Core lengths are estimated to be 100 percent of true width.
084 Trend
-- Mineralization is hosted in competent, flat-lying sandstones near the
unconformity.
-- The continuing confirmation of the tabular and uniform nature of the
orebody indicates that a room and pillar mining operation should be
feasible.
-- 25 x 25 metre grid drilling confirms consistent high grade uranium
mineralization.
-- Higher grade mineralization along north-west trend.
General Discussion
-- Additional high-grade uranium-silver mineralization may be associated
with similar north-west trends already identified in the North Zone.
-- The Falea Sedimentary Basin appears to be similar in age and geological
setting to the Athabasca Basin in Canada. The Falea Basin hosts high-
grade uranium mineralization similar to that of the Athabasca Basin.
-- To date, only 5-6 percent of area hosting down-hole radiometric
anomalies has been drill tested.
-- Maps showing drill collar locations and cross sections are available on
