ReeXploration Discovers Promising Uranium Target at Eureka Project in Namibia
ReeXploration Identifies High-Grade Uranium Prospect Along Namibia’s “Alaskite Alley”
Canadian-listed ReeXploration Inc. has identified a significant new uranium exploration target at its Eureka Project in the Erongo mining district, confirming the area’s potential to host Rössing-style uranium mineralisation along Namibia’s renowned “Alaskite Alley.”
The discovery lies immediately southwest of the Eureka Dome, where the company already holds a defined rare earth element (REE) resource.
Airborne surveys and fieldwork revealed a 6.5 by 3.5-kilometre zone of high uranium and low thorium radiometric response, a classic indicator of leucogranite-hosted uranium systems.
Uranium has also been detected in shallow overburden samples, with recent scintillometer readings reaching up to 1,500 counts per second, confirming its presence.
Reconnaissance fieldwork further validated uranium mineralisation in weathered leucogranites, with portable XRF readings of up to 853 ppm uranium.
“This uranium target, largely covered by thin overburden, represents a high-potential exploration opportunity within one of the world’s most prolific uranium belts,” said senior geologist Tolene Kruger. “The geology, structural setting, and early results are consistent with models that led to major leucogranite-hosted discoveries in Namibia.”
Interim CEO Christopher Drysdale highlighted that the find strengthens the company’s technical expertise and expands its critical minerals portfolio. “As we advance our REE resource growth plan within the Eureka Dome, this uranium target adds significant exploration upside and optionality for our shareholders,” Drysdale said.
Located within Namibia’s Central Zone of the Damara Belt, the target lies along the structural corridor hosting Rössing, Husab, Etango, Omaholo, and Norasa, collectively containing over one billion pounds of uranium oxide (U₃O₈).
Key geological features include proximity to the Welwitschia Lineament, reactive calc-silicate host rocks of the Arandis Formation, and leucogranite intrusions similar to those surrounding the Rössing Dome.
Historical exploration in the area was limited to shallow pitting and percussion drilling targeting near-surface calcrete-hosted uranium, leaving the deeper bedrock potential largely untested.
Preliminary records suggested around 600,000 pounds of U₃O₈ at 70 ppm in overburden gycretes and calcretes, though these figures predate modern reporting standards and remain unverified.
ReeXploration plans further exploration, including deeper drilling below the weathering profile, to assess the potential for primary uranium mineralisation comparable to Namibia’s established deposits.
The Eureka Project benefits from excellent logistics, situated in a well-serviced mining district of central Namibia, near the Trans-Kalahari Highway and within reach of rail, power, and port infrastructure at Walvis Bay.
