Haranga Resources Limited (ASX:HAR; FRA:65E0; 'Haranga' or 'the Company') is pleased to provide an update on activities and progress made recently.
Cautionary Statement: The uranium results quoted in this announcement are acquired using the Company's in-house pXRF device. The device is an Olympus Vanta M Series pXRF analyzer and is measuring the U content. As explained below this is a semiquantitative process and does not equate to a laboratory assay, despite the accuracy of the latest technological advances. Termite Mound Samples cannot be used in any resource estimation undertaken
Managing Director Mr. Peter Batten commented 'We previously announced the completion of Stage 1 of our four stage exploration process. The results announced here are from the Stage 2 program and further illustrate the prospectivity of the Saraya permit, with 11 Auger drilling targets produced from the 8 infill TMS grids completed, with a further 7 infill grids still to be completed. Equally exciting is the fact that five of the new TMS Infill targets are located on contacts between granite and Birimian age volcano-sedimentary units. This geological setting adds potential for granite contact shear hosted mineralisation to the Na metasomatic model of the Saraya corridor of uranium anomalism, where the Company has already defined an indicated/inferred mineral resource of 16Mlbs @ 558 ppm eU3O8.
A total of 18,727 infill TMS samples have been collected from the 50,516 planned samples. All samples have been prepared and analysed at the Saraya field camp using the Company's handheld pXRF analyser. The majority of the anomalies are located within the +30km long NNE trending Uranium corridor, that also contains the Company's 16.1Mlb Uranium resource1 . - Anomalies at Mandankoli, Sanela, Saraya East and South, as well as Diobi East, are all located on the Saraya Eastern Lateritic plateau, where thick colluvial and laterite cover mask any uranium mineralisation in the underlying rock. The anomalies detected in these areas may therefore under-represent the uranium concentration present in the underlying rocks. - Three of the new grids Bembou, Baraberi and Baraberi North, are located in the western portion of the Saraya permit, over the sheared contact between the Saraya Granite and the Bembou Granite. This geological setting is prospective for shear hosted mineralization
Termite Mound Sampling Protocol and Use of pXRF Instrument Samples are: - collected on termite mounds at surface (1 and 2 kg); - sun-dried; - crushed to pass 5mm on a jaw crusher; - sieved to 180-micro and riffle split to collect a 200gm sub-sample of fine fraction; - collected in small PET plastic bags; - assayed using the Olympus Vanta-M XRF device in a dedicated room kept at 24-degreeC ambient temperature. The XRF uses a graphene detector operating at -30-degreeC with a silicon drift detector (SDD) for rapid and accurate elemental identification. For the survey samples Haranga use the machine's 'Geochem 3' Counting Mode that optimizes the detection for the 40 elements selected, enhancing the detection and counting of the particular elements that are of primary interest in Haranga's geochemical studies. The method allows for a 2-3 ppm lower limit of detection for Uranium
The assaying process include: 1. A programmed calibration test: a built-in process that calibrates the instrument using a Calibration Coin n-degree316, provided by the manufacturer. The assaying process cannot start without the preliminary calibration test. The operating team carry out two calibration tests per day. 2. A programmed Silicon Drift calibration: this calibration is programmed once a week or when the twice daily control of the blank is showing a drift. The procedure is a bult-in drift calibration to be made on a Silicon Blank provided by the manufacturer. 3. A twice daily quality control on CRMs: at the start of each assaying batch, a quality control is done on 3 CRMs provided by the manufacturer (Calibration Coin 316, Oreas70b and Silicon Blank). This quality control aims at verifying the SDD drift and torecalibrate if out of range. It also verifies the low Uranium detection with the Calibration Coin. 4. A twice daily control on in house reference materials: 3 pulp samples have been selected from our store of core samples to verify the Uranium detection repeatability for grades around 300, 1000 and 2000 ppm Uranium. 5. A random quality control: once in a while, a set of 40 samples from our library of core samples are used to check a whole range of Uranium grades from 100ppm to 2500ppm. The reference materials from our pulp library have been selected from pulps prepared and assayed by certified laboratory ALS (Vancouver Canada). 6. Duplicates: for each prospect, a set of samples from the survey is duplicated to survey the repeatability of the Uranium grades from the termite mound survey. Repeatability has so far been excellent. The pXRF assaying process is a semi-quantitative method used to highlight relative Uranium anomalism in termite mounds. Haranga relies on certified laboratory analysis to confirm and quantify any mineralisation intersected in RC and DD drilling or augering.
