Toro Energy Limited (ASX:TOE) Commences Uranium Drilling In Namibia


The drilling will evaluate the western strike extension of uranium mineralisation recently reported by Extract Resources at the Pizarro prospect (8m metres @ 638 ppm U3O8), along with other targets related to low magnetic responses contained within a stratigraphic and structural corridor. Holes will be drilled to a nominal 150m depth. All holes will be gamma probed and anomalous zones will be assayed.
The drilling program is expected to take about 6 to 8 weeks depending on results. Reconnaissance drilling on EPL 3670 will complete the drill program for 2011.
Deep Yellow completed their earn-in commitment of A$3.5m expenditure in early 2011 and hold 65% ownership of Nova, Toro Energy has retained 25% equity and has committed to participate in this drill program. Sixzone Investments have a 10% equity share in Nova.
