First results from the infill program at Bennet Well returned high grades, including 3.6m @ 967 ppm eU3O8 (incl. 1.5m @ 1,800 ppm) and 0.5m @ 2,261 ppm. 26 holes (2,767m) are done of the 8,000m program, due to finish by end October.
An 8,000m, roughly 80-hole aircore program has started at Yanrey's Bennet Well, on 100x100m spacing over a 1x2km area. It tests continuity and seeks higher grades, following the earlier programs' best 2.5m @ 747 ppm eU3O8.
June 2007 quarter: the fourth Yanrey program (2,003m, mud rotary) extended mineralisation at Bennet Well and Manyingee, best 2.5m @ 747 ppm eU3O8. Orange Creek licence granted and the $5.1m placement completed. Routine quarterly repeating known items.

The $5.1m placement of 6 million shares at $0.85 has been completed, resolving the 5 June raising. Mega Uranium subscribed for 2.25m shares, about 5% of the enlarged company.
What it means for a shareholder
6.0m new shares at A$0.850 to raise about A$5.1m. That's 13% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 13% smaller. If you held A$1,000 of shares (1,176 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.00302% to 0.00261% of the company. To keep it you'd need 181 more shares - about A$154 at the issue price.
Conference presentation repeating known projects and capital structure (39m shares, 45m post placement; $2.0m cash, $7.0m post placement). Says the fourth Yanrey program has commenced. No new results.

Exploration licence EL 24870 at Orange Creek (NT) was granted, resolving a pending item. Amadeus now holds three licences covering 2,780 sq km. Historical drilling hit 3.40m at 413 ppm eU3O8. Drilling awaits approvals, heritage clearances and a rig; the Angela and Pamela application is still contested.
A 402 line km trial airborne EM survey has started at the Eclipse project (NT, 7,934 sq km), alongside radiometric and magnetic surveys planned for August and October. These are geophysical surveys, not drilling, and follow the earlier air core program.
The Marree REPTEM survey (1,507 line km) interpreted an extensive palaeodrainage to about 75m depth, up to 2.5km wide and over 20km long, trending northwest. It improves roll-front targets but is a preliminary geophysical result; further interpretation will refine drill targets.
Yanrey exploration drilling resumes with a 2,500m program targeting the Manyingee Channel and Bennet Channel. After April's program was cut short by hard ground, the company now plans to use a mud rotary rig.
Conference presentation repeating known projects. It shows cash of $2.0m, rising to $7.0m after the placement, and shares rising from 39m to 45m. A fourth Yanrey drilling program is to begin shortly.

Scimitar arranged a placement of 6 million shares at $0.85 to raise up to $5.1m, facilitated by Hartleys. Canada's Mega Uranium takes 2.25m shares, about 5% of the enlarged company. Settlement is expected around 10 July, subject to shareholder approval.

A 1,507 line km airborne EM (REPTEM) survey is due to start in early June over the 100%-owned Marree project (SA, 2,697 sq km) to map palaeochannels and faults. This follows the West Lake Frome survey. It is a survey, not drilling.
March 2007 quarter: the third Yanrey program was cut short at 1,350m, with Bennet Well the best result and Manyingee not reached. West Lake Frome EM survey identified Beverley-style formations. A larger rig is booked for July. Routine.
Third Yanrey program was cut short at 1,350m by hard ground. Manyingee's three holes missed target depth; Bennet Well gave modest results, best 1.30m at 292 ppm eU3O8 and 1.05m at 496 ppm, extending mineralisation 1.2km north. Larger rig booked for July or earlier.
A 2,500m drilling program is set to start at Yanrey, targeting the Manyingee Channel next to Paladin's Manyingee deposit and deeper northern extensions of the Bennet Channel. This is the third program, following 4,666m drilled in 2006.
Conference presentation showing 39.0m shares, 13.1m options, $2.6m cash and a $2.0m 2007 exploration budget. A third Yanrey drilling program is due to start in March 2007. Largely repeats known project information.
An airborne EM survey at the 100%-owned West Lake Frome project (SA) identified the same formations that host the Beverley and Beverley 4 Mile deposits, at depths of 50 to 230m. These are drill targets, not drill results; further interpretation continues to define targets.
Half-year to 31 December 2006 accounts. Operations review repeats the uranium portfolio of over 20,000 sq km. Corporate items: 5,000,000 shares issued at $0.50 on 7 December, 900,000 employee options at $0.61 and 3,000,000 director options at $0.75. Financial figures were not in the supplied text.
December 2006 quarter: the $2.5m raising (5m shares at $0.50) completed, Glencoe 2,500m drilling finished, Eclipse air core started (64 holes, 1,364m, assays pending), and a Yanrey gravity survey done. An 831m RC program at BTZ (WA) was also completed. Routine.
8,600,000 shares and 3,500,000 $0.30 options (expiring 31 July 2007) will be released from escrow on 28 January 2007. Only the shares will be quoted. Administrative; more shares can become tradable.
Field mapping at the Mawson licence (EL3502, SA) found uranium-bearing granite bodies, with rock chips up to 850 ppm U. The area is about 10km from Marathon's Mt Gee resource. Ground surveys follow next quarter; this is surface sampling, not drilling.
All eight resolutions passed at the 2006 AGM, including the remuneration report, a director re-election, option grants to the three directors and an employee incentive scheme. Administrative.

Scimitar arranged a private placement of up to 5,000,000 shares at $0.50 to raise up to $2.5 million, managed by Montagu Corporate, which also gets 1.0m options at $0.75. Funds go to uranium exploration including Eclipse and Glencoe drilling. Settlement is expected around 30 November.
What it means for a shareholder
5.0m new shares at A$0.500 to raise about A$2.5m. That's 60% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 60% smaller. If you held A$1,000 of shares (2,000 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.06% to 0.024% of the company. To keep it you'd need 3,000 more shares - about A$1,500 at the issue price.
September 2006 quarter: second Yanrey program completed (2,485m), with the mineralised zone open to the west and north. Plans: 4,000m air core at Eclipse (NT) in November and 2,500m at Glencoe (SA) in December. Market cap stated as A$17m on 34m shares.
Published 2006 Annual Report, repeating the year's results and portfolio of over 20,000 sq km of uranium tenements. Notes uranium price US$53/lb and a further 2,500m Yanrey program started September 2006. Largely repeats the financial report already released.
The second Yanrey program (22 holes, 2,485m) expanded the mineralisation, best 1.75m at 695 ppm eU3O8 including 0.65m at 1,511 ppm at YNAC024. That hole sits 1km from other hits and may be a new area of higher grade needing more drilling. Grades are not yet lab-confirmed.
Annual financial report for year to 30 June 2006: loss of $983,694 (2005: $263,329). Describes a large uranium portfolio across NT, SA and WA, with Yanrey drilling results; further Yanrey drilling started September 2006 and Lake Frome drilling is expected late 2006 or early 2007.
The second Yanrey drilling round, 2,500m, has begun. It targets northern extensions of Bennet Well mineralisation plus closer-spaced infill drilling around the earlier hits. This follows the 22-hole, 2,181m first program and the airborne EM survey that identified targets.
