Australian-based Toro energy has commenced a 10,000m drilling program in Namibia to test the Alaskite-style uranium potential of EPL 3669.
Deep Yellow, operating through Reptile Uranium Namibia will manage the program which will evaluate the geologic studies related to western strike extension of uranium mineralisation.
It will also evaluate other targets related to low magnetic responses contained within a stratigraphic and structural corridor.
Drilling program, which is subject to strict environmental and rehabilitation conditions, is expected to be complete in six to eight weeks depending on the results.
Reconnaissance drilling on EPL 3670 will complete the drill program this year.
Deep Yellow holds 65% stake in Nova Energy, Toro Energy and Sixzone Investments hold 25% and 10% equity interest in the company.
