First pass scout drilling was completed at the Kaburi Prospect, with the following results.
Reverse Circulation Drill Holes
* KRC009: 9m @ 9.2 g/t Au
* KRC008: 1m @ 55.9 g/t Au
* KRC004: 7m @ 1.1 g/t Au
* KRC005: 7m @ 1.0 g/t Au
* KRC012: 1m @ 7.3 g/t Au
* KRC011: 135m @ 0.35g/t Au

In late 2011, Azimuth drilled 12 Reverse Circulation scout holes for 2,141m and 2 Diamond Drill holes for 349m to test potential mineralisation beneath a 200m diameter, 5-15 metres deep, water filled pit which was the last mined pit embedded within an area of extensive backfilled artisanal workings. As reported December 19, 2011, drilling intersected a small altered and mineralised granitoid which intrudes mafic-intermediate volcanics and volcaniclastics.
In other results, Resource drilling was completed on the Smarts Prospect and yielded further significant results.
SDT438
* 13m @ 14.8g/t Au from 108 metres
* 8m @ 10.68g/t Au from 128 metres
SDT477
* 9m @ 32.87g/t Au from 58 metres
* 19m @ 8.53g/t Au from 69 metres
SDT471

Results reported today are generally in accordance with previously released drill results. Two of the drill holes released today are twins of previously reported drill holes, and were each drilled within 7 metres of the previously reported drill hole. Results of diamond drilling twin holes has in one case lowered the grade and in the other case raised the grade of previously reported RC drill holes.
Azimuth has completed all resource drilling at the Smarts Deposit and is awaiting results of approximately 2,000 samples.
