AEE (ASX) General information

Hi Snave

This is what I’m looking at…
We know Tiris is characterised by shallow flat-lying mineralisation (1-5m) and additionally, there is plenty of info on Tiris mineralisation.

Tiris uranium project location and geology
The Tiris uranium project is located approximately 680km from the nearby town of Zouerat and 1,440km from the Mauritanian Capital, Nouakchott.
It is located on the Paleoproterozoic rocks of the Reguibat Craton that are primarily granitoids, meta-sedimentsand volcanics, generally of high metamorphic grade.
The rocks containing low uranium content appear to be pale grey medium-grained granite with coarse phenocrysts of plagioclase. The higher uranium content rocks are mildly hot granite that appears to be finer-grained pink porphyritic granites, which are typically fractured and foliated.
Uranium mineralisation is formed in 1 to 12m-thick shallow horizontal tabular bodies, hosted in weathered granite and granitic sediments. Vanadium is found with uranium in carnotite, as potassium uranium vanadate.

CARNOTITE
Chemistry: K2(UO2)2(VO4)2- 1-3H2O , Hydrated Potassium Uranyl Vanadate.Class: PhosphatesGroup: Vanadium OxysaltUses: An important ore of uranium and vanadium and as mineral specimens.Specimens

Carnotite is a relatively uncommon mineral, yet common enough to be an important ore of uranium and vanadium. Uranium and vanadium are two extremely strategic metals. Carnotite is closely related totyuyamunite, Ca(UO2)2(VO4)2- 5-8H2O. The chemistries are very similar with potassium replacing calcium and a different percentage of water, however the structures are slightly different as tyuyamunite is orthorhombic and carnotite is monoclinic. The two minerals are often found together and are essentially indistiguishable by ordinary methods. Meteoric oxygenated waters dissolve the uranium from primary uranium minerals and the uranium is later deposited in reducing enviroments more favorable to the formation of carnotite. Since many deposits in sandstones are associated with petrified trees and other fossils, it is reasonable to assume that the decaying material helped produce the required reducing enviroment. Carnotite is an uncommon and interesting uranium mineral that can coat host rocks with an attractive yellow powder. Remember, this is also a radioactive mineral and should be stored away from other minerals that are affected by radioactivity and human exposure should always be limited.

PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS:
Color is bright yellow.
Luster is pearly to dull or earthy.
Transparency: Crystals are translucent to opaque.
Crystal System is monoclinic; 2/m
Crystal Habits include crusts, earthy masses, foliated and granular aggregates.
Cleavage is perfect in one direction.
Fracture is uneven.
Hardness is 2.
Specific Gravity is approximately 4 - 5 (heavy for translucent minerals), higher gravity with lower water content.
Streak is yellow.
Associated Minerals include other uranium and vanadium minerals in sandstones and limestones.
Other Characteristics: Radioactive and notfluorescent.
Notable Occurrences include many locations in Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona, Utah, Grants, New Mexico and Mauch Chunk, Carbon Co, Pennsylvania, USA; Shaba, Zaire; Morocco; Radium Hill, Australia and Kazakhstan.
Best Field Indicators are bright yellow color, density, habit, lack of any fluorescence, radioactivity and associations.

If we mix a bright yellow with the brown of petrified vegetation we would get the colour seen in the photo.

I’m really looking forward to the drilling results

‘The Ambassador of the Republic of Mozambique, Amadeu Paulo Da Conceição, deposited an instrument of ratification of the 2005 Amendment to the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material (CPPNM). The CPPNM focuses on the physical protection of nuclear material used for peaceful purposes during international transport.’

Reminder: The soon to be completed infil drilling program at Tiris, covers 10 km. Results expected Q4
