Sese Uranium Project, Botswana
The Sese Uranium Project in north-east Botswana comprises a single Prospecting Licence (PL96/2005) of 581 sq km granted to African Energy, with a further 320 sq km under application. The project is situated close to the sealed highway between Francistown and Gaborone and is easy to access (Figure 12). The Sese tenement was pegged over an area of Karoo sediments where very high background uranium levels are observed in regional radiometric data. Examination of the radiometric data has identified a number of preliminary individual targets.
A reconnaissance visit to the tenement was undertaken by Company geologists in June 2006 to assess outcrop levels in the largest target. A sample of iron-rich younger gravels overlying the Karoo sediments returned an assay of 495ppm U3O8. This encouraging result indicates that uranium is present in the area and may have been locally remobilised from the Karoo sediments into the overlying gravels.
A program of detailed ground traverses using a hand-held spectrometer has been planned for the Sese project. This will enable the Company to define the extent of uranium anomalies and identify the most favourable areas for follow up exploration, including drilling if warranted.
