Tests conducted on samples from the Khan uranium project in Namibia highlight its potential as a high-quality, cost-efficient uranium asset.
Recent bottle roll leach tests conducted at the Khan uranium project in Namibia 's Erongo province have yielded promising results. The tests, evaluated by Mr. Bernard Sililo, a uranium metallurgy expert, demonstrated excellent uranium recovery rates ranging from 71.1% to 86.6%. Notably, the acid consumption was low, reaching a maximum of 14.2 kg/t, significantly lower than the Husab Mine's 34 kg/t.
These results, while preliminary, reinforce the project's potential as a high-quality, cost-efficient uranium asset. The presence of low levels of niobium (Nb) and tantalum (Ta) in the samples suggests limited betafite mineralization, simplifying the processing process. The uranium mineralization at the Khan Project, similar to other significant deposits in the region, is primarily hosted in D-type leucogranites with limited mineralization at the contact zones with the country rocks. These findings, derived from three reverse circulation samples collected during the August 2024 drilling campaign, contribute to the growing confidence in the Khan Uranium Project's viability
