Mt John Prospect within the highly endowed Yarramba Palaeochannel Immediately along strike from over 50Mlbs of uranium resources at the Honeymoon, Jason and Saffron Deposits. • Previous broadly-spaced drilling was to define the extents of the palaeochannel and was a first pass test for uranium. Dril
Slide 8: 5,000km2 and 250km of additional palaeochannels to explore
5,000km2 and 250km of additional palaeochannels to explore. Numerous prospects to follow-up. • Previously identified prospects with limited broad-spaced drilling that have returned significant intercepts include: • Berber – 1.0m @ 860ppm U3O8 and 0.5mm @ 1,200ppm U3O8 • Yarramba North – 2.0m @ 530pp
Slide 9: Untested exploration target includes 25km of additional interpreted palaeochannel
Untested exploration target includes 25km of additional interpreted palaeochannel The highly-endowed Yarramba palaeochannel is interpreted to split south of the Jason Deposit. • Potential extension to the high-grade mineralisation known at the Jason Deposit – 10.7Mlbs @ 790ppm U3O8. New 25km Unteste
Slide 10: Maiden drilling to begin at Yarramba next week
Maiden drilling to begin at Yarramba next week. First exploration program at the Yarramba Project since 2012. • Drill program will target: • Extensions to high-grade mineralisation at the Oban Deposit with ~80 drill holes for ~8,000m planned; and • New discoveries at Mt John with ~30 holes for ~3,00
