Energy Metals Limited announced results from Phase-2 of its RC drilling program recently completed at the Bigwest target (EME 100%), located on the northern margin of the Ngalia Basin approximately 8km west of the Bigrlyi Joint Venture tenements in the Northern Territory. Phase-1 of the RC drilling program, resulted in the discovery of significant uranium mineralisation along the Unit B - Unit C sandstone contact that extends to the west from the Bigrlyi deposit. A further 53 RC holes (total 9,085m) have now been completed at Bigwest in the Phase-2 program.

In addition, 22 reconnaissance holes (total 2,937m) have been completed at the Autobahn target, located approximately 15km west of Bigrlyi. The program at Bigwest was aimed at establishing the continuity, width, and tenor of uranium mineralisation along the Unit B - Unit C contact. Drilling was undertaken at a spacing of approximately 50m around previous significant intercepts; additional holes were designed to test the Unit C - Unit D contact at depth below the weathering profile.
