Deep Yellow Limited announced that the Phase 1 follow-up drill program, which comprises 14 holes for 3,500m at the Barking Gecko North prospect (EPL3669) commenced on 12 July 2021 anticipated to be completed mid-September. Phase 2 will be a similar drilling program to follow once the results of Phase1 drilling are fully determined. Barking Gecko is part of the Nova Joint Venture project (NJV) in Namibia, located within EPL 369. Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC) completed its 39.5% earn-in obligation through expenditure of AUD 4.5 million. The drill program is focused on defining the 3D setting of the mineralised alaskite intrusions and testing extensions of the strong mineralisation discovered at Barking Gecko North in 2020 and confirmed with the follow-up drilling in March as reported to ASX on 19 April 2021. The Company and its JV partners are highly encouraged by the early results of the program, with all four holes intersecting uranium mineralisation. The standout highlight from the first set of results is from hole TN258RC, which intersected 62m at 537ppm eU3O8 contained in four intersections over 75m from 178m depth, resulting in the best mineralised interval to date at this Project, displacing the previous best intersection of TN253RC. TN258RC ended in mineralisation at 253m depth and could not be continued due to the lack of drilling rods available on site. Drilling will extend this hole at a later date, when drilling rods become available. The NW-SE orientated drill line at Barking Gecko North is drilled with holes 100m apart, continuing from the March drilling program, infilling to 50m hole spacing with TN256RC and TN258RC at the south-eastern end. This area of the prospect has delivered the best drill results, which are shown as cross-sections. In this program, two RC holes (TN257RC and TN259RC) were drilled 50m to the southwest and northeast of TN253RC, respectively, to better define the 3D structural setting of the well mineralized alaskite intrusions encountered in the initial discovery hole TN253RC. Structural interpretation of televiewer downhole logging technology (OPTV) indicated that the main structural trend of the mineralized intrusions is northeast-southwest and the current drilling seems to confirm this trend. However, final confirmation is expected from OPTV surveys to be conducted on selected drill holes once the current program is completed. In-house portable XRF (pXRF) assaying was carried out on all one metre samples of TN256RC and TN257RC, totaling 506 samples, and showed that mineralization is uranium dominant, with minor thorium associated. U/(U+Th) ratios average at 0.8 and underpin previous pXRF results from the March drilling campaign. Three thin thorium-dominated intersections were removed from the quoted intersections. The results from the first four holes drilled on the NJV Barking Gecko North Prospect are highly encouraging, with the prospective nature of the Barking Gecko North zone being confirmed. The size of the prospective area at Barking Gecko North is estimated to be 2km by 1km and results indicate the potential for continuation of the mineralisation to the southeast and at depth. Further drilling is currently progressing to test the extension of the mineralization to the southeast and this Phase 1 of drilling is expected to be completed in mid-September.
