthews - April 4, 2006) -

MDN NORTHERN MINING (MINIERES DU NORD) (TSX:MDN) is pleased

to announce the start of a drilling campaign at the Harab Suit exploration

licence in northwest Eritrea. The 260 km2 area is underlain by

metavolcanic and metasediments and dioritic intrusives, and is

traversed by major shear zones. One of these shear zones hosts the

abandoned Tamanti gold mine, which was operated during the Italian

colonial era in Eritrea during the late 1930s.

Two prime targets have been identified from extensive surface sampling

programs conducted over the last two years, the Tamanti mine area itself

and "Area 2", approximately 4 km to the south west of the mine. Access

to these sites required the rehabilitation of some 40 km of old roads with

the use of heavy earthmoving equipment.

It is planned to drill test Area 2 with at least fifteen reverse circulation

inclined drill holes arranged in "fences" across the strike of the shear

zone at hole depths of between 60 and 120 m. It is then planned to move

the drill to the site of the old Tamanti mine, where more than twelve sites

have been located to test the extent of the mineralization identified from

surface sampling.

The Australian drilling contractor General Exploration Drilling has been

retained to carry out the programs. The samples will be crushed and

prepared in Eritrea by a local laboratory and despatched to Genalysis

Laboratories in Perth, Australia for assay. The drilling program at Area 2

has been designed by Martin Taylor, P.Geo., who is a Qualified Person in terms of NI 43-101.

MDN NORTHERN MINING

is a Montreal-based Canadian exploration company that holds a 30%

interest in the Tulawaka gold project (Tanzania), which went into

commercial production in March of 2005, a majority interest in 25

adjacent mineral licenses in Tanzania, a majority interest in three

licenses in Eritrea, and other gold and base metal exploration interests

in Quebec, Canada.

Map of Currie Rose Option

The Currie Rose gold property completely surrounds Saskatchewan's largest gold mine, the producing Seabee mine property, located 120 kilometres northeast of La Ronge, Saskatchewan at Laonil Lake. The Currie Rose property is comprised of three claims consisting of 11,000 arces.

In November 1994, Claude Resources entered into an option agreement with Currie Rose to acquire a 100% interest in the property (subject to a 30% net profits interest in favor of Currie Rose). Claude was required to make expenditures of $75,000 in 1994 and is required to make expenditures of $100,000 per year in each of the years 1995 through 1998, unless commercial production is achieved during this period. In the event commercial production is not achieved before 1999, Claude is required to incur additional expenditures and payments to Currie Rose totaling $200,000 per year in each of the years 1999 through 2001 unless commercial production is achieved during this period. Claude also issued 34,000 Common Shares to Currie Rose pursuant to the Option Agreement.

Geological Setting
Gold deposits are hosted in northeast-trending shear structures within the Laonil Lake Intrusive Complex. This complex consists of a sequence of mafic intrusive layers or sheets commonly capped by dioritic units. A sample of the dioritic phase was dated by zircon U/Pb at 1889+9 Ma (Chiarenzelli, 1989) Mafic layering within the intrusive body varies from melanocratic gabbro to ultramafic compositions. Mafic volcanic rocks, valcaniclastic rocks, and mafic to intermediate sedimentary units of variable thickness occur throughout the intrusive body as rafts or xenoliths. Numerous later intermediate to felsic intrusive rocks occur throughout the complex. These include intermediate dikes, quartz diorite dikes, and feldspar porphyry dikes.

To the north and northeast, the Laonil Lake Intrusive Complex is unconformably overlain by felsic valcanic-volcaniclastic rocks and conglomerates of the Pine Lake metavolcanic sequence. To the west, the complex is bounded by a sequence of earlier granodioritic to dioritic gneisses, and to the south by the younger (1859+5 Ma) Eyaphaise granodioritic pluton (Chiarenzelli, 1989). A large scale regional lineament of intense deformation, the Laonil Lake Shear Zone, is located at the contact between the eyaphaise Pluton and the Laonil Lake Intrusive Complex, and serves as a structural boundary between these two bodies.

Gold mineralization occurs in quartz + tourmaline + sulphide vein systems within an extensive network of anastomosing subparallel shear structures, which crosscut the Laonil Lake Intrusive Complex. The structures trend between 045 degrees to 085 degrees, and dip subvertically or steeply north. Three discrete subsets of structures have been recognized trending at 070 degrees, 085 degrees, and 045 degrees respectively. The 070 degree structures contain the auriferous veins (zones 2b and 2c, 5-1, and 161). In addition, anomalous gold values have been returned from the volcanic-sedimentary rock sequence on the property.

1998 Exploration Program

The company has been informed by Claude Resources Inc. that processing of Currie Rose ore will begin in 1999.

Claude is presently drifting on the 2 vein at the 110 metre level, 190 metre level and 290 metre level on the Currie Rose side of the boundary zone. Over the next few months they will continue with the underground development in preparation for mining the ore.

Over the past year, Claude has installed a shaft and hoist and increased the mill capacity to 700 tonnes per day.

Cash operating costs at the Seabee mine were reduced by 22% to US $168 per ounce in 1998 compared to US $215 per ounce in 1997.

High grade gold intercept in Tanzania’s Tulawaka area
===========================================

'18-DEC-06

BLANTYRE (Mineweb.com) --

Tanzania Royalty Exploration has announced that one of its royalty partners,
MDN Northern Mining
has made a significant gold discovery on one of its prospecting licenses

in Tanzania’s Tulawaka area. Tanzania Royalty Exploration (TSE:TNX,

AMEX:TRE) is a unique, publicly-traded financial gold company whose business strategy is to acquire royalty interests in gold production from its core assets in the Lake Victoria greenstone belt (LVGB) of Tanzania where a reported 40 million ounces of gold have been discovered since the mid-1990's.

Tanzania Royalty Exploration is presently the largest landholder in the LVGB - one of the most prolific goldfields in the world. Established producers in this belt rank within the lowest percentile globally in terms of cash production costs.

MDN Northern Mining (TSX: MDN) is a Montreal-based Canadian
===========================
exploration company that holds a 30% interest in the Tulawaka gold mine (Tanzania), a majority interest in 25 adjacent mineral licenses in Tanzania, a majority interest in one license in Eritrea, and other gold and base metal exploration interests in Quebec, Canada.

A press release issued by the company says Rotary Air Blast (RAB) drilling in the Mnezeki area returned one of the highest grade gold intercepts reported from the region in recent years: 30.08 g/t gold (0.88 oz/ton) over 6.0 metres (19.7 ft) from 41 to 47 metres (134.5 -- 154.2 ft.) down hole. The fact a RAB drill rig was utilized for this phase of drilling precludes the accurate determination of true width and orientation of the mineralized intersections.

"These results confirm that our criteria for selecting properties and royalty partners within the Lake Victoria Gold Belt are sound from a business and technical perspective and we expect to see many more discoveries like this in the future," said Tanzanian Royalty Chairman and CEO, James E. Sinclair.

According to the release, the drill programme has been stopped because of heavy rains currently being experienced in this east African country. The drilling will however resume early 2007 following a thorough reassessment of all existing data.

“The high grade target area is located 20 kilometres east of the Tulawaka Gold Mine which is owned by Barrick Gold (70 percent) and MDN (30 percent),” reads part of the press release. “MDN is earning a 100 percent interest in this particular property in exchange for work and other commitments including a sliding scale Net Smelter Royalty payable to the Company upon commercial production.”

It says samples were analyzed by fire assay at the SGS laboratory in Tanzania, certified under international standards. “A rigorous programme of analytical grade verification implemented by MDN Northern Mining included 12% control samples. The drilling was carried out under the management of geologist Brian Lloyd, and supervised by geologist Dominique Fournier, Ph.D., who acted as a qualified person in accordance with NI 43-101.”

The main mineralized body previously known below the open pit was located between sections -400 and -200. Only small lenses were known outside the main body. The 2005 and 2006 drilling allowed us to confirm both the continuity and the grade of the main body mineralization and defining new mineralized lenses in its peripheral zones. These results also confirm the particularly high grade nature of the auriferous mineralization at depth.

These drilling results below the Tulawaka Mine were provided to the partners by the project operator who supervised the program. The samples were analyzed at the SGS Laboratory in Tanzania, certified in accordance with international standards. This information was reviewed by Dominique Fournier, Ph.D., that acted as qualified person in accordance with NI 43-101.

The Tulawaka Project is a joint-venture between MDN Northern Mining (30%) and Pangea Goldfields (70%), a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Barrick Gold Corporation and project operator through its own Tanzanian subsidiary Pangea Minerals Ltd. MDN Northern Mining is an exploration company of which its head office is located in Montreal, Canada. In Tanzania, as well as the 30% participating interest in the Tulawaka Gold Mine, MDN Northern Mining holds a controlling participation in 20 prospecting licenses located within a 50-kilometre radius from the mine.
