PROJECTS
URO Corporation has secured extensive landholdings covering over 11,000 square kilometres of highly prospective and underexplored ground in the Northern Territory across two key projects: Chilling and Charley Creek. Our titles present a significant opportunity across a diverse range of resource depositional styles with analogous geology to known commercial discoveries. URO Corp intends to leverage the considerable work undertaken by the previous owners to delineate a commercial resource.
CHILLING
Potential Types of Deposits
-
Uranium unconformity-related - unconformity between Palaeoproterozoic metamorphic basement, overlying Mesoproterozoic and younger sedimentary rocks
-
Iron-oxide breccia-hosted copper-gold-uranium
-
Granite, pegmatite and shear zone related uranium, rare earth elements, tin and tantalum
-
Copper lead zinc silver ± gold volcano-sedimentary and meta-sediment hosted massive or disseminated mineralisation
-
Nickel, copper, Platinum Group Elements (PGEs)
-
Intrusion and/or structurally related gold
Prospecting Rationale
- Emulate Crossland - Previous Chilling Area tenement holder
- Crossland’s technical findings
-
Crossland selected Chilling area due to ‘Primary Hub’ potential
-
Used confidential data supplied by Paradigm Geoscience (Global Geoscience Limited)
-
Identified wide variety of deposit styles due to source rocks presence, host lithologies with suitable structure
-
Mineralisation found at depth
-
Western mirror image of the Alligator Rivers Uranium Province (ARUP)
-
Region produced base metals, gold and tin-tantalum
CHARLEY CREEK
Potential Types of Deposits
- Uranium granite, pegmatite, shear zone related uranium and rare earth elements (REE)
-
Iron-oxide breccia-hosted copper-gold-uranium
-
Uranium palaeodrainage carbonate type
-
Uranium palaeodrainage redox-related
-
REE and Uranium in late stage felsic intrusives
-
REE in alluvial sediments (mineral sands)
-
Nickel, copper, vanadium and PGEs related to mafic intrusions
-
Polymetallic metamorphic-related deposits
-
Orogenic gold
Prospecting Rationale
- Emulate Crossland - Previous Chilling Area tenement holder
- Crossland’s technical findings regarding Uranium prospectivity:
-
Used confidential data supplied by Paradigm Geoscience (Global Geoscience Limited)
-
Nickel-copper-PGE accumulations associated with the ultramafic phases of the Mt Hay granulite
-
Highly metamorphosed Palaeoproterozoic mafic intrusive complex
-
Geological mapping by Rio Tinto Exploration (1997) confirmed layered mafic complex
-
Concentrate exploration of radiometrically anomalous Teapot Granite for uranium
-
0.228% U3O8 inTeapot Granite in association with secondary uranium mineralisation hosted in the granite
-
Potentially in greater quantities with additional exploration
-
CRA Exploration water bore readings of 41ppb U indicating uraniferous ground waters
-
Prospective for two secondary uranium deposit types (Analogue: Napperby Deposit)
- REE focus following reassessment of aircore geochemical data
- Anomalous Cerium and other REE in both alluvium and saprolite
- Alluvium-hosted REE resources were calculated
- Large swathes of project area remain prospective for REE
- Basement and cover rocks remain prospective for wide variety of commodities
BLOODWOOD PROJECT
Prospecting Rationale
- Crossland’s technical findings and rationale
-
Arunta Province, north of Ngalia Basin
-
Sandstone-type uranium occurrences on periphery of Ngalia Basin
-
Rock types similar to tenements east of Bloodwood
-
Anomalous uranium found e.g. Crystal Creek
-
-
Crossland exploration based on prospectivity for uranium and base metals
-
Area not adequately tested - mostly surface or shallow sampling and surface ecological mapping
-
Past explorers concentrated on gold
-
Prospects and areas of geochemical anomalism identified include:
-
Venerable Creek radiometric anomalism, U up to 810ppm in relatively shallow drilling, outcrop sample
-
Wilson’s Find (Singleton tungsten-copper) scheelite-copper bearing quartz veins, rock chips >1000 ppm copper
-
Elevated Ni-Zn-Bi-Cu-Au in soil and drill-hole samples
-
Drill-hole samples with anomalous Cu-Bi-Au and Au-Ag-Bi
-
