73 km of Prospective Palaeochannels Identified at Capri

Elevate Uranium Limited (“Elevate Uranium”, or the “Company”) (ASX:EL8) (OTCQX: ELVUF) is pleased to announce completion of an airborne electro-magnetic survey (“EM”) and radiometric survey flown over EPL7508 (named Capri) in the Central Erongo Area, Namibia (Figure 1).


Elevate Uranium’s Managing Director, Murray Hill, commented:


“With the airborne EM survey identifying 73 kilometres of palaeochannel within the tenement, Capri is shaping up to be another exciting tenement for the Company. In addition, the airborne survey identified large areas with significant uranium radiometric responses coinciding with sections of the palaeochannels, which we have only previously seen in areas of the Marenica Uranium Project where shallow uranium mineralisation is present. A drilling program will be undertaken in the June Quarter 2022 to explore these palaeochannels. The Company is encouraged that it continues to identify significant exploration drill targets in this highly prospective uranium province.”


This latest survey totalled 477 line kilometres of EM and radiometric data on NW-SE oriented flight lines spaced at 250 metres, where the sensor flying height was nominally 35 metres. This survey covered the northern portion of the tenement and is complementary with an older frequency domain electromagnetic survey flown to the south of the tenement. These two surveys have been interpreted to infer the palaeochannels shown in Figure 1.


The combined surveys have identified north-western and south-eastern palaeochannels in a geological location prospective for “calcrete-type” uranium, similar to that at the Marenica Uranium Project on which the Company developed its U-pgradeTM beneficiation process (Figure 2). The north-western palaeochannel extends for at least 48 kilometres within Capri. Of particular significance is the presence of a 10 x 5 kilometre area of anomalous radiometric uranium response coincident with or immediately adjacent to an inferred palaeochannel.

Trump Admin Pushes for Uranium Stockpile Boost to Secure Nuclear Power Future

The US is stepping up efforts to expand its strategic uranium stockpile as Washington looks to shield nuclear power from supply risks tied to Russia and bolster domestic output.

Secretary of Energy Chris Wright told Bloomberg on Monday (September 15) that the Trump administration is determined to reduce US dependence on Russian-enriched uranium. It still accounts for about a quarter of the fuel used in America’s 94 nuclear reactors, which generate roughly 20 percent of the nation’s electricity.

“We’re moving to a place — and we’re not there yet — to no longer use Russian enriched uranium,” he said. “We hope to see rapid growth in uranium consumption in the US from both large reactors and small modular reactors. The size of that right buffer would grow with time. We need a lot of domestic uranium and enrichment capacity.”

Laramide Identifies Targets for 15,000 Meter Drill Program at Kazakhstan Uranium Project

Laramide Resources (TSX:LAM,ASX:LAM,OTCQX:LMRXF) announced that it has identified multiple target areas for a 15,000 meter drill program at its Chu-Sarysu project in Kazakhstan.

Uranium remains the company's primary focus, but the asset is also prospective for rare earths and copper.

“This inaugural exploration program for Laramide in Kazakhstan is targeting high-grade, large-scale uranium deposits, amenable to cost-efficient and environmentally responsible in-situ recovery mining, and within a district that already hosts infrastructure and producing operations, which provides clear cost advantages,” said President and CEO Marc Henderson in a press release shared on Monday (September 15).

Uranium.io Shakes Up Uranium Market With Launch of Real-Time Price Oracle

Uranium.io Shakes Up Uranium Market With Launch of Real-Time Price Oracle

Uranium-related financial instruments, such as ETFs, have outperformed bitcoin this year.

The crypto industry is not just about ETFs and price surges; it's also about tackling real-world market inefficiencies. The launch of Uranium.io's near-real-time uranium pricing oracle is a prime example of that.

Uranium.io, a platform tokenizing Uranium, unveiled its pricing oracle on Tuesday, aimed at addressing the price opacity issues in the uranium market.
