ASX Announcement
ASX: DYL
12 December 2014
Drilling Recommences in Namibia
KEY POINTS
-
Deep Yellow’s Namibian operating entity has recommenced drilling with a program devised to test existing palaeochannel mineralisation and other prospective hard rock primary uranium targets.
-
The palaeochannel program on Exclusive Prospecting Licence (’EPL’) 3497 should enhance geological understanding in advance of any further resource or beneficiation testwork.
-
The reconnaissance program on primary uranium targets will drill test targets that were identified in the Predictive Modelling Exercise and comes after extensive follow-up ground work.
-
The palaeochannel program will be completed prior to the Christmas break whilst it is expected that reconnaissance drilling will continue through to at least the end of January 2015.
Advanced uranium explorer, Deep Yellow Limited (‘DYL’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned Namibian operating subsidiary, Reptile Uranium Namibia (Pty) Ltd (‘RUN’), has recommenced drilling in Namibia with a planned two-part drill program.
The first part has focussed on the Tumas Zone 1 Palaeochannel located on EPL3497 (see Figure 1) with the objective of enhancing geological and resource understanding in advance of any further resource or beneficiation testwork. DYL has previously announced encouraging initial results on ore characterisation work conducted by Marenica Energy Limited (‘MEY’) on samples from this deposit. The results indicated that the palaeochannel resource could potentially be upgraded via physical beneficiation by using MEY’s U-pgrade[TM] technology. More comprehensive testwork will be considered if the drill program improves DYL’s confidence in the continuity of the palaeochannel resource and enhances the probability of resource expansion.
The second part of the drill program is a reconnaissance program on EPL3496 designed to test prospective primary uranium targets that were originally identified in the Company’s Predictive Modelling Exercise that have been subject to extensive follow-up groundwork (see Figure 2). The thorough yet low-cost groundwork conducted over the past 18 months has confirmed the prospectivity of the targets to be drilled whilst in the case of others, prospectivity was downgraded. Whilst downgraded targets will not be drill-tested, Induced Polarisation (“IP”) geophysical methods are being considered to test other targets.
DYL’s Managing Director Greg Cochran said “We are excited about being back in the field after a lengthy period where slow but critical work was conducted to assess prospectivity and in the case of the palaeochannels, resource potential. Good results from the palaeochannel program will enable us to consider additional definition and extension drilling and possibly bench scale testwork on samples from the area, whilst success in the reconnaissance program would be the discovery of a (preferably higher-grade) uranium bearing alaskite prospect or even prospects.”

About Deep Yellow Limited
Deep Yellow Limited is an ASX-listed, Namibian-focussed advanced stage uranium exploration company. It also has a listing on the Namibian Stock Exchange.
Deep Yellow’s operations in Namibia are conducted by its 100% owned subsidiary Reptile Uranium Namibia (Pty) Ltd. Its flagship is the high grade alaskite Omahola Project where further studies are being conducted and the next phase of metallurgical testwork is being planned as inputs into a Pre-Feasibility Study. It is also evaluating fast track development options on its other projects including the Tubas Sand Project utilising physical beneficiation techniques it successfully tested in 2011 and the Tumas Palaeochannel Project.
