Haranga Resources Limited announced that Senegalese drilling contractor International Drilling Company (IDC), have mobilised drilling equipment to the Company's exploration camp near the Saraya Prospect. Drilling will commence in mid-October 2022 once the drill rig has undergone routine maintenance and the drill site preparation has been completed. The twenty-three hole drill programme has been designed by mineral resource consultants RSC of Australia, to test the validity of the Exploration Target of 5 to 20 million tonnes at a grade range of 350 to 750 ppm eU3O8 (4-35 Mlb contained Eu3o8), announced on 5 September 2022.

Resource Validation Program: Planned drilling aims to validate the geological interpretation and verify historical eU grades. Diamond drilling will also allow sampling for chemical assays to validate the K-factors used in historical resource estimations. The program should lead to a more robust understanding of the geological architecture of the Saraya deposit and a validated eU database.

Based on the success of the drill validation programme, the Company will proceed with building a robust geological domain model that could support a future mineral resource classification in accordance with the JORC Code (2012). The validation drill plan consists of 23 drill holes for a total of 3,200 m. The holes have been categorised into two stages: Stage 1 consists of 15 drill holes for 2,000 m and Stage 2 consists of 8 drill holes for 1,200 m. Drill holes in Stage 1 have been designed to twin historical holes, test the 040 geological model and test areas with an oblique or perpendicular mineralisation orientation. The drilling programme will also form part of the Environmental Baseline Study which has been developed.

Drill holes in Stage 2 have been designed to further develop the geological model by targeting deeper mineralisation and additional untested areas with unconstrained orientations. The Company has allowed flexibility in the drilling contract to extend the drill program beyond the planned 3,200 m program, to continue to expand on the known mineralisation at the Saraya prospect and/or to test any new targets identified.
