GI Gem International Resources Inc

Gem International Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:GI) has entered into an option
agreement with Eden Gold Limited (the "Optionor"), to acquire a 80-per-cent
interest in a gold and precious metals property located in the Handeni region of
Tanzania. The property contains a total area of 227.2 square kilometers and
adjoins the western boundary of Canaco Resources Inc.'s Handeni property.


Canaco has made a major gold discovery, including 23 metres of 19.14 grams per
tonne gold in drilling (see Canaco news release in Stockwatch of July 12, 2010).
Canaco's regional exploration has extended the gold trend to 15 kilometres,
discovering new gold mineralization 5 kilometers west-northwest of the Magambazi
Gold Discovery (see Canaco news release in Stockwatch of September 13, 2010), on
their Handeni property in Tanzania. This discovery has created significant
market attention. The Company's immediate plan is to aggressively explore the
project. 


According to Eden Gold Limited, "A number of gold prospects are being exploited
on a small scale by artisanal miners on the property."


Geology

"Recent academic studies (Kabete 2008, age dating) highlight the area as
prospective for traditional (but metamorphosed) Achaean orogenic gold deposits
within the Sukumaland Corridor, the host to major deposits (i.e. Bulyhulu,
Golden Pride, Geita) in the Lake Victoria Goldfields."(Canoco website). Tanzania
is the third largest gold producer in Africa.
