Aura Energy (ASX: AEE) is a uranium explorer with advanced projects in Sweden, West Africa and Australia. The company is focusing on two main projects: the Storsjön Project located in Sweden’s Alum Shale Province, one of the largest depositories of uranium in the world; and the highly prospective Reguibat Project in Mauritania.
Aura Energy’s main projects in Sweden are based on the Alum Shales, which have been historically known as one of the largest depositories of uranium in the world. Aura Energy has exploration permits and applications in three regions in west Africa: the Reguibat Craton in Mauritania, the Mauritanide Fold belt in Mauritania, and the Tim Mersoi Basin in Niger.
Aura Energy's resource drilling at Storsjön project confirms thick uranium mineralisation
Uranium-focussed Aura Energy (ASX: AEE) has received final assays from drilling of the remaining holes at the Storsjön Uranium‐Molybdenum‐Vanadium Project located in Sweden - and the results did not disappoint, confirming thick continuous mineralisation over 5km2 of the project.
The assay results from the remaining 19 holes have confirmed the visual observations that uranium‐molybdenum‐vanadium‐nickel‐zinc mineralisation occurs in a continuous thick sheet throughout the area.
The intersections vary from 25 metres to more than 229 metres in thickness. One drill hole, 31‐10, contains mineralisation from surface to the bottom of the hole at 249 metres, excepting two, six metre, limestone bands.
The average thickness of mineralisation in all drill holes completed in 2008 and 2010 within Aura’s Häggån permit is 108 metres. The permit has an area of 18 square kilometres.
A new area of very thick mineralisation from surface has been identified.
The assays included Hole HG029, which returned an intercept of 105.57m at 160ppm U308 from 98.89m to 204.46m, while Hole HG037 returned an intercept of 115.37m from 72.63m to 188m at 185ppm U308 and Hole HG031 returned 111.16m from 138m to 249.16m at 146ppm U308.
The assay data for all of Aura’s drilling has been provided to the resource consultants, Hellman and Schofield, to estimate an inferred resource.
The estimate is anticipated to be received by Aura before the end of July.
