The company has also confirmed high grades of vanadium, phosphate and rare earth mineralization in the multi-commodity prospect, which has a historic resource of 12.9 million tonnes at an average grade of 0.13% U3O8.

The company said that the estimate is for the southern 4.4km of a 10.5km long mineralized trend and does not include commodities other than uranium.

U3O8 president and CEO Dr Richard Spencer said that the mineralization at Berlin is proving to be remarkably consistent.

A second rig will start infill drilling in the second quarter with the aim of potentially delineating an initial 20-25mlb National Instrument 43-101 (NI 43-101) resource in Berlin by the end of 2011, while setting up for further resource expansion in 2012.
