Macusani Yellowcake has released further drilling results from the Chilcuno Chico region at the Kihitian Property in Peru. These drilling results sustain the expansion of the deeper Manto B zone.
The company has intersected 1,020 ppm U3O8 over 37 m including 11,996 ppm U3O8 over 3.0 m at the high-grade zone. These assay results belong to the 14 and 17 platforms at the Kihitian’s Chilcuno Chico region.
The location of the platform 17 is 120 m to the adits’ North-West part, which was unearthed during the 1980’s by IPEN, whereas platform 14 was sited 400 m to the adits’ South-West part. The company has drilled the borehole CH17-SW adjacent to the access road that leads to the drilling region, at a lower altitude zone where the Manto A zone was entirely eroded and Manto B lies nearer to the surface. The location of the borehole CH14-V is over the current operations in the Chilcuno Chico mountain, which is the region where both A and B mineralized levels were conserved theoretically. These two platforms are situated 350 m away in a SW-NE direction.
The company has cut 0.0209% U3O8 over 2 m in the vertical hole CH14-V at the platform 14 in the level A mineralization, 0.0402% U3O8 over 24 m and 0.111% U3O8 over 8 m in the borehole CH17-SW at level B mineralization.
Macusani has drilled the vertical bore hole CH14-V and an inclined bore hole CH17-SW at 55° towards Southwest.
The CEO of the company has commented that the complete drilling activities have started again at the Kihitian uranium property and show the high-grade uranium intercepts continuously in the Chilcuno region. Macusani plans to carry on its drilling program at the Macusani during the winter season.
