tasman to drill uranium targets near olympic dam and there it is - a couple of days late though!
Tasman Resources (ASX Code ‘TAS’ ) will commence a drilling programme
this year to progressively test seven uranium targets lying within 30 kilometres
of the massive Olympic Dam mine.
Executive Chairman, Mr Greg Solomon, told the Paydirt’s 2006 Uranium
Conference in Adelaide that Tasman’s tenements adjoining Olympic Dam had
witnessed very limited drilling to date.
“Over the next one to two years you will see some serious action by Tasman
on the uranium front,” Mr Solomon said.
“Tasman holds 5800 square kilometres of exploration tenements, within a total
portfolio of 9400 square kilometres, regarded by the Company as being
“highly prospective for uranium”.
Mr Solomon said the size of Tasman’s uranium portfolio saw it ranked fourth
amongst a large number of uranium explorers in South Australia, headed only
by the recently listed Toro Energy, Maximus Resources and Hindmarsh
Resources.
He said Tasman also holds tenements that adjoin the Warrior uranium deposit
near Tarcoola in the west of SA, containing known radiometric anomalies
within the 40 kilometre-length Wynbring palaeochannels, as well as 80
kilometres length of the Garford palaeochannel system further to the north.
“Additionally, in the next three months, we hope to be drilling unconformitystyle
uranium target at Parkinson Dam, identified during the 1980s by PNC.
They reported a surface rock chip sample, containing torbernite (a uranium
mineral), which assayed 970ppm uranium. This sample was found a short
distance from highly anomalous soil radon gas results”, Mr Solomon said.
