 Ultra Uranium receives 43-101 Technical Report on Slovak uranium deposits
Estimates for the Kalnica and Selec zones were based on blocks delineated by deep and shallow drill holes that were drilled from surface, by the exploration adits and cross-cuts and by short, narrow diameter, horizontal underground drill holes to a maximum of 100 metres drilled from within the adits.
These historic uranium estimates at Kalnica and Selec were limited to areas within and adjacent to the adits and significant areas with uranium mineralization were not included in the calculations because UP decided to abandon the area in 1984 before such estimates could be made.
Furthermore, at Kalnica, Selec and Krajna Dolina zones, many drill holes with significant mineralization situated outside the calculated blocks were not used in the historic resource calculations even though exploration works and geological interpretations indicated structural and grade continuity between these holes and the mineralization inside the calculated blocks.
