Myriad Uranium Corp. announced that Myriad personnel are safe and operations have been unaffected by yesterday's coup d'etat in Niger. The Company's current high resolution magnetometer and magnetotellurics (AMT) surveys along the Azouza fault within the Afouday licence continue uninterrupted.

2,452 kilometres of 50m-spaced magnetometer lines have been flown, with an additional 517 line-kilometres planned at Afouday before pause on or before August 10th. Teams in the capital Niamey and in the field near Agadez report that the situation is calm, that their work is uninterrupted, and that ongoing geophysics work is generating highly promising data along the Azouza Fault within the Company's Afouday licence. This area within Afouday was the focus of particular attention by Areva.

They drilled relatively shallow holes around but not into the fault, and then shot seismic lines which indicated potential untested uranium traps. Again, they never tested the Azouza fault itself and these potential traps, which is exactly what Myriad intends to do. The French ran out of time to emulate nearby Global Atomic.
