Boss has a market capitalisation of over $2 billion.<\/p>\n<p>MEU\u2019s goal is to substantially grow the existing uranium resource at Saffron and then grow the Junction Dam resource further by bringing in the Bridget and Yolanda uranium deposits which are not yet included in the project\u2019s resource.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Drill program designed to prove up uranium potential of Bridget area<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>MEU brought in uranium expert Mark Couzens to design the drill program over Bridget. Mark has identified that the Bridget area contains:<\/p>\n<p>Two distinct uranium-bearing formations, from two distinct geological ages, separated by more than 10 million years, namely:<\/p>\n<p>Uranium-bearing <em>Eyre Formation palaeochannels<\/em> (like the Saffron resource area), and:<br \/>\nUranium-bearing <em>Namba Formation palaeochannels<\/em> have been identified with uranium mineralisation located at the base of the channel similar to Heathgate Resources\u2019 Beverley Uranium Mine.<\/p>\n<p>One of the Namba channels has what appears to be a huge 20m high stacked uranium roll-front, similar to what is seen at the Four Mile uranium deposits.<\/p>\n<p>Even with the small number of historical holes at Bridget, the drill bit has already intersected peak grades of up to 3,710 ppm eU3O8 at Bridget.<\/p>\n<p>The program features 114 drill holes over the Bridget area, which will dramatically increase the number of holes at Bridget from 43 to 157.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><strong>\u2018Enormously exciting developments\u2019 <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>\u201cBridget is more exciting than we could possibly have imagined,\u201d MEU chairman Dr Colin Rose says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe revelation that there is not one, but two uranium systems of different ages, both fortuitously coincident at Bridget, AND the existence of what appears as a huge 20m high stacked uranium roll front AND the existence of Beverley-style mineralisation are all enormously exciting developments which this program is designed to prove up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe just have 2 more zones (Yolanda and Jasons) to complete all drill planning at Junction Dam, as we await the necessary clearances.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p><span class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><span class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>This article was developed in collaboration with Marmota Ltd, a Stockhead advertiser at the time of publishing. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>This article does not constitute financial product advice.
