Argonaut Resources NL, to be renamed
Orpheus Uranium Limited, is pleased to announce the formal grant of two projects highly prospective for sedimentary-hosted roll-front and tabular-style uranium mineralisation, located within proximity to the Company’s Frome project in the Frome Embayment, in the Southern Curnamona Region and Murray-Darling Basin of South Australia.
Highlights
URANIUM PROJECTS GRANTED
Mundaerno Project – Exploration licence granted
• EL 6958 Mundaerno project is located approximately 12 kilometres south of the Honeymoon Uranium Mine, comprises a portion of the headwaters of the highly prospective Yarramba Palaeochannel and is positioned directly on top of Mesoproterozoic granitic rocks that are potential source rocks of the uranium.
• The Yarramba Palaeochannel hosts significant sedimentary-hosted uranium deposits, including: Honeymoon Uranium Mine (36 Mlbs contained U3O8), Yarramba (Jasons) deposit (11 Mlbs contained U3O8); held by Boss Energy Ltd (ASX: BOE), as well as a number of uranium occurrences.
• Limited historic drilling during 2011 intercepted Tertiary sequence sediments of the Yarramba Palaeochannel and confirmed uranium mineralisation in weathered basement which yielded a peak uranium value of 130 ppm U.
Radium Hill South Project - Competitive exploration licence granted
• EL 6960 Radium Hill South project was awarded to Orpheus by the Government of South Australia via a competitive application process.
• The Radium Hill South project contains five (5) exceptional uranium prospects with drill ready targets, located within the Olary Palaeovalley System containing up to five kilometres strike length of Tertiary palaeochannels prioritised for geophysical targeting and drilling.
