GoviEx Completes RadonEx Exploration Program at Madaouela Project

GoviEx Uranium (TSXV:GXU) has announced its inaugural radon gas survey on its Madaouela uranium project has been completed.
As quoted in the press release:

A Radon survey will use surface mounted equipment to measure the presence of radon gas at depths of up to 250 metres. Radon gas is given off by and indicates the presence of uranium ores. Radon surveys have been responsible for uranium deposit discoveries worldwide.
The key findings from the RadonEx program are:
1. The exploration method was successful in outlining the known drilled deposits. The existing Miriam deposit was accurately identified by the study as a control;
2. The existence of a substantial exploration target approximately 1km wide by 5km long adjacent to and parallel with GoviEx’s existing Miriam Deposit at Madaouela in Niger, and;
3. The potential for the continued extension of the Marianne deposit, also at GoviEx’s Madaouela project with two zones defined to the north west and south west of the Marianne deposit extending towards the Cominak mine, operated by Areva.

Daniel Major, GoviEx’s CEO said:

We are very excited by the results of this initial survey which has focussed on a very limited part of our exploration tenements in Niger. The radon survey has not only highlighted a clear drill target adjacent to the Miriam deposit, which was the initial program focus, but also shown the exploration potential of our tenements, with strong radon anomalies recorded close both to the Miriam and the Marianne deposits.
