The majority of this drilling has been focussed on converting inferred mineralisation to an indicated category in the proposed Kendrick production unit located to the west of the Ross production unit.
It has successfully intersected thick intervals of high grade uranium mineralisation due to targeting the nose of the roll front systems. Drilling Program In May 2011 a drill program comprising resource conversion and exploration drilling commenced in the Kendrick area. During the period 20 December 2011 to 31 January 2012 a total of 108 holes were completed, of which 61 holes encountered uranium mineralisation (> 100ppm) and 19 holes reported GT values exceeding 0.2.
The location of the drilling is shown in Figure 1 below.
