Terms of the Agreement:
The Terms provide that on granting of the tenements:
-
Subject to any necessary Ministerial consents, Uranium Equities will hold 40% and Cameco 60%,
-
The Parties to jointly fund exploration activities in proportion to their respective interests (UEQ 40%; Cameco 60%), and
-
Cameco will be the Manager of the Joint Venture.
Geology and Exploration Potential:
The Rudall River Uranium Project (“the Project”) lies within the northwest tending Paterson Orogen at the eastern edge of the Pilbara Craton. The Orogen comprises two major components: an older highly deformed crystalline basement, the Palaeoproterozoic Rudall Metamorphic Complex (RMC), and a younger (ProterozoicPhanerozoic), less-deformed, sedimentary cover sequence comprising Yeneena Supergroup.
The Project tenements are located to the east and up to 25 kilometres away from the Kintyre uranium deposit. The Kintyre deposit from published reports[1] may host 62 to 80 million pounds U3O8 with an average grade of 0.30 – 0.40% U3O8. The Kintyre deposit is owned 70% Cameco Corporation and 30% Mitsubishi Development Pty Ltd.
The Project tenements cover historic uranium prospects with the western tenements having analogous structural settings to that seen at Kintyre. TEMPEST electromagnetic targets have recently been identified and remain to be systematically tested.
In commenting on the Rudall River Project agreement with Cameco, UEQ Managing Director, Mark Chalmers said:
“We are excited about this additional Joint Venture with Cameco in this highly prospective area. We look forward to our joint exploration efforts in this area.”
Yours faithfully,
