Extract Makes Major New Uranium Discovery at Rossing South in Namibia

Extract Resources (ASX / TSX code : EXT) is pleased to announce a major new uranium discovery at their Rossing South exploration target which is part of the company's wholly owned Husab Uranium Project in Namibia, Africa.

Summary

  • Outstanding drill hole assay results hosted within uraniferous alaskite confirm a major new uranium discovery beneath desert sands, about 7 kilometres south of the Rossing Uranium Mine.
  • Two of the three discovery holes ended in mineralisation and results include:

  • Reconnaissance drilling on lines 1.6 and 3.2 kilometres to the south and along-strike, has encountered further anomalous zones.
Extract Resources Managing Director, Peter McIntyre, said that this immediate success indicates enormous potential for the Rossing South target.


The discovery so early in the program is an outstanding result. This is only the first line on a 15 kilometre strike target, and grades are similar to the Rossing mine grades. These early results cannot be understated, and confirm Rossing South as a world-class target.”


The Rossing South discovery holes are approximately 1.5 kilometres from Extract’s northern boundary, which it shares with the world-class Rossing uranium province, and 7 kilometres south of the Rossing Mine itself.


The Rossing South target area extends for 15 kilometres onto Extract’s licence, and is covered by desert sands up to 50 metres thick. This is the first time this target has been drilled.

A core hole is currently being drilled beneath the discovery holes, and a scissor RC hole will also be drilled to check the orientation.

Reconnaissance drilling has also begun testing the bedrock 1.6 and 3.2 kilometres to the south and along the interpreted strike.

Anomalous zones of uraniferous alaskite have been identified, and deeper drilling into these zones is now also planned.
