  • Preliminary interpretation of Abminga Airborne Electromagnetic dataset delineates previously unknown palaeodrainage system.

  • This buried river system, located entirely within Eromanga tenements has over 34km of channel within two discrete drainage systems, and subsidiary channels, potentially capable of hosting sandstone hosted (rollfront) uranium deposits.

    • Drilling to commence once Aboriginal Heritage Clearance Surveys are conducted.

Abminga Project

(Eromanga Uranium Limited earning 70% from Maximus Resources Limited in ELs 3575, 3599, 3600, 3601, 3602, 25163, and 25166. Eromanga 100% of ELAs 297/07, 220/07, 387/07, and 439/07. Eromanga earning 100% of uranium rights from Caldera Resources on EL 3186)

As reported previously Eromanga Uranium has completed an extensive airborne electromagnetic (EM) survey over the entire 9000 km2 of the Abminga Project in northern South Australia. The company has now completed a preliminary interpretation over a portion of this dataset in an area where uranium mineralisation was intersected by Afmeco in 1980 (Figure 1). Computer processing, imaging and interpretation of this dataset has highlighted a major, previously unknown palaeodrainage system.

This palaeodrainage systems consists of two main channels, named Atlas and Baco, and a network of braided subsidiary channels. These channels are draining potentially uranium bearing sources rocks including the Kulgera Suite Granites and the Birksgate Complex gneisses of the Musgrave Block, which both outcrop to the west, and underlie the channel system (Figure 2).

Previous drilling in the area returned, in hole CUR13, a thick intersection of Algebuckina Sandstone from 146m to the end of the hole at 215.5m. Two significant Uranium assays were returned from this hole, one metre at 190ppm Uranium from 190metres ,and one metre at 80ppm Uranium from 182m.

Figure 2 Stacked conductivity depth image (CDI) profiles within area of preliminary interpretation identifying palaeochannel systems and drillhole CUR13.

The location of this drillhole is now interpreted to be off the axis of the interpreted Atlas channel. This is highly encouraging, as the company expects that development of the hosting sandstone horizons will be substantially thickened within the Atlas channel (Figure 3).

The high quality of the EM data will allow the immediate development of an exploration program to test the validity of the interpretation, and target potential uranium mineralisation by drilling.

The actual commencement of drilling will be dependant upon the completion of Aboriginal Heritage Clearance Surveys, and the securing of a suitable drill rig, hopefully by late November.

Computer processing and interpretation of the remainder of the Abminga EM dataset is an ongoing process and is expected to lead to further drill targets to be assessed in early 2008.
