Announcement summary
Assay results confirm Uranium mineralisation at Overland
Highlights:
Uranium mineralisation confirmed: Assay results confirm uranium mineralisation in the first 10 drill holes conducted during the 2024 inaugural drilling program.
Validation of the area’s potential: While the initial assays are of low grade, their significance is in validating down hole gamma responses and in-field pXRF measurements, supporting AR3’s geological model for sedimentary-hosted uranium deposits to be generated within the large, lightly explored Overland Project area.
Anomalous Uranium: Drill hole OV002 encountered uranium concentrations up to 20 times greater than adjacent background values across two 1-meter intervals, highlighting the potential for higher-grade zones elsewhere in the system.
Assays validate the down hole gamma responses and in-field pXRF measurements for contained uranium including:
OV002 1m at 44ppm U3O8 from 80m
OV002 1m at 58ppm U3O8from 82m
OV003 1m at 24ppm U3O8 from 86m
OV003 1m at 30ppm U3O8 from 109m
OV009 1m at 24ppm U3O8 from 86m
OV010 1m at 33ppm U3O8 from 91m
OV010 1m at 38ppm U3O8 from 93m
ISR Amenable Mineralisation: Uranium mineralisation occurs in permeable sediments conducive to In-Situ Recovery (ISR) mining methods.
Active Uranium System Identified: Geological indicators suggest an active system of uranium precipitation from solution in oxidized groundwaters within the Overland Project area, pointing to potential for future discoveries at the project.
Next round assays pending: Additional assays from the 2024 drilling program are expected in Q1 2025, which will guide future exploration targeting.
