Step-out Drilling Intersects More Significant Uranium at Nabarlek as 2023 Exploration Gathers Momentum

Current drilling programme to be expanded following recent drilling success

HIGHLIGHTS

  • The ongoing 2023 Reverse Circulation (RC) drill campaign at the Nabarlek Uranium Project in the NT is delivering exciting uranium results at several prospects surrounding the historical Nabarlek Uranium Mine (24Mlbs @ 1.84% U3O8 produced).

  • At the U40 Prospect , step-out drilling north and south of previous high-grade intercepts has successfully identified the main uranium-bearing fault zone, the U40 Fault, with new uranium equivalent (eU3O8) intercepts from this area including:

  • 33.7m @ 0.12% (1,200ppm) eU3O8 from 59m (RC 88) – and open to the south.

  • 4.9m @ 0.38% (3,800ppm) eU3O8 from 42m (RC 65), including:

    • 0.5m @ 1.68% (16,800ppm) eU3O8; 0.7m @ 0.58% (5,800ppm) eU3O8
  • 23.7m @ 0.19% (1,900ppm) eU3O8 from 60m (RC 73), including:

    • 0.4m @ 1.07% (10,700ppm) eU3O8; 0.2m @ 0.52% (5,200ppm) eU3O8

The uranium mineralisation is open to the south, where the U40 Fault is interpreted to continue for several kilometres, linking up with last year’s uranium intercepts at the U42 Prospect.

  • At Nabarlek South , RC drilling has, for the first time, encountered uranium mineralisation at the unconformity between the Kombolgie Sandstone and the Cahill Formation, with significant results including:

  • 2.0m @ 0.77% (7,700ppm) U3O8 and 0.6g/t Au from 132m (RC 37)

  • 3.5m @ 0.18% (1,800ppm) eU3O8 from 148m (RC 99)

Both holes show significant bed-rock alteration at the unconformity, consistent with other major uranium deposits in the region, including those at the Nabarlek and world-class Ranger Uranium Mine. DevEx believes that these new intercepts are indicative of a nearby uranium-bearing structure – possibly the southern continuation of the Nabarlek Fault.

  • Exploring for large, high-grade uranium deposits similar to the nearby world-class Ranger Uranium Mine remains a priority focus for DevEx. The recent results provide compelling grounds for an expansion to the 2023 exploration campaign, with in-fill and step-out drilling now underway.

DevEx Resources Limited (ASX: DEV; DevEx or the Company) is pleased to advise that it has made a successful start to the 2023 drilling campaign at its 100%-owned Nabarlek Uranium Project , located in the heart of the world-class Alligator Rivers Uranium Province (ARUP) in the Northern Territory, Australia.

DevEx is currently prioritising its drilling campaign along two major uranium-bearing fault zones, the Nabarlek Fault (the Nabarlek South and Nabarlek North Prospects) and the U40 Fault (the U40 and U42 Prospects) (see Figure 1). Both fault zones are known to host high-grade uranium mineralisation, including the former Nabarlek Uranium Mine, considered Australia’s highest-grade uranium mine with past production of 24Mlbs @ 1.84% U3O8.

==> picture [358 x 274] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 1DevEx’s RC drilling is currently targeting multiple uranium prospects surrounding the historical Nabarlek Uranium Mine

Recent Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling at both the U40 and Nabarlek South Prospects has intersected significant unconformity-associated uranium mineralisation in strongly altered basement rocks, either at the unconformity or in faults beneath. An expanded drill programme to follow up these results is now underway.

The discovery of large, high-grade uranium deposits similar to either the Nabarlek Uranium Deposit or the nearby world-class Ranger Uranium Mine – which produced 300Mlbs @ 0.23% U3O8 over 40 years (‘Ranger-type’) – remains the priority focus for DevEx.

DevEx Managing Director, Brendan Bradley, said: “Our 2023 exploration campaign is off to a great start with significant uranium intercepts returned in multiple holes at several prospects. The focus of step-out and in-fill drilling is along two key corridors – one along trend from the historic Nabarlek Mine, the other to the north-east along the U40-U42 trend.

“Apart from the growing footprint and scale of the mineralisation, we are also excited to see new high-grade mineralisation being encountered at the unconformity between Kombolgie Sandstone and the regionally significant Cahill Formation – a classic geological host to some of the largest deposits in the district such as the world-class Ranger Uranium Mine. These exciting developments have prompted us to expand and extend the current drilling program.”

U40 Prospect

At the U40 Prospect, previous high-grade uranium and gold intercepts (2010), including 6m @ 7.6% U3O8 and 0.7g/t Au from 65m (NAR 7492) and 4.8m @ 1.9% U3O8 and 4.5g/t Au (NAR7493) from 80m, were intersected in altered Cahill Formation rocks just prior to the downturn in the uranium market. There has been only limited exploration since to follow up on these results.

A new geological assessment of the structural controls to the uranium mineralisation at U40 has identified a north-south fault system as the primary host to the uranium mineralisation (the U40 Fault Zone). This fault dislocates both the overlying sandstone (unconformity) and a flat dolerite intrusion. Both the sandstone and shallow, flat-lying dolerite have proven to be an effective mask to the high-grade uranium mineralisation that lies beneath.

DevEx’s 2023 campaign of step-out drilling to the north and south of these historical intercepts has successfully extended the uranium-bearing U40 Fault Zone for several hundred metres (see Figure 1), returning new uranium equivalent intercepts, including:

  • 4.9m @ 0.38% eU3O8 from 42m (RC 65), including:

  • 0.5m @ 1.68% eU3O8; 0.7m @ 0.58% eU3O8

==> picture [202 x 40] intentionally omitted <==

Page | 3

==> picture [236 x 60] intentionally omitted <==

  • 23.7m @ 0.19% eU3O8 from 60m (RC 73) including:

  • 0.4m @ 1.07% eU3O8; 0.2m @ 0.52% eU3O8

  • 33.7m @ 0.12% eU3O8 from 59m (RC 88) – open to the south

The uranium mineralisation remains open to the south (Figures 3, 4 and 5), where the U40 Fault is interpreted on the regional magnetics to continue for several kilometres beneath the flat-lying dolerite, linking up with mineralisation at the U42 Prospect (Figure 6).

At the U42 Prospect, drilling is also underway to follow-up on last year’s uranium intercept of 2m @ 0.59% U3O8 from 188m (22NBRC014), with new uranium equivalent intercepts north of 22NBRC014 including:

o 33.2m @ 0.06% eU3O8 from 39m (RC 78), including:

0.1m @ 0.50% eU3O8; 0.2m @ 0.60% eU3O8

Considering that the U40 Fault Zone is interpreted to lie immediately to the east (Figure 6), DevEx plans to significantly expand its drilling campaign to the east of the uranium intercepts reported in RC78 and 22NBRC014.

An expanded programme of in-fill and step-out RC drilling is planned to follow up on these recent intercepts at U40 and U42 and the broader U40 Fault Zone between these prospects.

Nabarlek South Prospect

At Nabarlek South , RC drilling (Figure 7), originally targeting uranium in dolerite, has for the first time encountered uranium mineralisation at the unconformity between the Kombolgie Sandstone and underlying Cahill Formation, with laboratory (U3O8) and uranium equivalent (eU3O8) results including:

o 2.0m @ 0.77% U3O8 and 0.6g/t Au from 132m (RC 37)

o 3.5m @ 0.18% eU3O8 from 148m (RC 99)

Both holes show significant haematite and chlorite bedrock alteration at the unconformity, consistent with other uranium deposits in the region, including those at the Nabarlek and worldclass Ranger Uranium Mine. DevEx believes that these new intercepts at the unconformity are indicative of a nearby uranium-bearing fault zone – possibly the southern continuation of the Nabarlek Fault.

The Company’s 2023 RC campaign originally targeted the uranium mineralisation in the overlying dolerite at Nabarlek South. Previous uranium intercepts from the 2022 drill campaign, including 10.1m @ 1.10% U3O8 from 124m (22NBDD02), made for a compelling exploration target.

The relationship between the uranium in the overlying dolerite and these new results at the underlying unconformity is still unclear. However, the potential for an underlying uranium-bearing fault (Nabarlek Fault) distributing uranium into the unconformity and the overlying dolerite is very plausible.

An expanded RC drilling campaign is now underway to test the area surrounding the recent uranium intercepts in holes RC37 and RC99 for the postulated source to the uranium mineralisation south of the dolerite.

Figure 8 : Nabarlek South Section C : Holes RC37 and 99 have intersected significant uranium mineralisation in altered bedrock at the unconformity between the Kombolgie Sandstone and the Cahill Formation. Both the uranium, alteration style and associated gold mineralisation are all suggestive of a uranium-bearing fault zone in the near vicinity of these intercepts.

Nabarlek North

In addition to the results above, DevEx has identified significant opportunity to drill test the Nabarlek Fault to the north-west of the Nabarlek Uranium Mine. Ground gravity surveys and a recent review of historical drilling has shown that a significant portion of the uranium-bearing Nabarlek Fault remains untested inside the Nabarlek Mining Lease (Figures 9 and 10).

The Company is awaiting approval from the NT Government to add this target area into the current drill campaign.

Both its proximity to the Nabarlek Uranium Mine and its location inside the Nabarlek Mining Lease justify this area as a high-priority target.

1 eU3O8 grades reported are calculated equivalent uranium grades derived from calibrated total gamma probes and not chemical assay results. Collection and conversion of total gamma data was undertaken by Borehole Wireline Pty Ltd for holes RC 65, 73,78 88,78,97 to 99 and by Company geologists for all other holes from the RC drilling.

2 Intercepts reported use a 0.05% eU3O8 lower cut-off grade and a maximum internal dilution of 8.1m unless noted otherwise. Intercepts less than 1m that fall below 0.10% eU3O8 are excluded.

3 Interval lengths are rounded to the nearest 0.1m and are reported down holes lengths as true widths are yet to be determined.

4 Reported using lower cut-off grade 0.5% eU3O8 and a maximum internal dilution of 2m.

5 Reported using lower cut-off grade 1.0% eU3O8 and a maximum internal dilution of 2m.

6 The text of this report shortens the hole number for ease of reading, for example 23NBRC099 changes to RC99

Uranium equivalent grades are estimated from measurement taken from the wall rock surrounding the drill hole, whereas laboratory analysis is from one metre samples collected from the drill hole. For this reason, results may differ between uranium equivalent results and laboratory results.

nsi – no significant uranium equivalent intercept recorded in gamma probes.

Sampling
techniques

Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut
channels, random chips, or specific specialised
industry
standard
measurement
tools
appropriate to the minerals under investigation,
such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld
XRF instruments, etc). These examples should
not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of
sampling.

Include reference to measures taken to ensure
sample represenivity and the appropriate
calibration of any measurement tools or systems
used.

Aspects of the determination of mineralisation
that are Material to the Public Report.

In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has
been done this would be relatively simple (e.g.
‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1m
samples from which 3kg was pulverised to
produce a 30g charge for fire assay’). In other
cases more explanation may be required, such
as where there is coarse gold that has inherent
sampling problems. Unusual commodities or
mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules)
may warrant disclosure of detailed information.

The 2023 drilling program utilises down hole
gamma data from calibrated probes converted into
equivalent uranium values (eU3O8) by experienced
geophysical logging contract operators and have
been
confirmed
by
a
competent
person
(geophysicist). Geochemical assays are then used
to confirm the conversion results once results have
been received.

Appropriate factors were applied to all downhole
gamma counting results to make allowance for hole
diameter, drill rod thickness, gamma probe dead
times and incorporating all other applicable
calibration factors.

This announcement has reported equivalent
uranium grades (expressed as eU3O8) derived from
calibrated probes:
− Geovista 38mm Standard NGRS 4705
− Geovista 38mm Geiger Mueller TGGS 3433; and
− Reflex EZ-Gamma GAM075.

For
selected
RC
drillholes
(23NBRC037,65,73,78,88,93,97,98,99)
data
reported has been collected using the Geovista
probes acquired by Borehole Wireline Pty Ltd
(‘Borehole Wireline’) of Black Forest, South
Australia. The data was collected either inside drill
rods or within 50mm pvc pipe placed in hole once
the drill rig relocated to the next hole and
estimations have taken this into account.

In rod data was acquired both up and down hole.
Downhole data acquired at trip speed of 10 m/min
and up hole data acquired at 3m/min. Open hole
data was unable to be measured due to hole
instability. Adjustments for in rod gamma collection
(RC drill string) was done by Borehole Wireline.

In rod EZ-Gamma data was acquired both up and
down hole, at a trip speed of about 7m/min for all
RC drillholes.

The gamma radioactivity measured by the
Borehole Wireline probes was recorded in raw c/s
(counts per second) at an interval of 1cm down
hole. EZ-Gamma probes reported at 10cm
downhole intervals.

The raw c/s measurements were corrected for the
drill hole diameter and drill string thickness.

The probes utilised have been calibrated in the
Adelaide Models by Borehole Wireline. The
Geovista 38mm Standard NGRS 4705 probe and
the Geovista 38mm Geiger Mueller TGGS 3433
probe were calibrated on the 10 July 2023 and 5
July 2022 respectively. The EZ-Gamma probe
were calibrated on 15 May 2023 (GAM075).

For RC drilling, the EZ-Gamma probe data was
collected by Topdrill drillers and conversions made
by site geologists using calibration data provided
by Imdex Limited.

Once calibration logging by Borehole Wireline was
completed polynomial equations were derived for
each tool that allows the conversion of corrected
c/s measurements to eU3O8grades. Calibration
testing of REFLEX EZ-Gamma was undertaken
using the measured gamma response in four test
pits at the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC)
test
facilities

concentration range of 0.061 to 4.15% U, as well
as five test pits at the Adelaide Test facilities (AM-
1, 2, 3, 6, and 7; 108mm diameter) covering a
concentration range of 0.003 to 0.834% U. In
addition, measurements were also made in AM-7
using various bore sizes to allow calculation of
bore-hole size correction factors.

Wireline gamma data reflects the influence of
mineralisation outside of the drill hole in the host
rock and is typically associated with a larger
sample size than the rock chip samples from the
same interval. Therefore, wet chemical values and
equivalent uranium grades can vary in any given
interval.

Intervals with higher grade eU3O8gamma probe
results were reviewed by site geologists using
calibrated scintillometers and the Company pXRF
Olympus Vanta which took spot analysis of 1 metre
RC split calico sample bags analysis. RC
composite samples are routinely analysed using
pXRF.
Drilling
techniques

Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-
hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka,
sonic, etc) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple
or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-
sampling bit, or other type, whether core is
oriented and if so, by what method, etc).

Drilling is completed to industry standard. A truck
mounted Schramm T685 rig from Topdrill Pty Ltd
was used to drill the reverse circulation (RC) holes.

Drill type was reverse circulation (RC) producing
rock chip drill samples.

A REFLEX GYRO SPRINT-IQ™(EQ0107) is
being used every 30m or sooner to survey drill
holes. Used both down hole and bottom up on
completion of hole.

Drill hole collar locations were positioned using
Garmin GPS with a tolerance of 3-5m. Drill hole
azimuth delineated by sighting compass and using
gyro to refine azimuth.
Drill sample
recovery

Method of recording and assessing core and
chip sample recoveries and results assessed.

Measures taken to maximise sample recovery
and ensure representative nature of the
samples.

Whether a relationship exists between sample
recovery and grade and whether sample bias
may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain
of fine/coarse material.

Sample recovery from the RC drilling is monitored
during drilling with an assessment made on the
volume and weight of material recovered relative
to the drill interval. If RC sample recovery is poor,
it is logged as such. This is systematically
recorded in the logging database.

Sample recovery for RC drilling is good and closely
matches

Logging of geology, structures, alteration and
mineralisation is being carried out systematically
and entered into Micromine Geobank® logging
software and transferred into Micromine®.

All holes are qualitatively logged and, for particular
observations such as vein, mineral and sulphide
content, a quantitative recording is made.

Wet and dry photos of RC chip trays are taken.

All drill holes were logged in full.

Uranium mineralisation is logged in hole, however,
the black sooty colour to the dark green alteration
makes grade estimation difficult.

Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the
grain size of the material being sampled.

Company procedures being followed to ensure
sampling effectiveness and consistency are being
maintained.

For RC drilling, entire one metre intervals are
collected via the cyclone with an accompanying
one metre calico sample using a cone splitter on
the rig. This ~3kg reference sample placed next to
the larger source sample bags for future laboratory
submission.
Routine
four
metre
composite
samples are collected from the source sample
bags using a spear sampling technique and these
are sent for routine laboratory submission.
Individual one metre samples are stored for future
submission if anomalous results are identified.

Field duplicates for RC samples are collected.

Known value standards are inserted approximately
every 40 samples for RC samples.

The size of the sample is considered to have been
appropriate to the grain size for all holes.

Uranium equivalent (eU3O8) grades and composite
sample grades were used to determine the
additional single meter samples for submission.
This was considered appropriate as analysis from
holes with both U3O8and eU3O8results had shown
close correlation.
Quality of
assay data and
laboratory
tests

The nature, quality and appropriateness of the
assaying and laboratory procedures used and
whether the technique is considered partial or
total.

For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld
XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in
determining the analysis including instrument
make and model, reading times, calibrations
factors applied and their derivation, etc.

Nature of quality control procedures adopted
(e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external
laboratory checks) and whether acceptable
levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision
have been established.

RC samples were submitted to ALS Laboratory for
chemical analysis. Entire samples were crushed
and pulverised to 85% passing <75um. Composite
samples were analysed for U and with aqua-regia
digest ME-ICP41, single meter samples have been
analysed for U and Cu by four-acid digest ME-
ICP61 with all samples submitted for Au analysed
by fire-assay Au-ICP21. Results are considered
near total for four acid-digest. Both analytical
techniques for uranium closely match each other.

All assay results have been converted to U3O8for
reporting purposes.

The Company’s handheld pXRF Olympus Vanta is
used to take spot readings of RC samples to
confirm the presence of uranium mineralisation
and cross check to the gamma probes. The spot
grade values recorded by the pXRF machine are
not representative of average grades for the meter
samples but are used to check the presence of
uranium observed or noted in thegammaprobe.
Verification of
Sampling and
assaying

The verification of significant intersections by
either independent or alternative company
personnel.

The use of twinned holes.

Documentation of primary data, data entry
procedures, data verification, data storage
(physical and electronic) protocols.

Discuss any adjustment to assay data.

Detailed checks by alternative Company personnel
verify significant intercepts by using downhole data
collected including depth matching geochemical
assays with down hole gamma with drill core and
handheld radiometric readings and spot pXRF
analysis. A comparison was made between data
collected from the Geovista 38mm Standard NGRS
4705 and Geovista 38mm Geiger Mueller TGGS
3433 gamma probes and geochemical assays.

Borehole Wireline review the data recorded by the
gamma probes and provide a report on the results
and the conversion to eU3O8 values, together with
a spreadsheet of their eU3O8 calculations at 1cm
intervals.

Geological logging and spot analysis of drill core

Quality and adequacy of topographic control.

Downhole
surveys
on

holes
were
completed using an REFLEX GYRO SPRINT-
IQ™(EQ0107) tool with surveys taken at 30m or
less downhole and then continuously from end of
hole upwards.

Hole collar locations have been picked up using a
handheld GPS with a +/- 2 to 3m error respectively.

The grid system used for location of all drill holes as
shown on all figures is GDA94, Zone 53 with a
local grid created for reporting and presentation
purposes.

RL data as recorded from GPS, is considered
unreliable at present, although topography around
the drill area is relatively flat and hence should not
have any significant effect on the current
interpretation of data.

Detailed surveying of the drilling is required once
the programme is complete.

The historical drilling for uranium mineralisation
commenced in the 1970’s across the various
prospects, historical drilling attempted to define
the mineralisation on various grids and drill hole
orientations all with unknown inaccuracies. The
Company has attempted to establish this data
though historical plans, listed coordinates and
reference
points
with
some
irregular
inconsistencies in azimuth noted between data
sources, which has the potential to undermine hole
location and drill hole trace reliability. The
Company considers this drilling to be indicative,
but not absolutely reliable. The Company uses
these holes as a guide, and displays them in
figures in this report, but does not consider them
to be reliable when comparing to current drilling.

Whether sample compositing has been applied.

Drill programme designed to target multiple

Drilling is designed on suitable spacing to establish
a degree of geological and grade continuity.
Orientation
of
data in relation
to
geological
structure

Whether the orientation of sampling achieves
unbiased sampling of possible structures and the
extent to which this is known, considering the
deposit type.

If the relationship between the drilling orientation
and the orientation of key mineralised structures
is considered to have introduced a sampling
bias, this should be assessed and reported if
material.

Prior drilling has limited structural data. Drill
orientations are designed perpendicular to the
interpreted mineralising and geological trends
(unless stated otherwise).

At Nabarlek South, holes are orientated to
intersect the broad geology, mineralising trends
and the Gabo Fault which dips to the north-west.

At U40, a series of north-south trending subvertical
faults are interpreted to control mineralisation.

At U42, a north-west fault is interpreted to control
geology in the region. It is not known whether this
represents the orientation of mineralisation.

At Nabarlek North north-west trending fault dipping
to the north-east controls mineralisation.

obtaining a licence to operate in the area.

The Nabarlek Project comprises one granted
Mineral Lease and three granted Exploration
Licences, in additional to a broader package of
tenement applications.

The granted Mineral Lease MLN962 (termed
Nabarlek Mining Lease in this report) and is owned
by Queensland Mines Pty Limited (QML) a wholly
owned subsidiary of DevEx Resources Limited
(Company). MLN962 is the renewal of Special
Mineral Lease 94 granted on 23 March 1979 to
mine and process the Nabarlek Ore. MLN962
continues until the 22 March 2034 (thereafter
subject to further application for renewal).

Mining Agreements between QML and the
Northern Land Council (NLC) provide details for
commercial mining and extraction of uranium ore
within MLN962.

The Nabarlek project also includes three granted
Exploration Licences (EL10176, EL24371 and
EL23700). All three exploration licences form part
of the Nabarlek Project in which the Company
holds 100%. Cameco has a claw–back right for
51% of any deposit exceeding 50 million lbs of
U3O8within the granted exploration tenure (ASX
Announcement on 11 September 2012). EL10176
and EL24371 are subject to a 1% royalty on gross
proceeds from sale of uranium and other refined
substances.

Under its land access agreements with the NLC
and Traditional Owners, the Company annually
presents its exploration plans to Traditional
Owners for comment and approval. Planned
activities for 2023, were approved by the
Traditional Owners late last year.

The Company continues to operate under

parties

Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by

Since discovery of uranium mineralization at
Nabarlek, the Project has seen various exploration
activities since the 1970’s. The Company has
reviewed historical reports covering the past 50
years of exploration activity and the majority of this
activity has been captured into a drill hole and
geochemical database.

QML discovered the Nabarlek deposit in 1970
during costeaning of a significant airborne
radiometric anomaly. During 1970 and 1971 the
orebody was delineated by drilling.

The majority of drilling within MLN962 was
undertaken by QML between 1970 to 2007 when
the Company (then known as Uranium Equities
Limited) purchased QML. Following purchase of
QML the Company has carried out exploration
drilling within MLN962.

Databases inherited by the Company were
compiled by QML in the early 1990s. Reviews of
historical reports were undertaken in an attempt to
validate the drilling and geochemistry. Some data
entry errors, and high-grade holes were noticed
and corrected. Historical drilling was validated
where possible, albeit discrepancies were noted.

Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralization.

Open cut mining at Nabarlek commenced in June
1979. Total production from the Nabarlek mill was
10,858 tonnes of U3O8(McKay, A.D. & Miezitis, Y.,
2001. Australia’s uranium resources, geology and
development of deposits. AGSO – Geoscience
Australia, Mineral Resource Report 1).

Nabarlek Uranium mineralisation is classed as a
structurally-controlled, unconformity associated
uranium deposit entirely hosted within basement
rocks similar to other uranium mines in the
Alligator Rivers Uranium Field.

The rock types which host the Nabarlek orebody
are metamorphic chlorite schists and amphibolites
of the Myra Falls Metamorphics (equivalent of the
lower Cahill Formation). The metamorphic rocks
are
faulted
against
the
Palaeoproterozoic
Nabarlek Granite which has been intersected in
drilling
at
450m
below
the
deposit.
The
metamorphic schists were subsequently intruded
by a sheet of Oenpelli Dolerite. At Nabarlek and
surrounding prospects, uranium mineralization
has
been
encountered
in
both
the
host
metamorphic schists and the Oenpelli Dolerite.
The Company regards the uranium mineralization
within the region to be structurally controlled.

These prospective metamorphic rocks match with
the regional definition of the upper and more
prospective lower Cahill Formation. Historical
drilling at Nabarlek and elsewhere indicates that
this stratigraphy is generally flat and therefore
important to determine where prospective uranium
bearing structures cross into the more prospective
lower Cahill Formation equivalent.

The Nabarlek orebody was deposited within the
Nabarlek fault breccia. Surface mapping of the
Nabarlek Shear south of the pit identified a silica
flooded fault breccia with trace to minor uranium at
the immediate pit boundary. Within the main ore
body (inner zone) alteration is characterised by
pervasive hematite, chlorite, white mica and the
removal
of
quartz/silica
(de-silicification).
Chalcopyrite (copper sulphide) is reported in
petrology as one of the dominant sulphides.
Company hand-held XRF spot analysis of
available core from Nabarlek confirms a close
association between copper and uranium at
Nabarlek and other prospects such as U40. Apart
from uranium, there is no record of routine analysis
of
metals
associated
with
the
Nabarlek
mineralisation, including gold.

The Company views the Nabarlek Deposit and
nearby U40 Prospect to bear close similarities
including age, with the Ranger, Jabiluka and
Coronation Hill Uranium deposits together with

their close association with gold, copper and PGE
mineralisation (see ASX announcement on 9 May
2019).

Previous exploration models used by explorers
considered an unconformity type uranium model
similar to that seen in the Proterozoic Athabasca
Basin Uranium Province of North America. The
Company considers this model to be too restrictive
and is adopting a more flexible hydrothermal
mineral
systems
approach
associated
with
structures such as the Gabo Fault, the Nabarlek
Faults and the North Fault.

The Company considers that previous drilling,
discussed within, supports the concept that copper
and gold is prospective within the Company’s
tenements.
Drill hole
Information

A summary of all information material to the
understanding of the exploration results including
a tabulation of the following information for all
Material drill holes:

easting and northing of the drill hole collar

elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation
above sea level in metres) of the drill hole
collar

dip and azimuth of the hole

down hole length and interception depth

hole length.

If the exclusion of this information is justified on
the basis that the information is not Material and
this exclusion does not detract from the
understanding of the report, the Competent
Person should clearly explain why this is the
case.

Historically significant uranium intercepts for the
project
are
provided
in
the
Company’s
announcement dated 29 September 2021 and
select historical intercepts are provided in figures
of this report to provide context to recent
Exploration Results.

At Nabarlek South, historical drilling is cluttered by
various campaigns and drill hole orientations.
Historical hole locations are reasonable for this
report in broad context, but the lack of down hole
information and accurate surveying makes hole to
hole comparison difficult.

Due to flat lying stratigraphy, RAB/Aircore (AC)
drilling is viewed as a useful geochemical and near
surface geological indicator but is not a definitive
drill hole test. Many RAB/AC holes only sampled
at the bottom of the hole and are ineffective.
RAB/AC drilling is removed from plans as it gives
a false impression of a prospect’s level of effective
drilling.

All relevant drill hole information used in these
Exploration Results is listed in Tables 1 and 2 of
this announcement or previously reported.
Data
aggregation
methods

In reporting Exploration Results, weighting
averaging
techniques,
maximum
and/or
minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high
grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material
and should be stated.

Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short
lengths of high-grade results and longer lengths
of low-grade results, the procedure used for such
aggregation should be stated and some typical
examples of such aggregations should be shown
in detail.

The assumptions used for any reporting of metal
equivalent values should be clearly stated.

Table 1 and 2 within this report lists significant
uranium equivalent and laboratory uranium
intercepts from recent drilling. Significant uranium
intercepts are determined using a lower cut-off
grade of 0.05% U3O8with a maximum of 8.1m of
internal dilution. Individual higher-grade intercepts
are reported when grades are at or above 0.5%
U3O8, 1.0% U3O8.

No top cuts have been used.

All equivalent uranium grades were derived by
Borehole Wireline for selected RC holes and the
calibrated EZ-Gamma down hole probe for the RC
drilling, using probe specific dead time and K
factors, and accounting for the hole diameter and
drill casing.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths

These relationships are particularly important in
the reporting of Exploration Results.

If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect
to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should
be reported.

If it is not known and only the down hole lengths
are reported, there should be a clear statement
to this effect (e.g. ‘down hole length, true width
not known’).

Drill orientations are designed perpendicular to the
interpreted mineralising and geological trends
(unless stated otherwise).

At Nabarlek South, holes are orientated to intersect
the broad geology, mineralising trends and the
Gabo Fault which dips to the north-west.

At U40 a series of north-south trending subvertical
faults are interpreted to control mineralisation.

At U42, a north-west fault is interpreted to control
geology in the region. It is not known whether this
represents the orientation of mineralisation.

At Nabarlek North north-west trending fault dipping
to the north-east control’s mineralisation.

Where available geological observations from
diamond drill core of veins, fractures and
mineralisation cross cutting the core generally at
moderate to high angles are used to confirm
orientations of mineralisation.

The drill intersections reported are not considered
true widths and are reported as down hole lengths.
Further detailed geological analysis and drilling is
required to determine the geometry of the
intersected mineralisation.
Diagrams
Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and
tabulations of intercepts should be included for
any significant discovery being reported These
should include, but not be limited to a plan view
of drill hole collar locations and appropriate
sectional views.

Plan views and a cross section are provided as
figures in the body of text.
Balanced
reporting

Where
comprehensive
reporting
of
all
Exploration
Results
is
not
practicable,
representative reporting of both low and high
grades and/or widths should be practiced to
avoid
misleading
reporting
of
Exploration
Results.

Significant uranium equivalent and uranium
intercepts for drilling are reported in Tables 1 and
2 with highlights provided on maps and cross
sections for context.
Other
substantive
exploration data

Other exploration data, if meaningful and
material, should be reported including (but not
limited to): geological observations; geophysical
survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk
samples – size and method of treatment;
metallurgical
test
results;
bulk
density,
groundwater,
geotechnical
and
rock
characteristics;
potential
deleterious
or
contaminating substances.

Geological interpretations are presented within
the figures provided.
Further work
The nature and scale of planned further work
(e.g. tests for lateral extensions or depth
extensions or large-scale step-out drilling).
