REPTILE URANIUM NAMIBIA (PTY) LTD
-
JORC Code Inferred Mineral Resource totals 77.3 Mt at 0.023% (228 ppm) U3O8 at a cut-off grade of 100 ppm U3O8 for 17,600 tonne or 38.8 million pounds U3O8
-
Inferred Resource target now 50,000 t or 110 million pounds U3O8 by end 2008
-
Four contiguous EPLs covering ~3,000 km[2] that contains historical discoveries of recent gypcrete, calcrete and sand hosted secondary uranium mineralisation
-
Prospected by major companies such as Anglo American, Falconbridge, ElfAquitaine and General Mining in 1970/80’s
-
Extensive shallow recent uranium mineralisation delineated and three feasibility studies completed including bulk sampling and metallurgical testwork
-
Systematic JORC orientated RC drilling has commenced on Anglo’s Tubas project (about 20,000 m completed to date)
-
Area also highly prospective for palaeochannel calcrete hosted uranium mineralisation similar to Langer Heinrich and also Rossing-style hardrock mineralisation
-
Airborne Magnetic and Radiometric survey completed
-
Airborne EM January 2008

THE FUTURE
-
Major expansion of exploration activities in Namibia - 5 RC Rigs to be doing JORC Code and exploration drilling from Feb 2008 - 15,000+ metre per month - Airborne geophysical surveys complete and scheduled
-
Concerted exploration and evaluation effort in Mt Isa area - Ongoing exploration drilling - Mapping - Airborne geophysical surveys
-
Maximise shareholder return on non-core assets - Napperby - Divest to Toro
-
Rum Jungle JV
-
Uranio IPO
-
Queensland NCA – Advanced Negotiations
-
Further drill evaluation of South Australian Airborne EM targets
-
Further growth via pro-active in-house project generation and mergers and acquisitions
