Haranga Resources Limited announced that it's maiden 3,200m diamond drilling program is underway at the Saraya Project in Senegal. Planned Resource Validation Program: Planned drilling aims to validate the geological interpretation and verify historical eU grades. Diamond drilling will also allow sampling for chemical assays to validate the K-factors used in historical resource estimations.

While mineralisation appears to be hosted solely in structures within the grey syenite, additional investigation is required to fully understand the geological controls of mineralisation and verify the eU values derived from the probe data. A preliminary model of mineralisation above 300 ppm eU, based on an N130-trending, steeply dipping indicator interpolant, was used to propose verification drilling. The program should lead to a more robust understanding of the geological architecture of the Saraya deposit and a validated eU database.

Based on the success of the drill validation programme (results expected between November 2022 to January 2023), the Company will proceed with building a robust geological domain model that could support a future mineral resource classification in accordance with the JORC Code (2012) - if successful this is expected to be completed by early April 2023. The validation drill plan consists of 23 drill holes for a total of 3,200 m. The holes have been categorised into two stages: Stage 1 consists of 15 drill holes for 2,000 m and Stage 2 consists of 8 drill holes for 1,200 m. Drill holes in Stage 1 have been designed to twin historical holes, test the 040 geological model and test areas with an oblique or perpendicular mineralisation orientation. The drilling programme will also form part of the Environmental Baseline Study which has been developed.

This is expected to be completed by December 2022. Drill holes in Stage 2 have been designed to further develop the geological model by targeting deeper mineralisation and additional untested areas with unconstrained orientations. This is expected to be completed by January 2023.

Interpretation of regional geophysical data has defined several anomalies within the tenement that provide a potential upside to the Exploration Target (5 to 20 MT at a grade range of 350 to 750 ppm eU3O8 (4-35 Mlb contained eU3O8)), which is defined over only ~0.2km2 (Total permit area 1,650km2) and to a vertical depth of only 200m. The Company is also currently proceeding with a regional permit-wide termite mound sampling programme. Once sampling is completed, the results will be overlain with the regional geophysical data to identify additional drill targets within the Company's large exploration licence.

The Company has allowed flexibility in the drilling contract to extend the drill program beyond the planned 3,200 m program, to continue to expand on the known mineralisation at the Saraya prospect and/or to test any new targets identified.
