GTI Energy Ltd (ASX: GTR) (GTI or Company) is pleased to advise that the data acquisition phase has been completed for the Company’s airborne geophysical surveys at its Lo Herma, Green Mountain and Loki West, ISR uranium exploration project areas in Wyoming. The survey was conducted using a twin- engine aircraft loaded with a suite of sensors that provide detailed radiometric, magnetic and electromagnetic data, allowing for correlation between the three products to further refine the Company’s high-priority targets and potentially locate new targets for upcoming drill programs.
- Aerial geophysics data acquisition completed
- Final report & imaging due September 2023
- AU$490,000 exploration drilling bond returned by the State of Wyoming LQD
The preliminary geophysical images require further processing, and any additional interpreted zones of radiometric anomalism will require corroboration by field exploration work including drilling. The final report and interpretations are expected to be available during September at which point the Company expects to provide an update.
EXPLORATION DRILLING BOND RETURN
Wyoming’s Department of Environmental Quality’s Land Quality Division (LQD) had advised that, after inspection of the Company’s drill hole reclamation and abandonment efforts at the Thor project area, drilling bonds of US$332,587.50 (AU$489,099 based on an exchange rate of US68¢per AU$1) were approved for release back to the Company.
