New uranium resource in South America

U3O8 Corp’s prospective lands in the Roraima Basin in Guyana are geologically similar in size, age, composition and basement characteristics to Canada’s prolific Athabasca Basin – accounts for 20% of world’s uranium production1. Our near-term focus is to demonstrate that the Kurupung Batholith, in the basement near the Roraima Basin, could host a large uranium resource of comparable size to albitite-hosted uranium systems worldwide, while exploring the longer term opportunity for significant unconformity-related uranium deposits such as those found in the Athabasca.

Quick Facts:

  • NI 43-101 resource of 5.8 mlb at an average grade of 0.10% U3O8 (Indicated) and 1.3 mlb at an average grade of 0.09% U3O8 (Inferred) in the Kurupung Batholith
  • Pipeline of uranium-bearing structures to grow current resource in the Kurupung  
  • Kurupung geologically similar to sizeable “albitite-hosted deposits worldwide
  • Roraima Basin targets characteristic of Athabasca-type uranium








Albitite-hosted uranium – Uranium in the Kurupung Batholith is geologically similar to albitite-hosted deposits worldwide that typically contain resources in the 50 to 130 million pound range2, hosted within clusters of mineralized structures. We have defined an initial NI 43-101 uranium resource in the Kurupung, and are now focused on growing our pipeline of uranium-bearing structures with the aim of increasing the size potential of the Kurupung system.

Unconformity-related uranium – We have identified key characteristics in our Roraima targets that are analogous to unconformity-related uranium deposits in the Athabasca Basin in terms of structure, alteration minerals and enrichment in pathfinder elements. We are refining and ranking our unconformity targets and expect to start scout drilling the most promising areas of the Roraima Basin in 2010.
