The survey was designed to provide higher resolution data to identify new uranium targets for follow up fieldwork – including possible future drilling. Multiple targets were identified as the radiometric survey data was processed and then reviewed by Raisama’s exploration team.
The four main target areas vary in size from 0.25sqkm to more than 5.5sqkm. The newly identified uranium targets extend over a 22km northwest trend along the identified palaeo drainage route of the Yannarie River. The strike of the targets range in extent from 1.6km to more than 6.5km, providing follow up exploration potential.
A total of 2387 line kilometres was flown at 100mt spacing over the Yannarie River project. The project is located approximately 85km south of the Manyingee uranium deposit and 50km north of the Jailor Bore terrace calcrete uranium deposit in the Gascoyne province of Western Australia. The Yannarie River exploration licence ELA08/2008, held by Raisama, covers an area of approximately 176sqkm.
The company said that further exploration work will include geological mapping and surface sampling in preparation for drilling during 2010.
