LAS MARIAS URANIUM PROJECT

As testament to the potential of this project, a 7km unit of outcropping uranium rich sandstones, including visible uranium oxide minerals, has been identified using hand-held geophusical equipment. Scintillometre readings of the leached surface material indicate a range typically between 100 to 550 ppme U3O8, with a maximum reading of 1,300 ppme U3O8.

This project was explored by the Atomic Energy Commission of Argentina (CNEA) in the 1970's. Priority exploration targets exist under cover, along extensions of the outcropping mineralisation.

This project is currently under application, with the first exploration lease expected to be granted early in the new year.
