Accori fly camp
Accori North C is one of the first consistently mineralized areas emerging in the southwest margin of the batholith, and underscores the growing size potential of the Kurupung uranium system. Scout drilling has confirmed two uranium-bearing shoots at Accori North C. Mineralization remains open at depth and there is good potential for additional shoots to lie along the eastern extension of the Accori North C structure. The concentration of uranium into shoots is a feature evident in other parts of the Kurupung Batholith, and is characteristic of albitite-hosted uranium deposits around the world.
Uranium mineralization at Accori North C is contained within a crackle breccia zone that is enclosed by an albite-chlorite-hematite-calcite alteration assemblage. The sheet-like breccia zone strikes east and dips to the south at an angle of between 70° and 85°. The mineralized breccia varies from approximately 2 to 34 metres in width. Accori North C is scheduled to be one of the mineralized zones in the Kurupung to undergo infill drilling in 2011 to potentially add to U3O8 Corp’s NI 43-101 resources.
Drill Hole Locations
U3O8 Corp. has completed a total of 5,209 metres in 24 bore holes at the Accori North C structure.

Long Section
A long section of uranium grade multiplied by thickness at Accori North C shows that uranium is concentrated in two shoots. The shoots are 130 to 150 metres wide and are separated by a low-grade gap of 75 to 100 metres. Mineralization remains open at depth and there is good potential for additional shoots to lie along the eastern extension of the Accori North C structure. The concentration of uranium into shoots is a feature evident in other parts of the Kurupung Batholith, and is characteristic of albitite-hosted uranium deposits around the world.
A provisional long section of the principal structure at Accori North C 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 coloured circles demarcate the pierce points on the structure. A pierce point is the approximate location at which each bore hold intersects the structure.
