Africa Uranium Limited
AUL is an unlisted public company with uranium projects in Namibia and South Africa
Hoasib Project
AUL has a 70% interest in the Hoasib Project (EPL3664) which is located 80km east of Walvis Bay and the coastal town of Swakopmund in Namibia. It is partially within the Namib Park Nature Reserve in which many of the known Namibian uranium occurrences are located including the Langer Heinrich deposit being mined by Paladin Energy. The Project lies to the immediate south and east of the Langer Heinrich Uranium Project. (see attached maps)
Early work carried out in relation to EPL 3664 by AUL has located several occurrences of uranium mineralisation. During the recent field program, AUL drilled 11 wide spaced (> 1km) exploratory holes. Assays for these holes are awaited; however, in field assessment suggests that at least three of these holes intersected uraniferous horizons. AUL is preparing for follow up drilling to infill the areas on a 500m x 500m grid to outline the possible extent of these occurrences.
The proximity to other uranium mines with proven reserves such as Langer Heinrich (Paladin, approx 20km) and the Swakop River Project (Bannerman Resources, adjoining) makes this tenement an extremely exciting prospect.
Usakos Project
The Usakos EPLs are at an application stage within a moratorium area adjacent to the Rossing uranium mine operated and part owned by Rio Tinto. Future work by AUL will depend on the outcome of the Namibian Government’s process in determining the successful applicant. Karoo Project
AUL also holds projects located in the Karoo Basin in South Africa. These areas were explored in the period 1970 to 1985. The main target is sandstone hosted uranium mineralisation. Exploration on these areas AUL has been limited due to lack of funding.
