Promising new uranium district in South America

U3O8 Corp’s drilling has defined multiple uranium-bearing structures in the Kurupung Batholith, located in the basement near the Roraima Basin – a promising uranium district in South America.  We have completed an initial NI 43-101 resource estimate on the first four structures.

Quick Facts:

  • To date, drilled about 440 holes (>86,400 metres) in the Kurupung Batholith  
  • Estimate 30-35 mlb1 conceptual target based on 10 uranium-bearing structures identified to date
  • Initial resource of 8.4 mlb at an average grade of 0.09% U3O8 (Indicated) plus 7.7 mlb at an average grade of 0.08% U3O8 (Inferred) for Aricheng North and Aricheng South structures
  • 82% uranium recovery from initial metallurgical testing
  • Uranium in the Kurupung is characteristic of "albitite-hosted"2 deposits worldwide

Uranium in the Kurupung Batholith has the geological characteristics of a class of sizeable deposits known as “albitite-hosted" uranium, many of which contain resources in the 60 to 130 million pound range and comparable grades around 0.1% U3O8, including Canada’s Michelin, Australia’s Valhalla, the United State’s Coles Hill and Brazil’s Lagoa Real deposits1. Field work is continuing with the goal to identify new targets for scout drilling that could add to our pipeline of mineralized structures for infill drilling and illustrate that the Kurupung uranium system could be of comparable size to peer deposits.
