NEW URANIUM DISCOVERY
* Four radiometric anomalies identified covering over 68 square kilometres
in central Namibia, Africa.
* Significant radiometric response from ground truthing of the anomalies.
* Anomalies situated within close proximity to Rio Tinto's Rossing Uranium
Mine and Paladin Resources Ltd's developing Langer Heinrich Uranium Deposit.
The Board of Perth-based Reefton Mining NL is pleased to announce the Company
has discovered a new uranium target at its wholly owned Erongo Polymetallic
Project in central Namibia, Africa.
The Company has commenced radiometric surveying returning significant readings
up to 94,320 counts per minute thereby indicating the presence of uranium
bearing mineralisation.
A total of four radiometric anomalies have been identified to date totaling an
area of 68 square kilometres (km):
A. 'Vergenoeg', 12 km x 3 km
B. 'Sukses', 5 km x 1.2 km
C. 'Hakskeen', 8 km x 2 km
D. 'Hoopverloor', 7 km x 1.5 km
The series of radiometric anomalies occur within alluvial basins interpreted to
have developed on palaeochannels similar to the developing Langer Heinrich
uranium deposit owned by Paladin Resources Ltd located to the south of Hakskeen.
The Company is collecting soil samples from the radiometric anomalies and an RC
drilling programme has also commenced at Hakskeen.
The Rossing Mine - owned by Rio Tinto - is the world's fifth largest uranium
producer and is also located to the south of Hakskeen (see location map
attached). It has produced about 70,000 tonnes of uranium since it opened in
1976.
