Uranium Equities has consolidated a dominant position covering more than 5,000 square kilometres in this world-class uranium province with proven potential for high-grade discoveries. The ARUF hosts Energy Resources of Australia Limited’s Ranger Uranium Mine and Jabiluka Deposit, as well as the historical high-grade Nabarlek Deposit. The Field’s mineral endowment, including mined resources, exceeds 500 million pounds of uranium[(1)] .

The recent discovery of high-grade uranium by Cameco Australia Pty Ltd at its Angularli Prospect – where drill-hole WRD0084 returned intersections including 12.2m @ 1.1% U3O8 and 20.2m @ 5.2% U3O8[(2)] – has added to the prospectivity of the region. Uranium Equities’ tenement applications lie adjacent to this exciting new discovery.

About Uranium Equities
