Xemplar Energy Conducts RadonX Survey at Cape Cross
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, May 20, 2011 - Xemplar Energy Corp. (TSX-V:XE) Encouraged by the traverse infill program and latest assay results for the grab samples collected at Mile 72 area at Cape Cross, Xemplar Energy Corp. is now embarking on a highly disciplined and methodical exploration program using RadonX and ground electronic magnetic survey over a 20-kilometre by eight-kilometre area leading to the mapping of high-potential drill targets. It is supported in these endeavours by Remote Exploration Services, part of the highly respected Mineral Services Group, and its senior consultant, Dr. Branko Corner, a leading geophysicist and expert on uranium exploration in Southern Africa. The company plans to start drilling in July or August, 2011.
Notes
RadonX is a radon emanometry method based on the radon-on-activated-charcoal (ROAC) technique initially developed by the SA Atomic Energy Board. Remote Exploration Services, a leading exploration consultancy operating in Africa, has refined and adapted the initial ROAC method through a number of experimental studies and orientation surveys over known calcrete- and leucogranite-hosted (Alaskite) uranium deposits. The emphasis of all procedures, choice of activated charcoal and equipment parameter design was to optimize the sensitivity of the RadonX method. Results of case studies show excellent detection and delineation of a variety of buried uranium deposits, exceptional depth penetration of 100 metres or more under favourable permeability conditions and improved sensitivity when compared with alpha-particle detection surveys.
Radon emanometry surveys make use of the ability of radon (222Rn), a gaseous daughter product originating from uranium decay, to migrate to surface together with the ground air. This requires some degree of permeability in the overburden or cover strata. Unlike other radon emanometry methods that rely on alpha-particle detection, RadonX measures the gamma emission from radon's daughter products, bismuth (214Bi) and lead (214Pb), following adsorption of the radon onto activated charcoal. This method of detection excludes the detection of thoron (220Rn) arising from thorium that may be contained in the bedrock, representing a significant advantage of the RadonX method.
Radiometric surveys have traditionally been the primary method used in uranium exploration. The ability to deploy surveys from aircraft has enabled extensive coverage in favourable areas, resulting in the discovery of most exposed deposits. Radiometric surveys are, however, limited in that the depth of penetration is restricted to the top few centimetres of the earth's surface and therefore many buried deposits have gone undetected. In this regard, RadonX provides uranium explorers with a unique and direct parameter, enabling the detection of uranium deposits at depth. In so doing, it provides an important data layer during the exploration process to enable drill target detection and delineation.
Key advantages of using this technology include:
- Highly effective through both residual and transported surficial cover given good permeability conditions;
- Significantly improved sensitivity compared with other alpha detection surveys;
- An excellent depth of penetration, under favourable permeability conditions, in excess of 100 metres;
- Fast results turnaround time, allowing for on-the-fly infill surveying;
- Highly cost-effective in comparison with geochemical surface sampling methods;
- No interference from thorium contained in bedrock due to the detection method;
- Accurate mapping of uranium mineralization and definition of drill targets using detailed grids.
