The Pine Creek Orogen is one of the world’s premier uranium provinces hosting a number of world class deposits including Ranger, Australia’s largest uranium mine. Thundelarra controls approximately 3,500 square kilometres of tenure in the centre of the Pine Creek Orogen where, to date, uranium exploration has been limited due to past gold mining activity.
Thundelarra is targeting structurally controlled, unconformity related uranium deposits that have potential for high grade. Significant success has been achieved with the discovery of several new uranium occurrences. The most advanced prospect is Thunderball where RC and diamond drilling intersected high grade primary uranium within a well defined shear zone.
Thunderball is situated on the western limb of a north plunging anticline in close proximity to the Hayes Creek Faults Zone. Two other prospects, Bella Rose and Corkscrew, occur in similar geological settings and have returned highly anomalous uranium values at surface, neither has been tested at depth.
Drilling at Thunderball is ongoing with future programs planned for Corkscrew and Bella Rose.
The project area is only 150 kilometres from Darwin and is exceptionally well serviced by infrastructure including road, rail, gas and a port facility that handles most of Australia’s current uranium exports.
