EXPLORATION STRATEGY
Dual Focus
-
1 Iron Oxide Copper-Gold- Uranium in the northern Gawler Craton (IOCGU):
-
primary target at Welbourn Hill with drilling currently underway.
-
advancing the Nicholson project
-
2 Sandstone-hosted Uranium around the margins of the Eromanga Basin:
-
major focus at Abminga/Abminga East with drilling currently underway.
-
Excellent project pipeline throughout SA and NT.

ATLAS/BACO DRILLING
(100% ERO)
-
Commenced late February 2008.
-
25-30 rotary-mud holes.
-
Designed to confirm palaeodrainage geometries and test uranium mineralisation.
-
Initial results confirm the presence of favourable stratigraphy, oxidation state and anomalous gamma responses.
-
Quality target with extensive palaeodrainage development in area of known uranium deposition.
