| Notes |
The Dukwe Prospecting Licence (132/2005) is located to the east of the eastern edge of the Sua Pan (or lake) and west of the township of Dukwe. Mineralisation in the Dukwe area consists of calcrete uranium mineralisation in palaeochannels and carnotite in ferruginous mudstones of the Ecca Formation.
The Area 7 anomaly, which is completely covered by the Bannerman licence, displayed the largest area of high total count levels of the 11 anomalies identified by Falconbridge in the area. The maximum U channel ratio (uranium channel peak to background ratio) and the U resultant (number of U channel counts less the number of Th channel counts) were lower than other anomalies at Dukwe. These lower counts could be due to the 9 metre thickness of Mea Arkose on the surface at this point masking the mineralisation. Anomalies within Mea Arkose in general were not followed up by Falconbridge.
