    My point is: if >50ppm does that make for an economic deposit. The following article would suggest not, based on the ppm listed in their samples or am I still missing something as I am not a geologist

    Uranium Resources PLC - Tanzanian Uranium Project


    August 2006 Field Work Initial Results Identify Uranium Mineralisation



    HIGHLIGHTS





    • Trenches show visible uranium mineralisation

    • Best assay results include the following visibly mineralised selective
    grab samples;

    • 55,600ppm (5.56%)U*
    • 35,880ppm (3.59%)U*
    • 18,800ppm (1.88%)U*

    • Five ground radiometric anomalies identified over 2 km strike

    • Airborne radiometric anomalies along 7 km trend

    • Field work has commenced to further evaluate project area



    *All results are in ppm uranium with analysis method accuracy quoted at +/- 100
    ppm U. For conversion to U3O8 the uranium ppm values should be multiplied by
    1.18.





    Summary



    The Board of Uranium Resources is pleased to announce the initial results of
    field work conducted on the Mtonya Uranium Prospect in Tanzania by its farm-in
    partner, Western Metals Limited (ASX:WMT, www.westernmetals.com.au). Under the
    farm in agreement Western Metals will earn 40% after spending A$2m and can earn
    a further 20% by spending a further A$2m.



    These initial results are the first 53 assays from a total of 100 collected at
    the Mtonya Project in August. The remainder of the results will be announced
    when they have been received and verified.



    Western Metals' Managing Director George Bauk said, 'These results are highly
    encouraging and provide the company with walk up drill targets. These results
    cover 2km of the 7km trend previously identified by airborne radiometric surveys
    and we are optimistic that more targets will be found. We have a field crew on
    the ground at the moment extending our data set on this area. This field work
    will cover approximately 50 km2 of the total 2,500 km2 in the Mtonya Project'.


    The Mtonya Project



    The Mtonya Project area is in southern Tanzania. Previous field checking of an
    airborne radiometric anomaly gave a surface spot assay of 980ppm U3O8. This
    anomaly was subsequently named the Henri Anomaly.



    Western Metals conducted field work in August 2006 to evaluate the Henri Anomaly
    in more detail. A field crew spent two weeks conducting ground based radiometric
    surveys, trench sampling, geological mapping and surface sampling.



    The ground radiometric surveys identified five anomalous areas of radioactivity
    within an area of 2 kilometers length and a width, at surface, ranging from 100
    to 300 metres. The anomalous trend defined by historic airborne radiometric
    survey extends over 7 kilometres. Field work to date has focused on only 2
    kilometres of this trend.



    At the Henri Anomaly, interpretation of the radiometric data indicates the
    existence of three sub-horizontal anomalous layers each separated by
    approximately 8 vertical metres. Approximately 25 vertical metres of the
    sedimentary section has been surveyed so far via mapping and trenching of
    exposed ridges. Drilling will be required to test the anomalies to depth.



    Trenching was conducted on several of the anomalous areas at Henri with six
    trenches dug to approximately 1.25 metres depth. Two of the trenches exposed
    visible uranium mineralisation in sub-horizontal bands within a sandstone host.



    The discrete visibly mineralised bands varied between 10cm to 60cm in apparent
    thickness. Assay results and radiometric data from Trench 1 indicate a
    sub-horizontal zone of mineralisation extending from approximately 0.25 - 0.5
    metres below surface to the base of the trench. The thickness of the mineralised
    zone cannot be determined until deeper excavations are completed as high grade
    assays continued to the base of the trench.
