ReeXploration Inc. has intersected uranium mineralisation grading up to 577 counts per second (cps) over 4.2 metres, alongside 560 cps over 2.5 metres and 410 cps over 9.75 metres, in an 11-hole, 1,729-metre maiden drilling programme at its Eureka Project in Namibia.

The reconnaissance programme returned elevated radioactivity in five of the 11 holes, with readings of up to 640 cps within leucogranites and associated contact zones, confirming the presence of uranium-bearing systems beneath shallow cover.

All drill holes intersected favourable leucogranite rocks, the same host lithologies associated with major Namibian uranium deposits such as Rössing and Etango, validating the company’s Rössing-style exploration model.

Drilling also confirmed the presence of multiple stacked leucogranite units in every hole, with intersections ranging from a few metres up to 20 metres thick and between two and 26 individual sheets per hole, indicating a laterally extensive mineralised system.

Additional intercepts include 460 cps over 2.5 metres in hole SU26-08, further supporting the continuity of mineralisation across the target area.

Beyond the primary targets, the programme also intersected near-surface uranium mineralisation in seven of the 11 holes, including visible carnotite within calcrete and gypcrete horizons, pointing to a secondary Langer Heinrich-style uranium system.

Shallow results include 545 cps over 4.7 metres, 473 cps over 11.2 metres, 400 cps over 2.7 metres and 390 cps over 3.5 metres across multiple holes, highlighting additional discovery potential near surface.

Drill holes were completed to depths ranging from 140 metres to 200 metres, targeting steeply dipping stratigraphy of the Arandis Formation, with vertical depths reaching up to 160 metres below surface.

The programme was designed to test for primary uranium mineralisation hosted within leucogranites, particularly where these intrude carbonate-bearing and sulphidic rocks known to act as favourable chemical traps for uranium.

Results remain preliminary and are subject to confirmation through downhole radiometric surveys and laboratory geochemical analysis.

The company is now moving to integrate drilling data with existing geological datasets to define mineralisation vectors and refine targets ahead of follow-up drilling programmes.

The latest results mark the first confirmation of both primary Rössing-style and secondary calcrete-hosted uranium systems at Eureka, positioning the project as a multi-target exploration play within Namibia’s central uranium corridor.
