Anson is developing the Yellow Cat Uranium Project near Thompson Springs, Utah. It has conducted several exploration programs which consist of geological mapping, locating historical drill holes and adits as well as XRF sampling and later rock sampling and assaying.

It should be noted that Anson remains focused on the development of the Paradox Lithium Project, Utah.

Anson’s Yellow Cat Project is located 30 km north of Moab, in the Thompson District, Grand County Utah. There are two separate areas: the Yellow Cat claims and the Yellow Cat West claims, see ASX announcement 29 October 2021.

The Yellow Cat Project is considered prospective for the development of both uranium and vanadium due to the high historic grade mineralisation present on the claims. The project is located in a region that is increasingly sought-after by companies exploring for uranium, supported by the recent increase in uranium prices.

Surface outcrops and ore pad grab samples have previously been submitted for laboratory analysis.

High grade assay values of up to 87,600ppm uranium (U) (10.33% U₃O₈) and 143,500ppm vanadium (V) (25.61% V₂O₅) were reported. A summary of the results of the elemental values and the more common metal oxides can be found in Anson’s ASX announcement 29 October 2021.

Anson is sourcing quotes from contractors to carry out the surveys required for Yellow Cat Project to obtain approvals for exploration drilling programs. The aim of the exploration programs is to confirm existing results and to extend the known mineralisation along strike and down dip, see Figure 1.
