Ashburton Mineralisation Expands as Project Delivers Wide and High-grade Uranium Drill Results

Piche Resources Limited (ASX: PR2) (“Piche” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce drilling results from a further eight holes at its Ashburton uranium project in Western Australia. Results to date highlight the potential for both high grade and broad zones of uranium mineralisation.

ADD003 39.28m @ 553 ppm eU3O8 from 124.12m

incl 1.28m @ 1,460 ppm eU3O8 from 125.46m

and 0.84m @ 1,184 ppm eU3O8 from 151.54m

and 2.42m @ 2,681 ppm eU3O8 from 155.10m

  • Analyses of the drill core has
    1. demonstrated a northwest structural control on mineralisation
    2. mineralisation along the unconformity and
    3. within the overlying sandstone and the basement.

The combined reverse circulation and diamond drilling programme has exceeded the Company’s expectations, having met its original aims of confirming historical results, testing the potential northwest structural control of mineralisation, and expanding the known uranium mineralised envelope.

Results from the drilling are included in Table 1 with the drill hole details in Table 2. In total, 1,776m of reverse circulation drilling and 1,147m of diamond drilling have been completed for a total of 18 holes.

Drilling at Angelo A has confirmed the continuity of mineralisation, identified a steeply dipping mineralised structure and highlighted the undulating nature of the Proterozoic unconformity (Figure 1). A potential northwest trending structure containing uranium mineralisation was intersected between ARC004 and ARC006.

Evidence of a mineralised northwest oriented structure was encountered in ADD001, located over 1km to the northwest of Angelo A. Structural logging of this hole highlighted a shallow dipping (35 degrees) mineralised structural trending to the northwest.

The drilling programme has also confirmed historical drill results from over 40 years ago.

Diamond drill hole ADD003 identified 39.28 metres of uranium mineralisation (Figure 2), highlighting the potential to expand the area of mineralisation at both the Angelo A & B prospects, and along strike to the northwest and southeast.
