Universal Resources Limited (Universal) is pleased to announce that it has reached agreement with Deep Yellow Limited (DYL ) on the terms of an Earn-In Joint Venture on EPM 14367 located 20km northeast of Mt Isa.

The tenement is located 10km north of Summit’s/Paladin’s Anderson deposit and southeast of their Valhalla, Skal and Bikini deposits.

Historic exploration over the tenement was typical of the area and comprises surface trenching and shallow RC/diamond drilling. Surface values for grab samples range up to 4,000ppm U3O8 with visible carnotite mineralisation seen at surface. Universal identified 17 surface anomalies of varying intensity that need to be evaluated further. Extensive zones of hematite-silica-carbonate alteration associated with anomalous uranium values are typical of such anomalies.

DYL plans to carry out RC percussion drilling programme as follow-up to the better anomalies.
