re: #####uranium update soon######
NO! it's part of the Nuclear Energy Program!! :D
In late 2004, Vena became aware of the program and contracted the services of Jose Carlos Rogovich Aleman, a senior geologist who was intimately involved in the 1980 program. For the past month the program’s data has been analyzed and all 78 anomalies ranked according to size and apparent grade quality. From these anomalies, a total of 9,600 hectares of concessions have been staked covering the top 38 anomalies (according the Company’s ranking).
The Puno formation is the most common source rock for these radioactive minerals being constituted of reddish sandstones with good porosity and permeability. The original data was collected with an airborne scintillometer which received data through a photomultiplier and recorded the decay of uranium, thorium and potassium on a strip recorder. The average anomaly intensities ranged from 650 to 7400 counts per minute for uranium.
In the planned exploration stage, handheld scintillometers will be used to make much closer spaced traverses to collect data in the specific anomaly zones. The newly collected data will identify zones of highest intensity radiation for drill hole selection. It will also be correlated to the airborne data to make this data more predictive.
