Polo Resources Limited
("Polo" or "the Company")
Polo Resources (PRL), the AIM listed mining company with uranium and coal
interests in Africa, Australia, Europe and Asia, is pleased to announce that
West Australian Metals Limited (ASX: WME) in which Polo has an 11.1% interest
plans to embark on an extensive drilling campaign at its 80%-owned
Marenica Uranium Project in Namibia, in August 2009.
Following WME's recent A$9.9 million fund raising it is setting aside a A$5
million budget to be spent over the next six months. An initial 5,000-metre RC
drill programme is designed to infill areas of wide-spaced drilling completed in
2008 to reduce the spacing from 320m by 160m to 120m by 80m. Representatives
from SRK Consulting will be on on site to supervise QA/QC procedures. The new
campaign will also include a 100-hole exploration program to the west of the
known resource. Ground radiometrics and mapping have recently been completed in
this area, which will be tested for additional secondary uranium resources.
A further 5,000m is allocated to exploration for primary mineralisation within
and north of the Marenica dome following on from successful results achieved in
exploration diamond drilling. The company is in the process of obtaining drill
clearances, with drilling planned to start in August. Following completion of
this exploration programme WME intends to begin a scoping study later this year.
Neil Herbert, Managing Director of Polo Resources, said:
"We look forward to the results from this extensive drill programme. WME has
an 80% interest in Marenica and has already announced a JORC compliant Inferred
Resource of 111 million tonnes at 140ppm U3O8 for 34 million pounds of contained
U3O8 in near-surface palaeochannels, similar to that found at the Trekkopje
uranium mine currently being brought to production by Areva which is located
within 40kms and which is expected to become one of the world's 10 largest
uranium mines by 2011."
