    Subsurface Uranium Discovered by
    Tanzania Drilling
    Highlights
    • Multiple thick subsurface uranium
    mineralised zones discovered
    • Initial assay results show peak
    intersections of
    o 7 metres at 1,233 ppm U3O8
    (including 3 metres at 2,607 ppm U3O8)
    o 7 metres at 549 ppm U3O8
    (including 4 metres at 843 ppm U3O8)
    o 6 metres at 507 ppm U3O8
    (including 2 metres at 1,145 ppm U3O8)
    o 7 metres at 400 ppm U3O8
    (including 3 metres at 770 ppm U3O8)
    o 4 metres at 515 ppm U3O8
    (including 2 metres at 855 ppm U3O8)
    • Drilling to recommence early August
    Drilling Results
    Results to date have shown that strong subsurface mineralisation is present. The drilling has
    indicated multiple mineralised horizons preferentially hosted in sandstone units frequently at
    or near contact with mudstone units. This is typical for sandstone hosted roll front style
    uranium deposits such as the Kyelekera deposit in nearby Malawi.
    The drill section shown in Diagram 3 shows that three mineralised zones are evident above a
    cut-off grade of 50ppm U3O8 with consistent intersections within these zones above a 100
    ppm U3O8 cut-off. The peak intersection of 7 metres at 1,233 ppm U3O8 is located 200 metres
    from this section on another drilling profile. Deeper drilling in future will determine if more
    mineralisation is present below those identified to date. Intersection widths range up to 7
    metres, encouraging for the economic potential of the area.
    Diagram 3: Cross Section Henri Prospect
    Peak intersections above 100 ppm U3O8 cutoff achieved include:
    7 metres at 1,233 ppm U3O8 from surface
    7 metres at 549 ppm U3O8 from 9 metres
    6 metres at 507 ppm U3O8 from 6 metres
    7 metres at 400 ppm U3O8 from 12 metres
    4 metres at 515ppm U3O8 from 24 metre

    Notes on Table 1:
    Samples have been collected by riffle splitting dry intervals and representative tube sampling of wet
    intervals. Samples have been analysed by ICP using laboratory method ME-ICP61s by ALS Chemex
    laboratory Perth Australia. Certified reference standards and blanks have been included by Western Metals
    in addition to laboratory control standards. All results are in U3O8 ppm uranium with analysis method
    accuracy quoted at ± 10 ppm U3O8. Co-ordinates are WGS84 and have been measured by hand held GPS.
