    Olympia Resources to Explore for Uranium on
    Northern Territory Tenements
    As previously announced the Board of Directors of Olympia Resources Limited (ASX Code:
    OLY) has commissioned an independent review of Olympia’s tenements in the Northern
    Territory. The review has been completed by Vince Roberts and Associates Pty Ltd. The
    study has concluded that “an attractive grass roots potential for uranium exists on the
    tenements generally, and should be investigated by appropriate exploration.”
    Based on the results of the study Olympia will immediately commence exploration activities
    for uranium in the Harts Range area in the Northern Territory. Initially this will involve a
    thorough review of all existing available data, detailed mapping and geophysical assessment
    prior to designing radiometric survey and drilling programs.
    Several other companies hold tenements for uranium exploration in the Harts Range area.
    These companies include Newera Uranium Ltd, Red Metal Ltd and Oklo Uranium Ltd.
    The uranium potential for the area is considered to be related to the Arunta Metamorphics
    and Valley-fill type deposits as well as a prominent uranium anomaly in the Eastern portion of
    the tenement block.
    Arunta Metamorphics
    The Olympia tenements cover an extensive area of Arunta Metamorphics, which are known
    to contain two uranium deposits (Napperby-New Well and Nolans Bore) and various uranium
    occurrences elsewhere in the region. The types of deposit being sought by Olympia are in
    structurally controlled situations (e.g. vein/fault related including IOCG types) within
    metamorphic rocks, and possibly disseminated uranium in granitic intrusives. It is expected
    that there is likely to be a variety of potentially favourable rocks within the Olympia tenements.
    Valley-fill Deposits
    Alluvial paleochannels of Tertiary age have developed along some of the more mature parts
    of the main drainage systems of the Arunta Block. These palaeochannels are favourable
    sites for the development of “roll-front” and calcrete style deposits of uranium. Mr Roberts
    points out that these deposits are likely to be buried and will require careful exploration.
    There is a prominent uranium anomaly in the eastern portion of the tenement block where a
    prominent and extensive uranium channel, aero-radiometric anomaly accompanies a strong
    lineament in the eastern part of the tenement block that warrants exploration.
