Cue Resources Ltd. Completes Pump Test at San Antonio, Yuty Uranium Project
March 30 2011 - 10:00AM
Marketwired
Cue Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: CUE) (the "Company") has completed
an aquifer (pump) test in the centre of the San Antonio deposit
located on the Company's 100% owned Yuty uranium project in
south-eastern Paraguay. It was carried out by Hydro-Engineering of
Casper, Wyoming, and consisted of testing five wells to
dimensionalize aquifer properties as well as expected recovery and
injection rates. Results of the test program will be published when
received and reviewed by Cue.
Previous laboratory testing of cores (see press release May 17,
2009) has indicated permeabilities to be within the range of
existing commercial ISR operations.
"The pump test is a critical component to determining and
understanding the hydro-geological characteristics of the project
for the In-Situ Recovery Mining process," stated Robert Tyson,
president and chief executive officer. "It is viewed by
institutional investors, analysts and industry peers as a major
step in advancing the Yuty project towards production."
Cue is currently drilling on the San Miguel zone located on the
company's 100-per-cent-owned Yuty uranium project in southeastern
Paraguay. Mineralization occurs within a sandstone unit (San Miguel
formation) up to 16 m thick, and is associated with a redox front
similar to the resource delineated at San Antonio.
San Antonio Deposit
The San Antonio Deposit consists of a current NI 43-101
compliant resource, Indicated, 9.0M tonnes @ 0.042% eU3O8
containing 8.3M lbs eU3O8 and an Inferred Resource of 1.1M tonnes @
0.050% eU3O8 containing 1.2M lbs eU3O8. Column leach tests have
demonstrated recovery of up to 86% of the contained uranium from
cores taken from San Antonio.
