The firm has carried out a ten hole diamond drill program on the Ristimonttu prospect of the project for a total of 1065m.
Drill hole AREVA DH 1 has intersected 11.3 m at 0.68% uranium oxide (U3O8) including 3.7 m at 1.53% U3O8 from 28.3 m, with true thickness of the mineralized interval estimated at 8.6 m.
Mawson has just completed a 5.4 line km geophysical IP survey at Riutta project which consisted of nine lines at 100m spacing to aid in the delineation and define continuity of the sulphide and pitchblende bearing mineralized ore shoots.
