Deep Yellow Limited To Update JORC Resources At Namibia INCA Uranium Deposit In October
30.09.2010 | ABN Newswire
09:51 AEST Sept 30, 2010 ABN Newswire (C) 2004-2010 Asia Business News PL. All Rights Reserved.Perth, Australia (ABN Newswire) - Deep Yellow Limited (ASX: DYL) (PINK: DYLLF) had previously indicated that an update of the Mineral Resource estimate for the INCA uranium deposit in Namibia, operated by wholly-owned subsidiary Reptile Uranium Namibia, would be completed in the September quarter. On 28 July 2010, DYL announced an update of the Mineral Resource estimate in accordance with the JORC Code by the MSA Group of South Africa, for the 'Main Resource Area' at INCA. This resource update increased total Indicated and Inferred Resources at INCA by 17% and increased grade by 9% with the updated resource totalling 17.1 million tonnes at 436 ppm eU3O8 for 7,429 tonnes (16.4 Mlbs) of U3O8 at 200 ppm U3O8 cut-off. In addition, total Indicated Resources doubled to 10 million lbs U3O8.
Since this announcement, resource work has continued at INCA. In July, DYL engaged Coffey Mining (Perth) to complete a further update of the Mineral Resource estimate, which will incorporate the INCA extension areas of mineralisation directly to the east and to the north, and will include sections of deeper but higher grade mineralisation. While this second update was anticipated to be complete before the end of September 2010, a modification of Coffey's scope of work and requirements for additional chemical assays has resulted in the completion date being pushed to the end of October 2010.
Coffey's scope of work was expanded by DYL to incorporate the previously published INCA resource estimate by MSA into a new total resource estimate for the expanded area. This was done to ensure consistency with the updated estimate and to bring the entire resource estimate under a single JORC Competent Person's review. The expanded scope of work required additional time to be added to the schedule.
In addition, a new gamma log correction factor had to be developed for very high-grade zones (>2,000 ppm eU3O8) of mineralisation, which required additional time-consuming chemical assays.
