What are the key geological structures influencing the high-grade uranium mineralization at Portland Creek?

The drilling will investigate two key structures: a granite-sediment contact forming the western boundary and a north-south fault forming the eastern boundary of a 1500-2000m wide corridor. Mineralization appears linked to a shatter zone within this corridor, suggesting potential for a primary uranium source. This is supported by a previous grab sample assay of 2180 ppm uranium oxide.
