The Madaouela Uranium Project is located near Arlit, in north central Niger, in one of the most significant areas of producing sandstone-hosted uranium deposits in the world.

The Madaouela Project is an advanced-stage exploration property, for which historical and current drilling has linked two previously known and separate deposits (Marianne and Marilyn), has defined a third separate resource area at Madaouela South (MAD South), and at which exploration is ongoing on multiple additional targets with encouraging results.

Ongoing Exploration
Niger (Western Africa), west of the Air Massif and Southeast of the town of Artif. This well known uranium mining town was createdwhen the first uranium deposits were discovered by the french Commissariat a l’Energie Atomique (CEA) in the 1960s. Distance from the capital city of Niamey is approximatly 800 kilometers by air.

 

Madaouela is actively being explored by GoviEx, has numerous defined exploration targets, and has significant exploration potential. GoviEx has been successful in defining a potentially open-pitable deposit named Miriam, which is located southeast of the Marianne-Marilyn and MAD South deposits.

The Miriam mineralization occurs at multiple horizons within the Gouzeman sandstone and where a redox front developed, which is similar to the mineralization observed at the Akouta and Akola deposits at Areva’s nearby Cominak uranium mine. While the mean grade is 0.05% U3O8, the mineralized zone has a significant vertical thickness more than 20 metres in the central zone. The wide ore intercepts, combined with the shallow, 90-120-metre depth to the base of the Gouzeman sandstone, make Miriam an attractive open-pit target.
