There are 4 outcropping mineralised zones or lode formations each of average width greater than six feet, and dipping consistently at 60° south. The Main Lode is 250 feet long. Diamond drilling has revealed that these deposits extend similarly in depth to at least 100 feet vertically. The total tonnage of ore to the depth drilled is of the order of 34,000 tons, with an overall grade of 6.4 pounds U308 per long ton - calculated from 63 feet of borehole samples. Individual lode assays vary from a minimum of 1.8 to a maximum of 9.0 pounds U308 by radiometric assay per long ton. A future programme of drilling is proposed which will test the deposit to a depth of approximately 300 feet down dip. This includes some positions where both 45° and 70° holes are to be drilled.
