U3o8 (TSX:UWE) has announced similar channels of its recent discovery of higher-grade uranium-vanadium mineralization at La Rosada have been delineated in, and beneath, the lowermost gravel layer at the project.
As quoted in the press release:

These levels are in addition to the layer of mineralization on which the resource estimate was based and may represent significant resource growth potential at Laguna Salada.
“By applying what we have learned from the discovery of higher-grade uranium-vanadium in the La Rosada area, announced in the last few weeks, our exploration team has identified similar higher-grade layers at the base of the gravel, and beneath the gravel, at Laguna Salada,” said Dr. Richard Spencer, CEO of U3O8 Corp. “The identification of higher-grade potential provides an opportunity to further reduce estimated production costs for the Laguna Salada Deposit. In addition, it opens up new targets for shallow uranium-vanadium mineralization in soft gravel, sand and silt that can be inexpensively explored through trenching.”
