The Paterson Province is the most underexplored unconformity uranium region in the world

Paterson Province

• 1500 km[2 ] in under-explored, highly endowed mineral belt

• Key structural position

• 1000 line km airborne EM survey flown

• Multi-element re-analysis from 18,000m of historical drilling

• High quality uranium and copper targets identified

JV with Barrick Gold ENR earning 75% interest

Paterson Province

BM1:

• Coincident magnetic and AEM anomaly located on a NNE trending splay structure to the McKay Fault

• Three historical CRA drill holes north of the AEM anomaly contain highly anomalous uranium including:

  • 102m @ 48ppm U3 O8 from 27m to EOH

  • 63m @ 42ppm U3 O8 from 42m to EOH

  • 40m @ 56ppm U3 O8 from 66m to EOH

• Bedrock conductor adjacent to

• historical copper mineralisation of 15m @ 0.14% Cu from 25m
