Aricheng South core sample - uranium mineralization associated with an albite-hematite mineral assemblage
Uranium mineralization at Aricheng South occurs in two sub-parallel east-west trending breccia zones in granodiorite in the Kurupung Batholith. The principal structure has been defined over a strike length of 320 metres and to a depth of 230 metres below surface. The principal structure dips approximately 60º to the north, and the mineralized zone varies in width from 4 metres to 34 metres. The deposit remains open along strike to the west and at depth.
Drill Hole Locations
U3O8 Corp. has completed 17,326 metres of drilling in 93 bore holes on the Aricheng South structure.
Map shows the ground scintillometer radiometric anomaly at Aricheng South with the location of Phase I, II and previously reported Phase III drill holes labeled in black. The most recent six drill holes are labeled in red.
Long Section
A long section of uranium grade and thickness in the principal structure at Aricheng South shows that uranium content increases gradually and predictably towards a central mineralized shoot. The deposit is still open at depth and along strike to the west.
A provisional long section of the principal structure at Aricheng South shows the distribution of grade-thickness values (the product of the width of the mineralized interval and its U3O8 grade in %) on a vertical projection of the structure. The black circles demarcate the pierce points on the structure. A pierce point is the approximate location at which each bore hole intersects the structure.
Assay Results
