Haranga Resources Limited (ASX:HAR) has identified a new significant uranium anomaly in its continuing permit scale termite mound sampling (TMS) and Infill TMS at the Saraya-East prospect in Senegal.
Managing Director, Peter Batten, said all four stages of Haranga’s four-stage exploration process are currently being undertaken on the Saraya permit.
“Regional (wide spaced) termite mound sampling, infill (close spaced) termite mound sampling, auger drilling of identified termite anomalies and RC drilling of auger anomalies.
“It is a busy time for the field crews and it is pleasing to see that positive results are being realised from each of these four stages. The number of anomalous uranium prospects has increased from the seven historic prospects to eleven and work remains ongoing.
“Of the six auger drill targets defined, three targets have been tested, with two producing RC drill targets (Sanela1 and Mandankoly2) and three remain untested.
The RC rig is drilling at the Saraya deposit (16.1Mlbs @ 587ppm U3O8)3 and will move to test the auger drill anomaly at Mandankoly following completion of the short program,e at Saraya.
“It is satisfying to see that our exploration process is working and that by undertaking diligent fieldwork, we are producing positive results throughout the stages with the RC drilling still to come.”
Saraya-East Infill Survey
Infill termite mound sampling at Saraya East has identified another significant anomaly as a target for auger drilling. Saraya East is the 5th infill grid (Diobi, Saraya South, Mandankoly, Sanela and Saraya East) to be completed in the current program. Diobi East infill sampling is to commence next week.
The Saraya East Infill survey was sampled on a 200m by 50m grid, totalling 1552 termite mound samples. The pXRF results show an anomaly in the catchment of a stream draining the eastern Saraya Plateau. The anomaly is located less than four km east of the main Saraya uranium deposit. Anomalous values reached up 11ppm uranium more than four times the background level of uranium (2.5 ppm).
Further auger drilling is planned to better understand the orientation of the uranium source prior to RC drilling.
