The Salamanca project is made up of three distinct deposits which will be mined independently of each other, namely:-Retortillo (including the Santidad satellite deposit);-Zona 7; and-Alameda.Zona 7The mineralised zone is a 2-3km scale fold structure with the dominant strike direction being NNE-SSW. Despite the general dip of the host geological units and structures ranging from 50-80°, the mineralised zone is interpreted to be sub-horizontal to shallowly dipping due to the nature of the mineralisation processes.The uranium mineralisation is hosted within Lower Cambrian metasediments adjacent to granite. The mineralisation typically occurs as a sub-horizontal to shallowly dipping layer occurring between surface and 100m depth, although mineralisation has been recorded to a maximum depth of 217m. The style of the uranium mineralisation includes veins, stockwork and disseminated mineralisation in joint/fracture filling associated with brittle deformation. Uraninite and coffinite are the primary uranium minerals. Secondary uranium mineralisation is developed in "supergene-like" tabular zones corresponding to the depth of weathering. Most of the mineralisation is hosted within partially weathered and unweathered metasediment. This deposit falls into the category defined by the International Atomic Energy Association (IAEA) as Vein Type, Sub Type Iberian Type.RetortilloThe mineralisation at Retortillo covers a 6km sub-vertical syncline structure with the dominant strike direction being SE-NW. Despite the general dip of the host geological units and structures ranging from 50-70°, the mineralised zone is interpreted to be sub-horizontal (due to post mineralisation supergene processes) to shallowly dipping to the SE.The uranium mineralisation is hosted within Ordovician metasediments adjacent to granite. The mineralisation typically occurs as a sub-horizontal to shallowly dipping layer occurring between surface and 90m depth. The style of the uranium mineralisation includes veins, stockwork and disseminated mineralisation in joint/fracture filling associated with brittle deformation. Uraninite and coffinite are the primary uranium minerals. Secondary uranium mineralisation is developed in "supergene-like" tabular zones corresponding to the depth of weathering. Most of the mineralisation is hosted within totally and partially weathered metasediment. This deposit falls into the category defined by the International Atomic Energy Association (IAEA) as Vein Type, Sub Type Iberian Type.AlamedaThe mineralisation at Alameda has two strong orientations. The main body of the mineralisation trends in a NE-SW direction over a strike length of approximately 800m. To the north, the mineralisation trends in a NNW-SSE direction, sub parallel to lithology, over a strike length of approximately 1,500m. Despite the general dip of the host geological units and structures ranging from 50-70°, the mineralised zone is interpreted to be sub-horizontal (due to post mineralisation supergene processes) to shallowly dipping to the SE.The uranium mineralisation is hosted within Cambrian metasediments adjacent to granite. The mineralisation typically occurs as a sub-horizontal to shallowly dipping layer occurring between surface and 180m depth with strong structural control on either side of a central breccia zone. The style of the uranium mineralisation includes veins, stockwork and disseminated mineralisation in joint/fracture filling associated with brittle deformation. Uraninite and coffinite are the primary uranium minerals. Secondary uranium mineralisation is developed in "supergene-like" tabular zones corresponding to the depth of weathering. Most of the mineralisation is hosted within partially weathered (51%) and unweathered (46%) metasediment. This deposit falls into the category defined by the International Atomic Energy Association (IAEA) as Vein Type, Sub Type Iberian Type.
