Gladiator Resources Ltd (ASX: GLA) ( Gladiator or the Company ) is pleased to announce that its wholly owned Tanzanian subsidiary Zeus Resources (T) Ltd. ( Zeus ) (subject to regulatory approval) has appointed The MSA Group ( MSA ) to assist it with progressing its Tanzanian Uranium projects. MSA is an internationally recognised independent consulting company based in South Africa which has executed projects in over 50 countries. MSA has provided services to the global exploration and mining industry including major, mid-tier and junior mining companies globally for more than 35 years.

Gladiator Resources Chairman Ian Hastings commented:

“The Company is pleased to see that Zeus is aggressively progressing its Uranium projects in Tanzania with the appointment of the MSA Group, whilst awaiting final regulatory approvals. MSA will oversee the exploration planning and commence a review aimed at updating the Mineral Resource Estimate for the Likuyu deposit. The Company believes that its southern Uranium projects have exciting potential and the appointment of MSA brings the expertise to fast track resource estimation and to significantly progress the exploration process.”

The MSA Group

The MSA Group was established in 1983 and is a specialist consulting company providing technical input into international projects in the resource, financial, infrastructure and development sectors. MSA have worked across multiple sectors on all commodities and in diverse environments on five continents for some of the largest multinational companies, listed juniors and private investors. MSA have worked in over 30 countries in Africa and have firsthand knowledge of the African continent and environment. MSA is ISO 9001:2015 certified.

MSA has been appointed to update the previous (pre JORC 2012) Mineral Resource Estimate for the Likuku North deposit at the Company’s flagship Mkuju Uranium project in Southern Tanzania with an objective of updating it to ensure compliance with JORC 2012 guidelines. MSA will also design and oversee proposed exploration programs which are expected to start at the end of the wet season. This is an important part of the Company’s plans for 2022 with Mkuju representing the Company’s focus for the balance of this year.

Mkuju – (Uranium) 100% Gladiator

Mkuju tenements cover 678.73km[2] in southern Tanzania and at the closest point are approximately 30km from Uranium One’s Mkuju River Project (67 Mlb U3O8 Proved and Probable Reserves – see Uranium One release 31 December 2016). The Mkuju tenements were previously owned by Uranex Limited, Western Metals and Mantra Resources with arrangements being made to acquire historical data. The project includes the Likuyu North deposit and uranium anomalies of Grand Central, Likuyu South and Likuyu North which require further exploration.

Figure 1. Map of the Mukuju Project area showing airborne radiometric data and numerous targets including Likuyu North

The geological setting and uranium mineralisation at the Likuyu North deposit is interpreted to be similar to the Nyota deposit of the Mkuju River Project. Mineralisation is related to extensive redox fronts within the braided channel sequences of the Lower Mkuju Series sandstone sediments as well as structures. The mineralisation forms dipping stacked tabular layers, each layer between 1 and 8 m thick and hundreds of metres in extent.

As previously announced on 8 November 2021, the Company has reviewed data which was acquired from previous owners and originally compiled by Uranex following drilling by various parties including Tandrill and Wallis Drilling.

Historical high grade U3O8 drilling intercepts from the Likuyu North deposit include the below. These results are from aircore or diamond core drilled holes and are either laboratory assay or from downhole gamma-ray logging.

  • MKDD0009: 10.5m @ 1124ppm from74.5m downhole, including 2m @ 2135ppm

  • LNAC0085: 10m @ 1779ppm from 64m downhole, including 5m @ 3193ppm and 2m @ 5124ppm

  • LNAC0128: 4m @ 1075ppm from 47m downhole, including 1m @ 2575ppm

  • MKDD0003: 2m @ 1244ppm from 54m downhole, including 0.5m @ 2348ppm

  • MKDD0014: 13m@ 614ppm from 95m downhole, including 4.5m @ 1154 and 0.5m @ 3580ppm

The historical results confirm multiple thick tabular zones of mineralisation beginning near surface, which underpins the exploration potential across the newly consolidated project portfolio. Radiometric, geochemical and historical drilling present drill ready exploration targets.

The Liwale project covers 195km2 and is located outside of the Nyerere National Park and was previously owned by Mantra Resources and Uranium One. Arrangements are continuing to secure historical exploration data.

Foxy Project – (Uranium) 100% Gladiator

The Foxy Project covers 299.70km2 and was previously owned by Western Metals and is reported to contain uranium mineralisation similar in setting to that of the Mkuju region. At its closest point, Foxy is approximately 25km from the Mkuju tenements.

Eland Project – (Uranium) 100% Gladiator

The Eland Project covers 294.70km2 and was previously owned by Western Metals and is known to contain uranium mineralisation.

Future Program

MSA is expected to assist the Company in finalising its exploration program for Mkuju and to complete an updated Mineral Resource Estimate for Likuyu North in order to ensure JORC 2012 compliance as priorities. The Company expects to commence on-ground activities at the end of the wet season. These include ground-based exploration and sampling along the Likuyu North trends with phased drilling programs to test potential extensions of the Likuyu North deposit and investigate the large number of untested targets on the project area. The proposed work plan and budget are expected to focus initially on ground follow-up and drilling of existing radiometric anomalies and conducting a detailed ground radiometric survey over the prospective regional geology within the project areas. Additional targets generated will be ranked, prioritised and then systematically explored by auger drilling trenching and drilling.

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 report template

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

  • Criteria JORC Code explanation SamplingNature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or techniques specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.

  • Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.

  • Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report.

  • In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.

Commentary

  • Diamond core holes were sampled at geological intervals with a nominal maximum interval of 1 metre.

  • Half core samples are preserved for future assay as required. Samples were collected from the core trays after they had been transported from the drill site to the base camp at Likuyu. They were marked up and recovery recorded.

  • Samples were then split (cut) in half-length wise (downhole). Sample downhole intervals lengths ranged from 0.5m to 1.0m. Individual sample weights were in the range of 3kg minimum, to 5kg maximum, and an average of 5kg.

  • Measures taken to ensure sample representivity include controls on sample quality and sample location, including for drilling, collar position; downhole survey; and downhole depths. These are validated by GPS, compass; wireline DH survey tools and DH Gamma probes; and regular counting of drill rods downhole to verify reported core block depths.

  • Sample quality was checked by the supervising rig geologist to ensure removal from core tube to core tray is done correctly, that drill core has not been re-drilled, and other checks, including core recovery measurements, to ensure drill core is representative of in-situ material drilled.

Total gamma eU3O8

The historical drilling relies on downhole gamma data from calibrated probes which were converted into equivalent uranium values (eU3O8) by Terratec Geophysical Services and were confirmed by a competent person (GTS geophysicist).

containing numerous anomalies, some of which were followed-up and were
found to contain visible uranium mineralisation, but was second in priority to
the Mkuju Series.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. The majority of the uranium deposits and occurrences in eastern and
southern Africa occur within the Karoo Supergroup, a thick sequence of
continentally derived clastic sediments. Sandstones are the dominant
lithology, with lesser amounts of conglomerate, siltstone, and mudstone.
Coal measures are also present within the supergroup, which ranges from
late Carboniferous to Jurassic in age.
In southern Tanzania the Karoo sediments are within the north-northeast
trending Selous Basin, a rift basin that extends over a length of about 550km
and a width of up to 180km. Most of the uranium occurrences in southern
Tanzania are within these sediments. The uranium occurrences of the Likuyu
Project area are within very coarse felspathic sandstones, which contain
minor interbedded siltstone units. The sediments are interpreted to have
formed within a braided river system.
The uranium mineralisation at the Likuyu Project area consists of the
secondary uranal-phosphate minerals phosphuranylite and meta-autunite.
It is generally within porous sandstones between layers of relatively
impervious siltstones and mudstones. The mineralised rocks are coarse-
grained to conglomeratic channel sandstones deposited in a riverine
environment. They are arkosic, friable, and more or less horizontally
bedded. The larger occurrences of mineralisation occur in crescent shaped
bodies up to 1km wide and 2.5km long with the convex side being in a down-
dip direction. They occur within largely-reduced rocks, down-dip from a
redox front interpreted from a broad colour change in the sandstones.
