Connected Minerals (ASX:CML) has achieved its latest milestone of advancing an exploration campaign in Namibia, after completing a phase two drilling program at the group’s Etango North-East Uranium Project.
Drilling comprised 23 holes for 3,134m at the Ondapanda prospect and followed up phase one results, where 14 of the 15 holes drilled delivered economic uranium grades.
The results from phase two drilling are expected in three weeks.
CEO Warrick Clent says the phase two program increased in size from the initial plans, and the company is “optimistic” about the results.
“Initial signs are that drilling has continued to intersect Alaskites, however, we are yet to complete downhole probe work on all holes,” Clent says.
To date, drilling has demonstrated multiple, stacked and mineralised Alaskites which reinforce the view that the geology at Etango North-East follows the model of the Bannerman Energy’s (ASX:BMN) nearby Etango Uranium Project.
Connected Minerals is an Australian explorer focused on the discovery and development of projects in Namibia and Western Australia.
