Target Type – Volcanogenic Uranium Deposits
-
Tulukuyevsk Caldera in the Streltsovsk district of far eastern Russia is the best example of the target type we are seeking
-
The one 20km wide caldera hosts >700Mlbs U3O8 at grades of >0.1% U O 3 8
-
They are hosted in structural sites within the Caldera
-
They range from strata-form to near vertical in fracture zones near faults
-
� They have Mo and F with the uranium mineralisation
-
There can be moderate to strong alteration associated with mineralisation which has a geochemical signature

Huonfels – Ant Hill (U and Au)
- Huonfels and Ant hill EPM covers the Maureen Caldera
Ant Hill EPM 18890 �
Adjacent to Mega Uranium’s Maureen Deposit - 6.3Mlb U O associated 3 8 resource[1 ] with Palaeozoic volcanics and sediments above an unconformity
Huonfels EPM 18699
The same unconformity and geology extends into Callabonna’s project and known uranium mineralisation within it has the same geological setting as that at the Maureen deposit
- Huonfels now granted
Oak River (U and Au)
-
On the structurally controlled eastern edge of the NRV graben
-
Known uranium occurrences from work in the 1970s.
-
Surface rock chip sampling returned results up to 4.36% U O 3 8
-
Drilling of the southern most prospect returned 0.26% U3O8 over 0.24 metres
-
Untested potential to the north in structural corridor with anomalous rockchip (up to 0.51% U3O8) and soil geochemistry
-
Basal NRV will also be targeted
-
Tenement now granted
Mt Darcy U and Au/Cu
-
dfzgsdfgdsfgsdfg
-
Mount Darcy Project is a caldera collapse feature with porphyry Cu-Au potential.
-
Also has potential for uranium similar to Maureen deposit
-
Mega’s Lineament uranium project some 3 kilometres to the south east
-
MMI soil sampling has generated copper anomaly characteristic of porphyry style (Cu core with Pb-AgZn outer zone)
-
Callabonna intend to:
-
extend the soil sampling,
-
map alteration; and
-
generate drill targets
Delaney and Central gold projects, QLD - JV with Planet Metals Limited
Georgetown
-
Callabonna Holds 15 km of the Delaney Fault Zone (DFZ) in EPM 18181 and EPM 18699
-
The DFZ is the major control on gold in the region
-
Numerous historic workings, past productions mainly oxide
-
Tactical use IP and MMI to find undiscovered sulphide lodes
-
New export potential of ‘dirty gold concentrates’ from refractory ore
-
Callabonna can retain 49% of the project after Planet Metals earn their 51%
Delaney Gold Project – JV with Planet Metals Limited
-
Delaney Gold Prospect is located 22 km north of Georgetown in EPM 18181
-
Drilling ready to commence
-
Callabonna has defined 5 structural targets based on geochemical sampling
-
Historic,18 RC holes were drilled (Target C on map) to follow up the best rockchip results and all holes intersected gold grades of economic significance:
-
12 m @ 10.1 g/t gold in DCV 3
-
9 m @ 3.81 g/t gold in DC1
-
6 m @ 4.1 g/t gold in DCV 1
-
8 m @ 3.88 g/t gold in DCV 2
-
4 m @ 2.66 g/t gold in DCV 4
-
8 m @ 1.96 g/t gold in DC4
-
2m @ 2.37 g/t gold in DC 7
-
Callabonna via a JV with Planet Metals Limited expects immediate drilling to commence of Target D (no previous holes here) about 400m south of Target C
View of the Electric Light pit located south of Delaney (a Deutsche Rohstoff project)
-
Electric Light is located about 4 km south of the Delaney prospect along the DFZ
The resource here is reportedly 80,000 oz much of which has recently been mined from the oxide zone by Deutsche Rohstoff and processed in a CIP plant in Georgetown
Callabonna controls much of the DFZ north and south of here
The sulphide potential remains a bigger opportunity along the entire length of the DFZ
Curnamona
� Sediment hosted uranium in the Frome Embayment � AEM flown to locate channels � Drilled a total of 101 holes most completed to approximately 120 metres � Holding approaching 6,000km[2] now seeking a JV partner to continue exploration � Advanced understanding of the basin and advantage of operating experience � Also seeking to capitalise on experience with strategic farm in options
Curnamona
-
Use of Aircore has
-
enabled more cost efficient drilling
-
Gamma logging is carried
-
out inside the rods
-
Excellent samples are
-
recovered
-
Water discovered can be
-
lifted and sampled
-
Less environmental
-
impact due to less water carting and no need for sumps
Areas intended for farm out
� Callabonna has a large strategic holding in the Frome Embayment approaching 6,000km[2]
� Callabonna has holds the Strangways project in the Artesian Basin 900km[2]
