some background for big leb

Big Leb,

I will prove you wrong here, not one post of downramping by me will come. See below for background info of next drill.


The Yanrey Project is comprised of seven Exploration licences and applications covering 1,502 km2 of Carnarvon Basin sediments, 85 kilometres south of Onslow in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.

The project covers Cretaceous sediments that are highly prospective for sandstone hosted roll front uranium mineralisation similar to that at the adjacent Manyingee Uranium Deposit (Paladin Resources 100%), which has published indicated and inferred resources of 12,078 tonnes at 0.08% U3O8. The Manyingee Deposit has had 400 drill holes and pre-feasibility studies, including trial field testing of in-situ leaching (ISL), completed by 1985. It is a typical stacked roll front deposit with mineralisation between 70 to 110 m depth within Cretaceous channel sediments. Click to Enlarge


The company has completed detailed data acquisition, analysis and review of techniques used by previous exploration companies in the project area.

Previous Exploration

Previous drilling at the Bennet Well prospect area conducted by CRAE in the late 70's and early 80's (158 holes for approximately 15,000 metres) showed a complex palaeochannel with mineralisation extending for some 4 kilometres. Broad spaced drilling (1,000m X 400m) was conducted which identified mineralised zones in sandstone and claystone sequences of the Nanutarra Formation and a 40 kilometre redox boundary. This drilling has shown the palaeochannel to be up to 3 kilometres wide and infilled with up to 95 metres of Cretaceous sediments. Later infill drilling identified broad zones of mineralisation as shown above. A list of
