In the first
half of 2009 Whetstone has reviewed and consolidated its North American land
position with a view to seeking farm out opportunities and relinquishing non
prospective ground. Paul Nagerl,
President and CEO, has been working closely with Allan Dolan and the Clarity
Minerals team to identify new, more advanced, projects in Africa where the
"Clarity connection" gives Whetstone a competitive advantage. Paul and his team have been creative in securing
non dilutive sources of funds, including the sale of portions of the company's
significant geophysical data base as well as renting out other assets such as
the Eppler Lake field camp to the Manitoba Geological Survey. The team is focused on "finding the right
asset for the current environment" first. Once secured, Whetstone intends to
finance off the back of this newly created value. Savannah's Uranium PotentialWednesday July 8, 2009
Uranium is a metal of increasing interest on the world stage. It will be a focus for Savannah's two "spin out" companies along with gold and base metals. Several companies, including Mantra Resources ,are actively and successfully exploring for uranium in Tanzania. A number of our licences hold uranium potential based on airborne radiometric surveys as well as promising surface features similar to those currently being evaluated by competitors. Programmes will be carried out in Q3 of this year to ground test these prospective areas. Read MoreCompany Spin Out UpdateWednesday July 8, 2009
During the first half of 2009 Savannah has been busy compiling and reanalysing its 2008 results in preparation of the proposed "spin out" of the company's gold, base metal and uranium interests into Dhahabu Resources and Mwamba Minerals. This has included the development of separate work programmes and budgets for each company as well as the identification of ground to be "farmed out" to several parties that have expressed interest. Don Duncan, CEO will be overseeing the commencement of our uranium exploration programmes later in July as well as meeting several joint venture candidates in Dar es Salaam.

Whetstone ANNOUNCES FULL CONVERSION OF PROMISSORY NOTES Wampum Gold Prospect AnnouncementThursday December 4, 2008
Whetstone ANNOUNCES 7.9 GRAMS GOLD/TONNE OVER 2.4 METRES FROM DRILLING AT THE WAMPUM GOLD PROSPECT
Hole WL08-16 was drilled to the east of the Main Zone, tested previously with holes WL 07-01 and WL07-02. No significant values were obtained suggesting that the zone is truncated or trending northward in this area. Samples from trenches at the Main Zone returned up to 4.65 g Au/t over 3.65 metres and channel sampling returned up to 10.53 g Au/t over 3.30 metres (see Western Warrior's press release dated March 25, 2008).
Notes: (1) Lengths are provided as drill intersected widths only. True widths have not been determined at this time. Uncut assays only reported as g Au/t. (2) Hole locations are given as UTM coordinates using the projection NAD83 Zone 15N. The Wampum prospect is located in an area of excellent infrastructure. The prospect forms part of Whetstone's larger 100% owned Kenora District gold exploration portfolio which includes the Bluffpoint and Off Lake projects. Drilling at Bluffpoint completed in 2007 intersected up to 13.46 metres of 2.90 g Au/t (see Western Warrior's press release dated June 20, 2007). Quality Control Drill core was logged and mineralized intervals were split on site at Nestor Falls, Ontario, with split samples being shipped to Accurassay Laboratories in Thunder Bay for sample preparation and analysis. Gold was analyzed utilizing the Fire Assay method with an AA finish using a 30 gram sample. The drilling program was carried out under the direction of Rob Foy, P. Geo., Senior Geologist for Whetstone, a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.

Anthony RevittSaturday October 18, 2008
Don Duncan is very pleased to announce that as from mid October, Anthony Revitt will be joining Savannah, to add considerable strength to the diamond team as General Manager-Diamond Exploration. A native Briton, Anthony earned an M.Sc. from Imperial College in 1989 and now brings eighteen years of increasingly senior exploration experience in sub-Saharan Africa to the company. His previous posting, until earlier this year, was as Technical Manager for De Beers in DRC. He is a former colleague of Don's when they worked together in Tanzania and he is very happy to be returning to the country where he was part of a team which discovered over 100 kimberlites in the 1990's. He hopes to better that success with Savannah. Read More Strong Crop YieldsFriday September 5, 2008

Savannah's Non-Executive directors, Barry Hawthorne and Richard Wake Walker, spent the week of May 20th touring Savannah's field operations and regional offices. They met with management and staff who supplied updates on recent exploration activities and interesting new results. Mr. Wake Walker had this to say, "I had not realized just what potential Tanzania possesses for mining development, especially in diamonds and gold. Compared to West and Central Africa, Tanzania is clearly a much more interesting and significant prospect. With its huge land position, and technical expertise, Savannah is well placed to exploit Tanzania's mineral possibilities." Mr. Hawthorne commented that he was most impressed at the speed with which a well motivated field team has been created and the enthusiasm displayed by the field, lab and office personnel. He went on to say that the active engagement with the local communities in the field was also impressive, particularly in respect of job creation and training in rural areas where few such opportunities normally exist.

Specific impulse (usually abbreviated Isp) is a way to describe the efficiency of rocket and jet engines. It represents the impulse (change in momentum) per unit of propellant. The higher the specific impulse, the less propellant is needed to gain a given amount of momentum. Isp is a useful value to compare engines, much like "miles per gallon" is used for cars. A propulsion method with a higher specific impulse is more propellant-efficient. Propellant is normally measured either in units of mass, or in units of weight at sea level on the Earth. If mass is used, specific impulse is an impulse per unit mass, which dimensional analysis shows to be a unit of speed, and so specific impulses are often measured in meters per second, and are often termed effective exhaust velocity. However, if propellant weight is used instead, an impulse divided by a force (weight) turns out to be a unit of time, and so specific impulses are measured in seconds. These two formulations are both widely used, and differ from each other by a factor of g, the dimensioned constant of gravitational acceleration at the surface of the Earth.

Rosicky Returns to GunnersThe midfielder played and scored in Saturday's 3-1 triumph over Slovakia but, as the Czechs had already secured qualification for Euro 2008, Arsenal asked if he could return to his club. Rosicky insists the victory was tougher than last year's 3-0 demolition of Slovakia in the first qualification meeting between the sides. Read MoreFirst Press ReleaseThursday November 15, 2007
