Slide 4: Significantly expanded land position in Australia
Significantly expanded land position in Australia For personal use only Substantial presence in 2 >50,000t uranium provinces: – 20 projects in the Yilgarn calcrete province – Exceptional land holding in the Gunbarrel Basin
Slide 5: Continuing programme to define inferred resource at Wondinong
Continuing programme to define inferred resource at Wondinong For personal use only Radiometric discovery by WMC in 1971 WMC reconnaissance drilling on 1500m lines Mineralisation over area at least 7 by 2 km 590 drill holes in 3 programmes 60% of previously completed holes have eU3O8 value
Slide 6: Uranium mineralisation
Uranium mineralisation For personal use only 28% of completed holes contain above 200ppm eU3O8 Open to north, northwest and south Majority of holes have higher assay than logged U values Most northerly line has given the best results to date
Slide 7: The Swedish Alum Shale Projects
The Swedish Alum Shale Projects For personal use only Aura has a significant landholding in the major Alum Shale uranium province of Sweden Alum Shale contains vast resources of uranium – Largest uranium province in Europe 77 million pounds of uranium in inferred resources within 1400 metres o
Slide 8: The Alum Shale (2)
The Alum Shale (2) For personal use only Government interpretation indicates that the mineralised Alum Shale extends into all of the Aura application areas Substantial credits from vanadium, molybdenum and nickel – No previous assessment of the Alum Shale has taken these into account Targeting
Slide 9: Sweden Western applications: Intersections and outcrops
Sweden Western applications Intersections and outcrops For personal use only Aura has applied for 40 square km of ground in its Marby and Häggån applications Alum Shale outcrops in both applications Average drill hole intersection on margins of applications is 77 metres at 200ppm U3O8/ 170ppm
Slide 10: Marby section
Marby section For personal use only 4m @ 189 ppm U, 339 ppm Mo 32m @ 198 ppm U, 345 ppm Mo 76m @ 166 ppm U, 289 ppm Mo Inc. 23m @ 203 ppm U, 351 ppm Mo
Slide 11: Sweden Eastern areas
Sweden Eastern areas For personal use only In-ground metal values are at their maximum for the district Better intersections occur in the uppermost part of the Alum Shale – Individual 2 metre samples have maximum values of 263ppm U and 0.046% Mo.
Slide 12: Sweden Eastern Area section
Sweden Eastern Area section For personal use only
Slide 13: Comparison with other deposit types
Comparison with other deposit types For personal use only Alum Shale has grades similar to alaskite- type deposits found at Rossing in Namibia. – Bannerman Resources Wel Witchia Project inferred resource of 27 million pounds at 186ppm U Overlap with grades for large calcrete deposits such as Tre
Slide 14: The opportunity for Aura in Sweden
The opportunity for Aura in Sweden For personal use only Sweden has more than 1000 years of mining history Power generation 50% nuclear Exceptional infrastructure – power, fresh water, transport – Rail through the applications Modern mining law with few impediments to exploration and develop
Slide 15: Gunbarrel Basin JV: Sandstone-hosted uranium
Gunbarrel Basin JV: Sandstone-hosted uranium For personal use only Gunbarrel Basin – a major, but largely untested uranium province Known for its large individual deposits – Mulga Rock 46,000t U3O8 – Ponton “15,000-20,000t U3O8” Poorly explored, even around Ponton/Mulga Rock Aura has the lar
Slide 16: Gunbarrel Basin
Gunbarrel Basin For personal use only Known uranium deposits order of magnitude larger on the WA side of the basin No reported exploration in northern Projects Joint venture with Mega Redport Airborne surveys commenced
Slide 17: Africa Alliance with GCM
Africa Alliance with GCM For personal use only Global Coal Management – Project developers and managers – Extensive experience in Africa – Access to the London markets Gives Aura access to projects that would not be available to a junior Building on networks throughout the continent Exceptio
Slide 18: The immediate future
The immediate future For personal use only Sweden Alum Shale uranium project – Build project team – Commence metallurgical testwork – Drilling to confirm thickness and grades Define an inferred resource at Wondinong Drill test Lake Way South, Lake Moore and other calcrete targets Define dril
