Australian specialist miner Base Resources said on Tuesday that it plans to start exploratory drilling in Tanzania in the first half of this year.
It is also conducting drilling to determine whether the life of its $305 million Kenyan titanium mine might be extended, Managing Director Tim Carstens told a conference call with reporters in Nairobi. The project, Kenya's largest mining investment, is in the coastal region of Kwale and has roughly eight years left to run.
