The mineral resource estimate has been calculated at 92 million tonnes averaging 320 ppm eU3O8 for a contained 65 million pounds of eU3O8 at a lower cut-off grade of 200 ppm eU3O8.
The increased resource is based on a combination of new information including new detailed (1: 5,000 scale) geological mapping over much of the deposit by KORES in 2009.
KORES also completed ground radiometric traverses at 50m spacings along strike over much of the deposit.
The company now has the assay results from a number of costeans excavated along the strike of the resource, which demonstrate the along strike continuity of the mineralization.
Stonehenge has recently been able to gain access to the historic drill core from the original drilling at the Daejon project through an agreement signed with Korean government agency, KIGAM as part of a collaborative research program with Kongju University.
The company has recently received the results of selective sampling of a 350m long adit that was developed into the central part of the Daejon ore body.
The sampling was designed to reproduce the results of previous historical sampling completed by KORES.
The sampling also shows that the deposit hosts wide zones of uranium mineralization at grades well above the previously announced bulk grade of the deposit.
Stonehenge commenced its maiden diamond drilling program in Korea following a strong surface outcrop sampling results from chemical assay at its Gwesan project (up to 5,354ppm U3O8 and 2,017 V2O5.
