The Hale River project covers 160km2 of Tertiary basin sediments. These sediments are prospective for palaeochannel roll-front type uranium deposits. Previous exploration of this project area, undertaken between 1979 and 1981, delineated a redox front within sands containing anomalous uranium.

The tenement constituting this project is granted. The Company’s exploration program commenced with an airborne HoistEM survey over the interpreted redox boundaries.               

The first and second phases of a comprehensive uranium exploration program at Hale River have been completed. 

The first phase of the program comprised a helicopter borne Hoist EM survey covering the company's Hale River and Plenty Highway tenements, which cover some 1,200 sq km of tertiary basin sediments.

The Hale River data has indicated a complex south easterly striking channel structure. Zones of conductive and resistive sediments (indicating reducing and oxidizing environments) have been interpreted within the main and subsidiary paleo-channels within the model. The revised modelling has also incorporated previous exploration drilling that has already identified anomalous areas of 'roll front style' uranium mineralisation.

Reconnaissance air core drilling at the Hale River Uranium Project has been completed with a total of 28 holes completed to date for 1,549m.

The Hoist EM survey was a technical success and identified numerous potential "trap sites" or conductive sediments within the Hale River paleo drainage system. Drilling indicated that the modelled depth to basement was essentially correct and that the conductive horizons identified in the Hoist EM survey were associated with the carbonaceous sediments, pyritic sands and lignite horizons and were not due to saline/hyper saline ground water. The drilling was difficult due to running sands and clay layers and high water flows.

Five of the six priority anomalies identified were tested with at least one hole to check the ground conditions, however the most prospective Hoist EM trap site with the coincident surface radiometric anomaly on the eastern side of the tenement could not be drilled due to access restrictions imposed by the Central Land Council.

Anomalous scintillometer readings several times background were associated with pyritic sands, carbonaceous clays and lignite. A number of samples returned assays between 20 and 100ppm U, these are considered anomalous and correlated well when compared to results from similar lignite horizons identified in the Hale River Basin by Alcoa in the 1980's.

Existing anomalies need further drill testing and work to date has confirmed the presence of suitable "trap sites" for roll front style Uranium mineralization.

The Harts Range project covers 362km2 of the Proteerozoic Harts Range Metamorphic Complex. The tenements were explored for uranium between 1992 and 1995 following the flying of the airborne radiometric and magnetic surveys. Numerous occurrences of uranium mineralisation were found, many of which were associated with alteration along structural breaks or contacts.

Reconnaissance sampling of the Harts Range tenement area was completed during October and November 2006, with several areas traversed. The main objective of the sampling program was to identify known prospects and determine optimal access routes and logistics for follow-up exploration. The project includes six tenements.

In the October program, eleven rock chips were taken on two out of the six granted tenements. Analysis was completed for 39 elements.

Five samples were taken at the Ryoma and Casper prospects, with results confirming the prosepectivity of this area returning elevated uranium values ranging from 121ppm to 227ppmU. Results were also elevated in rare earth elements ("REE") such as Yttrium and Zirconium. Sample HR8 also returned up to 1.62% Pb.

The results included a single sample result of 31.6% U. This hand-picked sample contained a significant portion of visible uraninite. Significantly, a number of large pegmatite bodies are located within the Harts Range Project.

Work to date in the Harts Range Project indicates that sporadic high uranium grades occur along NW trending structural corridors, suggesting a vein-type model for mineralisation such as that at Schwartzwalder in Colorado (USA). Mineralisation here occurs in numerous lenses associated with a major shear fault network and along contacts between mica schist and gneissic rocks.

More recently the area has become recognised as having emerging potential for base metals mineralisation including copper & nickel.  An airborne EM survey was conducted in February 2010 with results and interpretation awaited.
