SAMPHIRE PROJECT & EXPLORATION

Work continued on the Blackbush deposit with ongoing investigative metallurgical work being a focus along with examination of the relationship between basement-hosted and sediment-hosted uranium mineralisation.

Other work involved interpretation of historical exploration results relevant to three exploration licence applications, ELA's 2015 / 00113, 00114 and 00126.

CORPORATE

UraniumSA directors have for some time considered a demerger of the Samphire Project Uranium Assets. In a release to ASX (6th April 2016) the directors proposed a significant restructure of the company through the demerger of a restructured Samphire Uranium Pty Ltd (Samphire or SUPL), the owner of the Samphire Project Uranium Assets (refer Fig 1 and proposed organisation structure page 5), to a separate standalone unlisted public company Samphire Uranium Limited ('SUL'). Subject to shareholder approval, shareholders in UraniumSA will receive a pro-rata in-specie distribution of shares in SUL.

More detail of the proposal including an indicative timetable, is provided in the ASX release of 6th April 2016.

UraniumSA believes that a demerger transaction is now the best means of maintaining the value of the Samphire Project Uranium Assets at a reduced cost inside SUL as an unlisted public company. This will leave the listed entity UraniumSA to continue its other exploration initiatives and pursue other value adding activities.

The proposed restructure will include the completion of two capital raisings (refer Finance section below) to fund working capital and ensure that UraniumSA and SUL have sufficient funds, management structures and operational flexibility to support their ongoing activities.

New Projects - UraniumSA has for many quarters indicated that it was seeking and evaluating other opportunities in the energy and wider resources sector. This process continues and has been extended to businesses outside the resources sector.

FINANCE

UraniumSA has today released full details of a Share Purchase Plan (SPP) focussed on raising approximately $400,000. Each Shareholder will be entitled to subscribe for additional shares in the company to a maximum value of

$15,000. SPP shares will participate in the proposed demerger.

Taylor Collison are Broker to the SPP and have been mandated to raise $1.0 million by way of a placement post the proposed demerger. Shareholder approval will be sought for the placement.

During the period the terms of the secured convertible debit facility were re- negotiated and extended with a new expiry of the 3rd May 2018. (ASX 1st March 2016) A $100,000 drawn down occurred in March. (ASX 11th March 2016).

Exploration expenditure for the period was $32,000. Cash position at the end of the period is $136,000. The convertible debt facility is fully drawn at $300,000.

Estimated expenditure for the June 2016 quarter is $150,000.

ACTIVITIES

Refer to Figure 1: - Tenement Location Map.


SAMPHIRE EXPLORATION ASSETS - assets of SUL post merger approval

Exploration interests which are owned by SUPL (a wholly owned subsidiary of UraniumSA) comprise:

  • MULLAQUANA - EL 4979) 100%. Covers the Blackbush and Plumbush sediment-hosted uranium deposits and other named and un-named uranium and base metal prospects.


  • MURNINNIE - EL 5440 100%. Covers a prospective portion of the western margin of the Pirie Basin.


  • MIDGEE - EL 5426 in joint venture with Stellar Resources Limited (ASX: SRZ), 73% interest. Covers the southern extensions of the Plumbush deposit which remains open and undrilled to the south and west.


  • WILD HORSE PLAIN - EL 4693 in joint venture with Archer Exploration Limited (ASX: AXE) 100% of uranium only. The title covers the Ben Buy and Boothby unconformity style uranium prospects.


    Activities

    No field work was carried out during the period.

    Work has continued on the Blackbush deposit (EL 4979) with ongoing investigative metallurgical work, conceptualisation of alternative mining methods, and examination of the relationship between basement-hosted and sediment-hosted uranium mineralisation.

    A PhD research project focused on uranium mineralisation associated with the Samphire granite commenced at Adelaide University at the start of the academic year. The student was selected following an international competitive process and has commenced familiarising himself with the geology and data available for the Samphire Project. We look forward to a productive ongoing collaboration with Adelaide University and the student.

    SUPL was successful in April 2015 in securing a South Australian State Government PACE Discovery drilling grant of $65,000 (ASX 14 April 2015). Unfortunately it has not been possible to advance the drill program with the stipulated timeframe.

    Work was re-focussed on the Blue Well Dam base metal prospect within EL 4979 at the end of the quarter. Potential exists for assistance from the South Australian State Government (DSD Minerals - PACE Copper Initiative) to part fund drilling and some other related costs. SUPL plans to lodge an application before the end of April 2016.

    Stellar Resources lodged a standard renewal with the regulator for EL 5426 on 22 February 2016.

    OTHER EXPLORATION ASSETS - continuing UraniumSA assets post merger approval

  • MUCKANIPPIE - EL 4694 is owned 100% by Fatjack Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of UraniumSA. The tenure covers the Wigetty prospect which is an ilmenite-magnetite-apatite deposit, the historic Malbooma gold working and other un-named gold prospects, and various base metal and rare earth element prospects. UraniumSA has also progressed exploration on prospects referred to as Satisfaction Bore and White Nose Bore.


    Activities

    No fieldwork was carried out during the period. Identification of potential JV partners continued.


  • WHYMLET - ELA 2015/00126 was made by Boston Minerals Pty Ltd (Boston), a wholly owned subsidiary of UraniumSA Limited. The area has been offered and negotiations with the regulator to accept a reduced area are progressing. The area covers basement complex and cover sequence targets which are prospective for IOCGU, black-shale hosted and unconformity styles of mineralisation.


    Activities


    Work was carried out during the period continuing interpretation of past exploration results with a view to outlining an initial exploration program.


  • SHEOAK HILL and LOCK - ELA's 2015/00113 and 2015/00114 were made by Boston.

Negotiations with the regulator to reduce the application areas and amalgamate the applications continue. The area covers the Driver River airborne radiometric anomaly and the titles are prospective for unconformity style uranium mineralisation.


Activities


No field work was completed during the period. Interpretation of past exploration results with a view to outlining an initial exploration program continued.
