ReeXploration confirms large-scale uranium target at Eureka ahead of 2026 drilling

ReeXploration Inc. says new fieldwork has strengthened evidence for a potentially large, Rössing-style uranium system at its Eureka Project in Namibia, with early indicators pointing to a cohesive uranium-bearing structure concealed beneath shallow cover.

The company plans to begin a maiden drilling campaign in early 2026 to test the scale and depth of the target.

The latest programme combined ground radiometrics, soil geochemistry and geological mapping across four grids southwest of the Eureka Dome.

According to the company, the strong alignment between airborne anomalies, ground spectrometer readings and uranium-bearing soils provides the kind of multi-layered confirmation typically sought before drilling.

Ground surveys identified areas of intense radiometric response, including zones exceeding 1,500 counts per second (cps) and, in some places, reaching 2,255 cps. These high readings correlate with gypcrete and calcrete horizons overlying leucogranites—rock types closely associated with Rössing-style deposits.

Secondary uranium minerals, such as carnotite, were also found in both the surface cover and in situ bedrock.

Soil sampling reinforced the radiometric picture.

More than 1,040 soil samples were collected at 100-metre intervals, with portable XRF analysis recording uranium values up to 114 ppm, particularly along drainage channels where uranium-rich calcretes are exposed.

Grab samples from surface mapping returned up to 853 ppm U, further supporting the interpretation of a uranium-bearing system beneath the weathered layer.

The geological setting at Eureka shows strong similarities to Namibia’s most important uranium deposits—including Rössing, Husab, Etango, Omaholo and Norasa—when compared at equal scale.

These similarities include the presence of leucogranites, reactive calc-silicate units, and structurally favourable corridors, all of which are known to host large, long-lived mineral systems in the region.

Six initial drill targets have now been defined, based on coincident airborne uranium anomalies, high gamma readings above 500 cps, uranium values greater than 10 ppm in soils, and interpreted leucogranite–calc-silicate contacts.

These zones also contain visible secondary uranium mineralisation, increasing confidence in the underlying model.

Interim CEO Christopher Drysdale said the results “materially advanced our understanding of the uranium target at Eureka,” adding that the convergence of datasets provides “exactly the type of multi-layered confirmation you want to see before drilling.”

He emphasised Namibia’s status as one of the world’s most essential uranium jurisdictions and noted Eureka’s position within the same structural corridor as the country’s major mines.

ReeXploration expects to mobilise early next year for a 2,000-metre diamond-drilling programme comprising roughly 10 holes averaging 200 metres.

The program will test for primary uranium mineralisation within the leucogranites—consistent with a Rössing-style deposit model—beneath the weathered profile.

Drilling will be carried out as heel-to-toe fences across the highest-priority targets, subject to final contractor appointments and financing.

The company says laboratory assays will follow field pXRF readings and gamma-spectrometer data, which provide rapid reconnaissance indicators but are not a substitute for accredited uranium assays.

If drilling confirms the scale suggested by the field data, Eureka could emerge as one of Namibia’s next significant uranium exploration stories—adding to momentum in a sector already shaped by primary operations and globally recognised deposits.
