A Pirie Basin rotary hole at the Glensea Prospect returned 12 metres at 0.42% copper from 186 m to end of hole, with some gold, uranium and rare earths. Company sees possible iron-oxide copper-gold-uranium style mineralisation, a new copper angle. Core drilling is planned.
Pirie Basin's first program (31 rotary holes, ~4,300 m) found thick Eocene sands suited to in situ recovery in all 26 target-area holes. Best uranium readings were 11 m at 102 ppm eU3O8 in basement clay and 0.44 m at 84 ppm in sands. Closer-spaced drilling is next; no discovery yet.
Completed soil sampling at Cutana found seven further strongly anomalous gold zones southwest of White Dam, in addition to the northern targets. Some resemble neighbouring Vertigo and Ambush prospects. Infill sampling to define drill positions starts next week; no drilling yet.
Administrative notice that 20,141,667 shares will be released from ASX escrow and can be traded from 2 August 2011. No new project or financial information.
Soil sampling at the 100%-owned Cutana Project found five areas of strong anomalous gold (peaks above 10 ppb in three) just north of the White Dam gold mine. Results for the larger southern block are pending; drilling is a later step. Follows April's Cutana sampling start.
Duncan Cornish resigned as joint Company Secretary effective 15 June 2011. Angelo Gaudio continues as CFO and sole Company Secretary and is the ASX listing rule contact.
First Pirie Basin drill results: all nine rotary holes hit thick Eocene sands (up to 60 metres), the same host as nearby Mullaquana, with gamma readings up to 0.010% eU3O8 at about 120 metres. A further 2,000 metres is planned to find mineralised traps. Early encouraging, not yet a discovery.
Government airborne survey data appear to show basement conductors over the historic Luck at Last copper mine in the Farina Project, which Renaissance says fits its copper-uranium model. A detailed survey is planned before any drilling.
Review of old data at the 100%-owned Cutana Project shows elevated uranium in gossans at Shorts Dam (peak 285 ppm U3O8) and possible gold structures extending from the nearby White Dam mine. Geochemical sampling has started; no drilling yet.
Renaissance began a 3,500 metre drilling program at Pirie Basin, including 30 rotary mud holes to test whether UraniumSA's Mullaquana uranium extends southwest, plus up to six holes on iron-oxide copper-gold-uranium targets. This is its first drilling since listing.
Five exploration leases granted: four in the Marree Projects and one at Gairdner. Marree leases show uranium anomalies in airborne data. Reconnaissance work, including sampling and gravity access, is planned from March.
Angelo Gaudio, formerly Vice President Finance at Heathgate Resources (Beverley mine), appointed Chief Financial Officer and joint Company Secretary from 28 February 2011. Duncan Cornish stays as joint Company Secretary.
South Australian regulator consented to the Cowell JV over EL 3978, resolving the pending approval. Renaissance issued Hiltaba 750,000 shares and 750,000 options at $0.24. It can earn 75% of the 840 km2 licence; Pirie Basin drilling expected this quarter.
Share trading policy adopted 24 December 2010, setting clearance rules for directors and staff dealing in company securities. Standard administrative document with no new substance.
Initial gravity survey over the Pirie Basin Project is complete. Data will be reviewed in early 2011 to choose drill sites, after which Renaissance will either drill selected targets or run more detailed gravity surveys.
Stellar Resources congratulates Renaissance on listing and restates the Pirie Basin JV terms: Renaissance earns 75%, must spend at least $500,000 over 18 months, and Stellar gets 750,000 shares and options once ministerial consent is granted. No new events.
Renaissance began trading on ASX as RNU on 15 December 2010 after an $8.0m IPO at $0.20 per share, giving a $22.7m market value and $9.5m pro-forma net cash. Pirie Basin is the first priority, with drilling expected early 2011.
