More drilling success for A-Cap Resources at Letlhakane Uranium Project in Botswana
Ongoing drilling at the Gorgon North Prospect at Letlhakane Uranium Project in Botswana has returned some significant uranium intercepts for A-Cap Resources (ASX: ACB). Drilling was undertaken as part of a planned resource upgrade which will occur in the 2nd half of 2009.
The Letlhakane Uranium Project has a JORC Inferred Resource of 98 Million lb Uranium oxide at an average grade 158 ppm at a cut-off grade of 100 ppm. Projected cash costs are $33 per pound with planned production of 2 million pounds per annum.
A-Cap is working on a revised exploration plan and budget that reflects the Company’s improved cash position after the Capital Raise announced to the ASX on May 6th 2009. Funds raised will be used to complete the feasibility study of the Letlhakane Uranium Project due to commence in the third quarter of 2009.

Two new Prospecting Licences (PL) have been granted to A-Cap by the Department of Geological Survey Botswana (DGS); PL122_2009 is immediately east of the existing Mea and Sua PLs, and PL 125_2009 is to the north of the Letlhakane Project. Both licences cover a portion of the Karoo Supergroup –Proterozoic Basement unconformity, which is considered by A-Cap to be especially prospective for uranium mineralisation.
