Projects

Jailor Bore

The Jailor Bore Project lies 200 kilometres east of Carnarvon in Western Austraila.  The project area contains five exploration tenements controlled by Newera.   These tenements surround a small calcrete resource of some 400t U3O8 which is excised from the Newera leases.   Newera has collated and generated various geophysical and geological data covering the project area including radiometrics and VTEM.

At the Giant Prospect, previous geological mapping and preliminary drilling by Newera has confirmed that a one million pound uranium exploration target is lying close to the surface within a calcareous sandstone with intercepts of up to 2 metres @ 229ppm U₃ O₈ (see announcement 28th April 2009).  There is significant scope to expand this target as it is not closed to the north, south and west.  Further follow-up drilling is planned over these anomalies and the visible carnotite areas on the uranium-impregnated limestone-granite basement contact are also high priority targets.

 Also within the Jailor Bore Project, some 20 kilometres to the north of Giant, near Relief Well, two scout drill holes, located within a large VTEM anomaly, intersected low grade uranium results.   

Pells Range

Pells Range was discovered by Afmeco in the 1970’s uranium boom, the result of some very good work searching for redox front mineralisation in fluvial sandstones of the Carnarvon Basin in Western Australia. Some significant hits of up to 2kg/t U3O8 were intersected in carbonaceous channel sands, and Newera has conducted an aerial EM survey to define these carbonaceous units with spectacular
success.  A follow-up targeted drilling program identified a two-metre zone of elevated uranium mineralisation, from 50 metres down hole, located in several holes at the base of a sequence of carbonaceous shales.  Planning has commenced to trace the extent of the uranium mineralisation.

White Lady

The White Lady Project (Licence EL25169) lies within the Harts Range province of the eastern Arunta block in the Northern Territory of Australia.  It  is located approximately 100 kilometres north east of Alice Springs.  White Lady is named for the old 1930’s mica mine on the lease, in pegmatites similar to those at Quartz Hill nearby.  White Lady is also over a major structural feature which shows extensive alteration-induced loss of magnetism in the host gneisses, and many points in the area show outcropping copper-carbonate mineralisation.  Newera believes there is a strong possibility of shear-hosted and possibly uraniferous copper mineralisation, as well as gold and other base metals, within the project.

Newera completed a VTEM aerial geophysical survey over the White Lady project which identified six conductors as prospective targets.
