Skeleton Coast Uranium completes digitisation of historical Namibia exploration data
TSX-V-listed Skeleton Coast Uranium Corp has informed shareholders that metals and mining advisory firm Practara has completed the digitisation of the historical exploration data for Skeleton Coast's five exclusive prospecting licences in the Erongo region of Namibia.
This completes the Phase 1 data consolidation and target definition recommended in Skeleton Coast's technical reports. Interpretation of the compiled data has defined priority target areas on each licence for field validation.
Skeleton Coast says the digitisation programme recovered a heterogeneous archive of scanned historical exploration sheets held for the licences and the surrounding district, comprising regional and prospect-scale geological mapping, historical exploration reports, regional airborne geophysics, ground radiometric and geophysical surveys, geochemical sampling and historical drilling records, and converted it into a consistent, spatially referenced digital dataset.
Each sheet was reviewed, classified by data type (drilling, geochemistry, geophysics, geology, locality and general), and, where the available control allowed, georeferenced. Sheets that could not be georeferenced, duplicates, sheets without data values and cross sections lacking vertical control were tagged and excluded, with the reason recorded, so that the exclusions are auditable and can be revisited if further control becomes available.
"With the digitisation completed, we hold, for the first time, the full historical record of these licences in one georeferenced dataset. With this information, we have generated better exploration targets on each licence under both uranium models and it is the base on which the reinterpretation of airborne data and this season's ground work are built," comments Skeleton Coast CEO Dr Nathan Chutas.
