Covering 40holes, the drill program will advance 7,000m, and will focus in areas where earlier drilling intersected two or more lenses, and one hole up to 5 stacked lenses, within various mineralized horizons.

Mineralization at Sefaatli remains open in all directions and step-out drilling will focus on extensions of the reduction zones.

Anatolia Energy managing director Paul Cronin said: "The Sefaatli Project is an exciting uranium district with widespread uranium mineralization and, excitingly, significant new surface radiometric discoveries which warrant immediate drill testing.

"This current program will test the extent of the high grade zones discovered late last year, and I am particularly encouraged by the broader target areas that have been identified."

The drilling will evaluate Sefaatli capability of being developed as a satellite operation for the company’s Temrezli ISR uranium project.
