Project Potential
The Nackara Arc Project covers an area of extensive historic, small scale gold workings and has previously been the subject of limited exploration, primarily focussed around regions of higher grade vein style mineralisation. Eromanga Uranium believes that significant potential exists for the

development of larger gold systems within sedimentary sequences that surround the known mineralisation. These sediments are outcropping at surface and are strongly altered, very soft and extremely friable. The company considers that gold mineralisation within these sediments offers the opportunity for the development of broader zones of mineralisation that are potentially amenable to mining by low cost, open-pitting techniques.
Exploration Program
Exploration will commence immediately with a program of gridding and orientation to be followed by a comprehensive program of surface sampling over the identified mineralised systems. This initial phase of exploration has been designed to confirm the overall extent and distribution of gold mineralisation and is anticipated to form the basis for the subsequent commitment to drill testing in the third quarter of calendar 2009.
