Havilah Resources<br />
Radium Hill<br />
• <strong>Australia</strong>’s first hard rock uranium mine<br />
• 1954–1961 — Radium Hill mine produced approximately 1150 t of uranium with 954<br />
000 t of davidite ore mined for an average grade of 1.2 kg/t U 3 O 8<br />
• First systematic exploration for hard rock uranium mineralisation in the region since<br />
the closure of the Radium Hill mine more than 45 years ago<br />
• 2007 exploration to focus on<br />
- surface sampling of davidite<br />
- trenching to examine alteration minerals in host rocks along strike<br />
- drilling<br />
• Good potential for new discoveries using ultra-detailed airborne radiometric and<br />
magnetic surveys and shallow RC drilling<br />
