where is the thorium, page-2

Are yes this is the article i was looking for !


It would appear the report made in 1978 about the Hakskeen farm is not in agreement with Dr Steven - it
concluded high levels of carnotite (ie no Thorium) along with a known reserve. A Granite based deposit is not mentioned and it sounds suspiciously like the description of Langer Heinrich. One should seriously question the spin given in the Namibian:

The following is from 1978 report-
"A radiometric survey located the eastern
extension of the mineralized Klein Trekkopje
palaeochannel on the farm Hakskeen 89 (Fig.
32).
Carnotite mineralisation appears to be
surface accumulation confined to the northern
side of a wide calcrete basin. A fair proportion
of this mineralisation occurs in gypcrete which
accounts for the prominent surface radiometric
anomaly. The proven ore reserves are 361 250 t
of U3O8 at 331 g/t (Johnston, 1978)."
