2024 Infill Drilling on Satellite Uranium Growth Deposits Complete

2024 Infill Drilling on Satellite Uranium Growth Deposits Complete

Boss Energy Limited (ASX: BOE; OTCQX: BQSSF) is pleased to announce the conclusion of a successful infill drilling program at the Gould’s Dam and Jason’s satellite deposits within its Honeymoon Uranium project in South Australia.

Highlights

• Infill drilling campaign completed at the Gould’s Dam and Jason’s satellite deposits within Honeymoon
• The results will underpin an updated geological/mineralisation model and resource upgrade
• Gould’s Dam is located ~80km northwest of the Honeymoon Mine (Figure 1) and currently contains a JORC-compliant resource of 25Mlbs of indicated and inferred U₃0₈; The Jason’s deposit is located ~13km north of the Honeymoon mine (Figure 1) and contains a JORC Resource of 6.2Mt at 790ppm U₃0₈ for 10.7Mlbs contained U₃0₈ (Inferred).
• A total of 47 mud rotary holes for 6,455m were completed at Beulah (within the Gould’s Dam Inferred Resource envelope) and an additional 25 holes for 3,074m within the Inferred resource envelope at Jason’s. Uranium mineralisation highlights from these two programs include (PFN results, ppm pU₃O₈):

• “These satellite deposits have the potential to drive growth as well as enabling us to leverage existing infrastructure and further capitalise on the opportunity presented by growing global demand for uranium from tier-one locations”. – Boss MD Duncan Craib

The program has returned strong drilling results as well as high-quality modern downhole geophysical data which will be used to build an updated geological and mineralisation model which will feed into a resource update

The two deposits have combined resources of 36.7Mlbs of contained U₃0₈. Honeymoon is producing under its current Mining Licence covering 36Mlbs and therefore the Company will now seek government endorsement for the mining of two satellite deposits, effectively doubling the allowance under the License.

This will pave the way for Boss to assess potential increases in the annual production rate and mine life at Honeymoon.

AMC Consultants have been engaged to produce a block model and mineral resource update for these key satellite deposits, which will enable the company to determine those areas which are most economically viable.

Boss Managing Director Duncan Craib said: “With the production ramp-up at Honeymoon progressing so well, we are eager to press ahead with our plans to grow the annual output, cashflow and minelife.

“These satellite deposits have the potential to drive growth as well as enabling us to leverage existing infrastructure and further capitalise on the opportunity presented by growing global demand for uranium from tier-one locations”.
