Rockgate Capital Corp. (TSX:RGT) has announced assay results from five diamond drill holes completed on the 084 Trend, North Zone Area at Rockgate's 100% owned Falea Project.
084 Trend
- Mineralization is hosted in competent, flat-lying sandstones near the unconformity.
- The continuing confirmation of the tabular and uniform nature of the orebody indicates that a room and pillar mining operation should be feasible.
- 25 x 25 metre grid drilling confirms consistent high grade uranium mineralization.
- Higher grade mineralization along north-west trend.
General Discussion
- Additional high-grade uranium-silver mineralization may be associated with similar north-west trends already identified in the North Zone.
- The Falea Sedimentary Basin appears to be similar in age and geological setting to the Athabasca Basin in Canada. The Falea Basin hosts high-grade uranium mineralization similar to that of the Athabasca Basin.
- To date, only 5-6 percent of area hosting down-hole radiometric anomalies has been drill tested.
