The ground spectrometer surveying conducted during July and August has found background readings to be of the order of 1 to 3 equivalent ppm uranium (ppmeU), with an anomalous area of about 6.5 hectares returning numerous readings over 10 ppmeU.
Infill traverses at 25m line spacing identified areas returning common readings over 15ppmeU, to a maximum of 25.6ppmeU.
More detailed infill surveying of the most anomalous area indicated a strongly anomalous linear zone measuring approximately 20m by 100m, according to the company.
Point readings taken at ground level in this zone returned values up to 99ppmeU.
Readings up to 267 ppm eU were recorded at 35 cm depth in a shallow pit excavated in intensely weathered bedrock.
The prospect area is a valley incised into deeply and variably weathered early Proterozoic metamorphic rocks, with soil and scree cover.
Assay results from very limited prior geochemical sampling (11 rock-chip samples) included results of 45.6 ppm uranium and 3,040 ppm copper.
