Piche Sources Restricted (ASX: PR2) (“Piche” or the “Firm”) is happy to announce the ultimate outcomes from its lately accomplished reverse circulation and diamond drilling programme on the Ashburton uranium mission in Western Australia.
HIGHLIGHTS
- The ultimate gap of the Ashburton drilling programme, ADD006 has returned further excessive grade uranium outcomes and embrace:
- 1.32m @ 792 ppm eU3O8 from 86.52m
- 7.86m @ 2,266 ppm eU3O8 from 105.42m incl. 3.62m @ 3,763 ppm eU3O8 from 105.76m
- 3.22m @ 617 ppm eU3O8 from 116.58m
- 3.33m @ 1,394 ppm eU3O8 from 132.38m
- The drilling programme has been efficiently accomplished with a mixed complete of three,082.8m of reverse circulation and diamond drilling.
- The drilling programme has exceeded expectations, attaining all main goals.
- A complete geological interpretation incorporating each present and historic drill information will likely be accomplished forward of the subsequent part of drilling.
The drilling marketing campaign has efficiently met all goals, confirming historic outcomes, testing a revised structural mannequin for mineralisation, and figuring out alternatives for increasing the recognized mineralisation. The outcomes up to now have exceeded expectation.
Drilling Overview: the drilling programme concerned the completion of 19 holes, with a mixed complete of three,082.8 metres (1,776 meters of reverse circulation and 1,306.8 meters of diamond drilling). Full outcomes for all drill holes are introduced in Desk 1, with drill gap particulars in Desk 2. Drill gap places might be seen on Determine 1 & 2.
Notable Mineralisation Intersections: Quite a lot of drill holes intersected high-grade uranium mineralisation, with the ultimate gap, ADD006, returning notably notable outcomes. These intersections embrace comparatively flat mendacity uranium mineralisation above, beneath and alongside the unconformity between the mid Proterozoic sandstones, conglomerates and the decrease Proterozoic basement advanced. Moreover, steeply dipping zones of uranium mineralisation had been recognized beneath the unconformity, highlighting promising targets for future exploration.
Structural and Geological Insights: Preliminary structural analyses recommend that mineralisation could also be managed by northwest-oriented faults. The mineralisation seems steady alongside strike, with one intersection displaying widths exceeding 39 meters, nevertheless, additional drilling is required to evaluate the extent and continuity of this mineralisation.
Drilling has confirmed the presence of mineralisation on the unconformity, additionally inside the overlying sandstone and the underlying basement advanced. This gives sturdy proof to considerably develop the mineralised zone.
Subsequent Steps: With this programme now full, Piche plans to replace its geological mannequin for Angelo A and B prospects and overview how these outcomes relate to the broader Ashburton tenement package deal. This overview will embrace the Atlantis prospect, 50 km SE of Angelo, which traditionally returned intersections of 5.5m at 6,200ppm and a couple of.2m at 7,400ppm U3O8. These outcomes weren’t adopted up within the 1980’s as a consequence of a $12.00 per lb uranium worth, nevertheless, within the present $77.00 per lb worth, Piche will likely be exploring right here within the close to future.
