Renaissance Uranium Limited (ASX: RNU) is pleased to announce that it has entered an agreement with Currie Resources Pty Ltd (Currie) that grants Renaissance an option to acquire 100% of two exploration licences, subject to the final grant of the licences to Currie. The tenements, which are currently under application to Currie, cover an extensive area immediately north and east of Renaissance’s Eastern Eyre Project in the southern portion of the Olympic Dam IOCGU belt. The newly optioned ground covers 314 km[2 ] and contains, in particular, an extension of the Roopena Fault zone from Renaissance’s current project area into the northern block of the newly optioned ground. See Figure 1. To the south of this area, Renaissance has identified multiple untested IOCGU drill targets from historical drilling and recently completed gravity and airborne EM surveys over areas proximate to the Roopena Fault zone. Renaissance recently completed an initial drill program testing a limited number of these targets. At the 1050 East prospect, Renaissance’s drilling intersected an extensive sulphide mineralised zone. See RNU ASX release of 30 September 2013. Renaissance considers the newly optioned ground to offer similar prospects for high value deposits.

Renaissance’s Managing Director David Christensen commented that the option agreement was an important addition to Renaissance’s Eastern Eyre Project.

This is a strategically important consolidation of our position in the southern portion of the Olympic Dam IOCGU belt. We have already identified some impressive targets in our existing tenements, and our initial drilling has confirmed the prospectivity of the project area, and in particular, the Roopena Fault zone. We believe that the Currie ground offers excellent prospects as we step up our drilling later this year.

Under the terms of the agreement, Renaissance has agreed to pay Currie $25,000 and issue 500,000 Renaissance shares in exchange for a two-year option, during which time Renaissance will manage and fund all exploration within the optioned areas. Renaissance may exercise the option, at its election, at any time up to two years from the date of award of the exploration licences by issuing Currie cash or shares equal in value to $175,000, less the value of the 500,000 Renaissance shares provides as initial consideration.

Renaissance expects to commence exploration activities over the newly acquired areas in the current calendar year. The planned initial work program will include geophysical surveying over the northern extension of the Roopena Fault zone to delineate and prioritise IOCGU targets. Renaissance expects to commence drilling of prospective targets that may be identified on the newly acquired ground as part of subsequent programs within the Eastern Eyre Project area.
