Madison Metals Outlines Priority Uranium Drill Targets at Khan Project in Namibia, Africa
- Positive: Madison Metals Inc. outlines priority drill targets at the Khan Project in Namibia's Erongo uranium province, indicating a proactive approach to exploration and potential resource development.
- Positive: The mapping program successfully identified and delineated mineralized surface lithologies, highlighting the surface continuity of mineralized D-type leucogranites, which are favorable for uranium mining.
- Positive: Surface sample assays at Anomaly 5 showed promising results, with uranium grades above 0.1% U3O8, confirming the presence of mineralized alaskites in the area.
- Positive: The Qualified Person, Mary Barton, has reviewed and approved the technical information in the news release, ensuring compliance with NI 43-101 standards.
- Positive: The increased surface expression of radiometric D-type leucogranites, particularly around Trenches 4 and 5, indicates the potential for significant mineralization in the area.
- None.
TORONTO, April 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Madison Metals Inc. (“Madison” or the “Company”) (CSE: GREN) (OTCQB: MMTLF) (FSE: 4EF0) is pleased to provide an update regarding ongoing geologic mapping being done in advance of a maiden 2024 drill program at the Company’s Khan Project at Madison West in Namibia’s highly prospective Erongo uranium province.
The mapping program consisted of infill geological mapping along with ground scintillometer and spectrometer surveys over the previously announced Anomaly 5 drill targets. Madison’s original surveying was completed at 40 metre (m) line spacing with 10 m station spacing. The Company has added new drill targets at Anomaly 5 by surveying at 20 m line spacing. The results of the recent mapping and surveying program are an increased surface expression of radiometric D-type leucogranites (favourable rock type mined at Rossing). In particular, the surface expression of mineralized leucogranites around Trenches 4 and 5 and north of Trench 3 has increased to thicknesses of up to 40 m.

The mapping campaign accomplished several key goals, including:
- Outlining priority drill targets
- A base map of surface features to guide drill targeting
- Identifying and delineating mineralized surface lithologies
- Highlighting the surface continuity of mineralized D-type leucogranites
