Hedleys Uranium

The Hedleys Uranium Prospect within the Nicholson Project is characterised by a pronounced airborne uranium radiometric anomaly, closely linked with a significant fault line. Historically, this anomaly was attributed to radon gas emanations in spring waters, and to date, it remains undrilled.

The Hedleys Uranium Prospect offers the potential for significant uranium discoveries, akin to those in world-renowned regions like the Athabasca Basin and the Alligator River Region, promising substantial benefits for energy resources and mining advancements.

  • Superior’s investigations have refined the understanding of this anomaly, pinpointing its origin to a position roughly 100 to 150 metres above a crucial geological boundary. This boundary, or unconformity, lies between the sandstones and siltstones of the South Nicholson Group and the deeper carbonaceous siltstones of the Doomadgee Formation alongside the Mt Les Siltstone.
  • The significance of this finding is underscored by parallels drawn with major uranium deposits found in notable regions such as the Athabasca Basin in Canada and the Alligator River Region in Australia. These deposits are typically situated near unconformities similar to those identified at the Hedleys Uranium Prospect, suggesting a high potential for uranium mineralization worthy of further exploration.

Comparison of Hedleys and Valhalla Airborne Uranium Anomalies. The contoured image shows contours of eUranium at 5ppm intervals. The top two plans show the Valhalla airborne Uranium anomaly at the same scale and with the same processing as in the bottom plans (both are from the MIM radiometrics). Valhalla has resources of 25000 to 30000 tonnes contained U3O8. It is reasonable to conclude that the Hedleys anomaly is potentially quite significant.
