GovieX Uranium (GXU): Commences Radon Gas Survey at Madaouela Uranium Project Site

GovieX Uranium (GXU), a mineral exploration and development company, recently launched efforts to further optimize its Madaouela Project. Announced earlier this month, a radon gas survey is being conducted over the Niger-based uranium project in an effort to identify drill targets adjacent to its Miriam deposit, with a goal of expanding its resources.
“We are undertaking this survey as part of our on-going and measured efforts to advance all of our uranium projects and in particular, seek to improve the economics of our Madaouela Project from that reported in the project’s pre-feasibility study technical report,” said Daniel Major, CEO of GovieX. “Even though GoviEx currently has substantial uranium reserves and resources ? in fact, one of the largest resource of any publicly traded uranium explorer or producer ? finding more resources that are amenable to lower-cost, open-pit mining is important in the current uranium price environment. Obtaining favourable results from these tests should positively impact our recently announced initiative to seek debt financing for our planned mine at the Madaouela Project.”
The survey is being carried out by RadonEx Ltd. of St. Lazare, Quebec
Headquartered in Vancouver, GovieX Uranium, along with its subsidiaries, is dedicated to exploring and evaluating, and developing uranium mineral properties. Formerly known as Govi High Power Exploration until its name change in 2008, the company’s lead project, the Madaouela project, contains five mineral tenements.
Other projects currently underway include:
Mutanga, located in Zambia, contains uranium deposits hosted within sandstones of the Escarpment Grit Formation of the Karoo Super Group.
Falea, located in Mali, where most known ore zones remain open for exploration.]
Furthermore, the company appointed Medea Capital Partners Ltd, as part of an integrated four-part strategy, to begin the first stage of its Madaouela project finance structuring. According to an official news release, the company's financial strategy aims to accomplish the following:
Debt finance structuring
Project optimization and completion of detailed engineering
Off-take structuring
Project equity financing
"We look forward to continuing to work with the Medea Capital team on the structuring of the potential debt financing for the development of the Madaouela Project,” said Major. “We are excited about the possibility of working with various ECAs who have a mandate to provide insurance coverage on debt related to projects in developing nations – including Niger.”
With plans to strengthen its financial position and expand its resources, the investment community looks forward to the results of GovieX Uranium’s initial survey results.

GoviEx Launches RadonEx Program Targeted at Expanding Resources at Miriam to Further Optimize Madaouela Project
5:31 pm ET October 4, 2016 (Market Wire) Print
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Oct 4, 2016) - GoviEx Uranium Inc. (TSX VENTURE:GXU) ("GoviEx" or the "Company") announced that RadonEx Ltd. of St. Lazare, Quebec, has been contracted to carry out an inaugural radon gas survey over its Madaouela uranium project (the "Madaouela Project") in the prolific Arlit uranium-mining district of northern Niger.
Daniel Major, GoviEx's CEO commented, "We are undertaking this survey as part of our on-going and measured efforts to advance all of our uranium projects and in particular, seek to improve the economics of our Madaouela Project from that reported in the project's pre-feasibility study technical report(1). Even though GoviEx currently has substantial uranium reserves and resources -- in fact, one of the largest resource of any publicly traded uranium explorer or producer -- finding more resources that are amenable to lower-cost, open-pit mining is important in the current uranium price environment. Obtaining favourable results from these tests should positively impact our recently announced initiative to seek debt financing for our planned mine at the Madaouela Project."
Govind Friedland, GoviEx's Executive Chairman stated "GoviEx continues to move forward in its quest to become a significant, low-cost uranium miner. This is just a part of our strategic efforts to further develop our four projects in Africa."
GoviEx has four different uranium projects in Africa containing combined resources of approximately 124 million lbs U3O8 (measured and indicated) and 73 million lbs U3O8 (inferred) estimated in accordance with National Instrument 43-101. Among the four projects, GoviEx's Madaouela Project has approximately 61 million lbs U3O8 of Probable Mineral Reserves(1, 2).
The radon survey is planned for the Company's flagship Madaouela Project in Niger, and is being undertaken to identify drill targets adjacent to its Miriam deposit, with a goal of expanding the deposit's resources. Miriam is one of six deposits at the Madaouela Project, and is estimated to contain over 22 million lbs U3O8. Miriam also is expected to be developed first and to provide the mill feed for the initial eight years of the project's mine life.
Radon gas is produced by the radioactive decay of radium-226, which is found in uranium ores. Radon gas detection can be a reliable indicator of the presence of uranium and its radon measurement is a technique frequently used in uranium exploration. Importantly, at the Madaouela Project, the radon survey can first be correlated to known drilled deposits, and then may be able to provide a rapid, low-cost approach to highlight previously untested uranium targets with the potential to increase the project's resource base.
The initial survey area selected covers part of the Miriam deposit and is designed to confirm the suitability of the survey. Once the suitability of the survey has been validated, the survey area will then extend along controlling structures to look for similar deposits. The radon flux monitors will be set out on an initial spacing of 100 metres along lines 400 metres apart. Upon completion of the initial survey, the grid will be closed up where anomalies have been identified to achieve a higher resolution.
A successful radon survey could lead to the expansion of resources at the Madaouela Project that that are amenable to open-pit mining (as contemplated in the Madaouela PFS), which could enable GoviEx to defer capital associated with the underground mine development and increase the scale of the project's lower-cost, open-pit mining at the beginning of the planned mines' operation. The combination of factors should result in an improvement in the projects' economics and valuation as compared to that set out in the Madaouela PFS.

RadonEx is a Canadian-based company specializing in radon gas surveys for uranium exploration. They have been in operation for 10 years in North America and Africa and are recognized experts in electret ionization chamber (EIC) radon surveys. The EIC technique measures a voltage drop on a positively-charged Teflon surface (the electret), caused by alpha radiation generated by the influx of radon-into-radon flux monitors. It is a passive time-integrating approach to the science of radon measurement.
