ReeXploration Inc. has started a fully funded uranium drilling programme of up to 2,000 metres at its Eureka Project in central Namibia, targeting a large-scale 6.5 km by 3.5 km Rössing-style uranium system along the country’s prolific Alaskite Alley.
The company said the campaign marks its first drill testing of the Eureka Uranium Target, which was defined through integrated geophysical, geochemical and geological work and lies along the trend of Namibia’s giant leucogranite-hosted uranium deposits.
The initial programme will comprise 12 to 15 core drill holes, designed to test for primary uranium mineralisation below the weathering profile.
Eureka is located within Namibia’s Alaskite Alley, a globally significant uranium corridor that hosts major deposits, including Rössing, Husab, and the Etango project.
ReeXploration said the geological setting at Eureka is consistent with these deposits, which are hosted in leucogranites within Namibia’s Central Zone.
Priority drill targets were selected based on coincident airborne and ground uranium radiometric anomalies, uranium-in-soil geochemistry and favourable structural and lithological interpretations.
Ground spectrometer surveys recorded total gamma responses exceeding 500 counts per second, while portable XRF analysis identified uranium-in-soil anomalies above 10 parts per million. These anomalies are associated with interpreted leucogranites in contact with reactive calc-silicate host rocks.
The company said visible secondary uranium mineralisation has also been identified within leucogranites and associated gypcrete and calcrete units across the target area, providing additional encouragement ahead of drilling.
In addition to uranium, the Eureka Project hosts confirmed rare-earth element mineralisation, providing the project with dual-commodity exposure and longer-term strategic optionality.
The initial drilling phase is expected to generate first-pass information on the presence, style and continuity of uranium mineralisation at depth and to validate the geological model developed from recent radiometric surveys, soil sampling and field mapping.
Results will be used to refine targets and guide follow-up exploration across the broader Eureka Project area.
Namibia is one of the world’s most established uranium jurisdictions, with a long production history, supportive regulatory environment and strong infrastructure. ReeXploration said operating in Namibia strengthens its ability to advance the Eureka Project and assess its potential to host a significant new uranium discovery along one of the country’s most productive mineral trends.
