Elevate Uranium continues progressing across its Namibian projects, employing five drill rigs to upgrade and expand resources. 

According to the company’s quarterly activities report for June 2024, substantial developments have been made, especially at the Koppies, Hirabeb, and Capri projects.

At the Koppies Project, three drill rigs focus on converting the resource from the JORC Inferred to the JORC Indicated category. 

“The quarter saw 864 holes drilled, totalling 23,956 metres. Detailed metallurgical test work on six tonnes of bulk ore samples is underway, with results to inform the design of a pilot plant. Representative ore samples for the U-pgradeTM beneficiation process were collected from eight test pits,” shows the report.

Elevate is set to undertake a detailed metallurgical test work program on six tonnes of Koppies bulk ore samples in transit to a metallurgical test work facility in Perth.

“The results of that bench scale program will be used to design the pilot plant. Metallurgical test work samples have been collected from Koppies for subsequent testing using the Company’s U-pgradeTM beneficiation process,” the report reads.

Meanwhile, the Hirabeb Uranium Project, located 25 kilometres from the Koppies resource, completed its two-phase programme.

“The first phase targeted “Koppies 3″ style mineralisation at the tenement’s extremities. The second phase focused on confirming the main mineralised envelope to delineate a maiden resource. In total, 262 holes were drilled for 6,419 metres this quarter,” said Elevate.

The company said that the program undertaken during this quarter has occurred in two phases. The first phase targeted Koppies 3 style (basement hosted) mineralisation around the extremities of the tenement.

“The program’s second phase is on the known mineralised area where the current focus is on confirming the extent of the main mineralised envelope, to delineate and report a maiden resource later this year,” added the report.

The Capri Uranium Project, 25 kilometres from the Marenica Uranium Project, targeted “Koppies 3” style mineralisation.

Elevate said an infill drill programme aims to better define the mineralisation outline. This quarter, 203 holes were drilled for a total of 5,731 metres.

“The second phase of the programme then moved to a known mineralised area, approximately 16 kilometres in length, where the distance between drill lines varied between 800 and 2,500 metres apart. The infill drill programme will close up the spacing between drill lines to better define the outline of the mineralisation.”
