-
First phase drilling on two regional traverses completed.
-
Results indicate palaeodrainages interpreted from EM are largely in the shallow Tertiary. These are mostly too oxidised.
-
Deeper underlying Mesozoic Algebuckina Sandstone remains highly prospective.

ABMINGA URANIUM PROJECT (Continued)
-
All the critical parameters for uranium deposition have been established at Abminga.
-
Improved understanding of the strengths/ limitations of airborne EM.
-
Integrating EM with magnetic data to better map deeper Mesozoic drainages at the base of the Algebuckina Sandstone.
-
Micro-gravity survey to confirm interpretations to commence late August 2008.
-
Second phase drilling to start in midSeptember 2008.

NEW PROJECTS
Tanami Uranium – Suplejack Project
-
Eromanga Uranium has been successful in its application for EL26625 in the Tanami region of the Northern Territory.
-
The Company is now in receipt of the consent to negotiate with the Central Land Council, on behalf of the Traditional Owners, for grant of the exploration licence.
-
Previous exploration for gold has highlighted the geology of the licence area to be ideal for the development of unconformity-related uranium mineralisation, similar to that in the Alligator Rivers region of the Northern Territory.
-
Eromanga intends to advance the permitting of this project as quickly as possible to allow on-ground exploration to commence.
Project generation
The Company continues to review business opportunities that would strengthen our exploration portfolio.

SUMMARY
-
Eromanga continues to be a very active exploration group with drilling on multiple fronts.
-
Initial drill testing at Welbourn Hill has confirmed the potential for the area to host IOCGU mineralisation.
-
Drilling underway at the exciting Nicholson Project.
-
Company now in a position to maximise the value of its airborne EM data.
-
Drilling scheduled to re-commence at Abminga in mid-September.
-
