Gold bearing alluvial gravels from this program will be processed through the Company’s two gold recovery circuits with the results forming the basis for estimation of Inferred and Indicated Resources in line with JORC Guidelines (JORC-Joint Ore Reserves Committee).
Georgetown Alluvial Gold Operations
Background
Following purchase of 100% of the Georgetown Alluvial Gold Operations in July of this year the Company has undertaken a program of upgrading and repair of all mobile mining plant and gold processing equipment. This program is now essentially complete and the operations are considered by Eromanga Uranium to be compliant with the requirements of the current Plan of Operations. Whilst the Company is now in a position to recommence mining operations the Board believes that the best interests of shareholders will be met by dedicating its personnel and physical resources towards an aggressive bulk sampling program. This program is designed to provide the detailed mineral resource information required to support an expanded mining operation in 2010 along with all of the prerequisite mining and environmental permitting.
This bulk sampling program will be run continuously until the onset of the Northern Australian wet season in mid December. Resource estimates will be compiled progressively, on a lease by lease basis, and support the development of a detailed mine plan designed to allow the commencement of operations in 2010 at three times the current installed capacity (ie. 150 lcm/hr vs 50 lcm/hr).

Under the new Operations Plan the Company believes that the revenue foregone in the remainder of calendar 2009 will be more than offset by the expanded operations in 2010, with the new operations underpinned by quality gold resources and mine planning.
