As indicated previously (ASX Announcement 9 July 2020), breakthrough results were achieved at Barking Gecko which has justified continuation of activities on this anomalous uranium target, with all parties involved in the Nova Joint Venture (NJV) agreeing to proceed with further investigations.
In September 2020, Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC) achieved its 39.5% earn-in interest of the NJV, having spent A$4.5M over the past four years.
The equity position of the parties in the NJV is now as follows:
Reptile Mineral Resources & Exploration (Pty) Ltd
Subsidiary of Deep Yellow Limited
39.5% (and Manager)
Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC)
39.5% (right to equity)
Nova Energy (Africa) Pty Ltd
Subsidiary of Toro Energy Ltd
15%
Sixzone Investments (Pty) Ltd
Namibia
6% (carried interest)
Post completion of the JOGMEC earn-in, all parties in the NJV have agreed to a six-month budget of A$570,000 to 31 March 2021 to fund the next drilling campaign at Barking Gecko, which will initially focus on targeted follow-up drilling where thick intersections of uranium were intersected, analogous to that occurring in the Rossing and Husab uranium deposits.
This drilling program will involve a 13-hole RC program totalling 3,200m, initially to test in the vicinity of the positive holes that were drilled in the previous program and establish a better understanding of the 4km by 1km prospective zone that has been delineated. Importantly downhole logging to obtain optical imagery will be carried out to better determine the structural orientation of the zones of mineralisation, in addition to the routine gamma downhole logging that will be undertaken. This program may also involve drilling of some diamond core tails to enable closer examination of the mineralised zones.
The first phase of drilling is planned to commence on 13 November 2020, with completion expected by mid-December 2020. On analysis of these drilling results, the second phase of the drill program is anticipated to start mid/late January 2021.
