Ann: Brazil Exploration Update - New Niobium Anomaly, page-132

Haha kinda. Had somewhat dozed off but got woken up as the ball and chain needed a seeing to. Then couldn't easily nod off again haha! Anyway, I spent my time wisely to further research this UV Target 1. To cut a long story short, I think it's possible (but not probable) that we have something here. I'm no expert and I'm only going off logic and reasoning. IMHO (DYOR) it's not probable because:

• Although the soil readings may be high these may be attributable to the soils being transported from a hot spot either by nature and time itself (erosion etc) or by man (fertilizers etc). If you look at OZM's map below, you can see that even OZM interprets the drainage flow direction being from the carbonatite complex (hot spot) towards where the soils for UV Target 1 were taken. Interestingly, the soil samples further along towards tenements 5 and 9 give the second highest cluster of Nb readings (samples SN31-35). This to me suggests that as the drainage flow progresses further to the north-east, it obviously gets weaker (or has less matter to transport).

• The signatures for Serra Negra and Salitre I, II and III are very well defined (see map below). There is no comparable signature for where OZM's UV Target 1 is. To me this suggests that whatever anomaly OZM's UV Target 1 is, it is inconsistent with Serra Negra and Salitre I, II, III. The history books will need to be re-written if OZM hits paydirt with UV Target 1. Is it possible that some plumbing extends from Serra Negra into OZM ground and that's where all the economic Nb mineralisation has settled? If possible, is that probable? I'm no geo, but IMHO (DYOR) logic tells me no.
