AFRICAN URANIUM EXPLORATION YIELDS PROMISING RESULTS IN LINE WITH EXPECTATIONS

AFRICAN URANIUM EXPLORATION YIELDS PROMISING RESULTS IN LINE WITH
EXPECTATIONS
Key Points:
- Exploration drilling by Africa Uranium Limited in Namibia identifies
extensive calcrete hosted uranium mineralisation proximal to the Langer
Heinrich uranium mine,
- Drilling has confirmed existence of shallow calcrete hosted uranium
mineralisation over a large area in the "Southern Basin,"
- Africa Uranium owns highly prospective uranium tenements in Namibia and
exploration applications in South Africa, and
- Cape Lambert has a 10% beneficial interest in Africa Uranium Limited.
Australian resources and investment company, Cape Lambert Iron Ore Limited
(ASX: CFE) ("Cape Lambert" or the "Company") is pleased to advise that
recently completed drilling at the Hoasib project in Namibia tenements by
private company Africa Uranium Limited ("Africa Uranium") has yielded
promising results in line with expectations.
Africa Uranium has uranium exploration projects in Namibia and South
Africa, with its flagship project being the Hoasib project located in
Namibia (refer Figure 1).
The Hoasib project area is covered by mineral
lease EPL 3664, owned by Green Minerals Resources Pty Ltd, which is a joint
venture between the Bastos Foundation (30%) and Africa Uranium (70%).
Cape Lambert, via its 100% owned subsidiary Dempsey Resources Pty Ltd
("Dempsey"), has obtained a 10% beneficial interest through a Convertible
Note issued in 2009 (see ASX announcement released 28 August 2009).
In late 2009 Africa Uranium completed two drilling programs on the Hoasib
Project, confirming the existence of shallow calcrete hosted uranium
mineralisation over a large area in the "Southern Basin".
Wide-spaced
drilling (predominantly 1,000 m by 500 m) has defined low grade uranium in
calcrete over an area of 4 km by 1.5 km, which appears open along strike
(Figure 2).
In erosional channels visible uranium (carnotite mineral) has been
identified over approximately 8 km strike within the Southern Basin.
Results of greater than 100 ppm U3O8 and eU3O8 (1) identify up to two
consistent mineralised horizons within the top 11 metres of alluvial
material from surface, with the upper horizon exposed by creek beds in
places.
The best results received to date include 308 eU3O8 (1) over 0.10 m
from the downhole gamma probe and 181 U3O8 (2) over 0.5 m in physical
sample.
Mr Tony Sage, Executive Chairman of Cape Lambert, believes the commencement
of exploration activities at Hoasib has not only yielded results in line
with expectations but given the company and investors and insight into the
potential of the project.
"Africa Uranium has defined the broad outline of one area of mineralisation
in the Southern Basin, however the reconnaissance drilling is widely spaced
and we believe any higher-grade mineralised channels will be individually
less than 50 metres wide," Mr Sage said.
"There are more areas to explore in the Southern Basin, plus two more
untested alluvial basins to the north, not to mention the possibility of
hard-rock uranium mineralisation," Mr Sage added.
Africa Uranium proposes to continue reconnaissance exploration, to fully
test and define other targets, before committing to detailed exploration in
any one area.
