Canadian-listed ReeXploration Inc. has identified a significant new uranium exploration target at its Eureka Project in the Erongo mining district, confirming the project’s potential to host Rössing-style mineralisation along Namibia’s world-famous “Alaskite Alley.”
The discovery was made immediately southwest of the Eureka Dome, where the company already holds a defined rare earth element resource.
Airborne surveys and fieldwork identified a 6.5 by 3.5 kilometre zone of high uranium and low thorium radiometric response — a classic signature for leucogranite-hosted uranium systems.
According to the company, uranium has been detected in shallow overburden samples from previous exploration and verified by recent scintillometer readings of up to 1,500 counts per second.
Reconnaissance fieldwork confirmed uranium mineralisation within weathered leucogranites, with portable XRF readings reaching 853 ppm uranium.
“This uranium target, which is almost entirely covered by thin overburden, represents a promising exploration opportunity within one of the world’s most prolific uranium belts,” said senior geologist Tolene Kruger. “The geology, structural setting, and early results are consistent with the models that led to major leucogranite-hosted discoveries in Namibia,” she said.
Interim CEO Christopher Drysdale said the find underscores the company’s technical strength and expands the scope of its critical minerals portfolio. “As we continue to advance our REE resource growth plan within the Eureka Dome, this extensive uranium target adds significant exploration upside and optionality for our shareholders,” Drysdale said.
Situated within Namibia’s Central Zone of the Damara Belt, the new target lies along the same structural corridor that hosts Rössing, Husab, Etango, Omaholo and Norasa — deposits collectively containing more than one billion pounds of uranium oxide (U₃O₈). Key geological features at Eureka include proximity to the Welwitschia Lineament, reactive calc-silicate host rocks of the Arandis Formation, and leucogranite intrusions similar to those found around the Rössing Dome.
Historical work at the project area was limited to shallow pitting and percussion drilling targeting near-surface calcrete-hosted mineralisation, leaving the deeper bedrock potential largely untested. Preliminary records indicated about 600,000 pounds of U₃O₈ at 70 ppm in overburden gycretes and calcretes, though these figures predate modern reporting standards and have not been verified.
ReeXploration said further work, including deeper drilling below the weathering profile, will be needed to assess the potential for primary uranium mineralisation comparable to Namibia’s long-established deposits.
The Eureka Project lies within a well-serviced mining district of central Namibia, close to the Trans-Kalahari Highway and within reach of rail, power and port infrastructure at Walvis Bay.
