Etango North-East
The Etango North-East Project is located in the western part of Namibia and covers 30km2 and is in close proximity to advanced uranium projects including:
- Active Mining Licence (ML 250) held by Bannerman Mining Resource Namibia (Pty) Ltd currently under development which boasts a Resource of 416Mt @ 225ppm U3O8
- EPL 3138 held by Swakop Uranium (Pty) Ltd which borders Etango North-East on the south-western part which hosts a Resource of 241Mt @ 480ppm U3O8
Maiden exploration has been carried out in 2025 which has defined three clear target prospects: Ondapanda, Onkumbwa and Pandula.
Drilling at the Ondapanda Prospect has delivered strong results, with 14 of the 15 holes drilled delivering economic uranium grades.
The results demonstrate multiple, stacked and mineralised, Alaskites (leucogranite), which further reinforces Connected Minerals’ view that the geology follows the model of the Bannerman Energy’s world-class Etango Uranium Project.
Key results from Etango North-East include:
- OPRC0008 – 5m @ 358 ppm eU₃O₈ from 88m including 2m @ 643 ppm eU₃O₈, and 1m @ 814 ppm eU₃O₈ from 89m
- OPRC0010 – 4m @ 230 ppm eU₃O₈ from 47m including 2m @ 283 ppm eU₃O₈, and 1m @ 345 ppm eU₃O₈ from 47m
- OPRC0003 – 3m @ 237 ppm eU₃O₈ from 122m including 1m @ 302 ppm eU₃O₈
- OPRC0006 – 3m @ 312 ppm eU₃O₈ from 68m including 1m @ 340 ppm eU₃O₈
- OPRC0015 – 3m @ 249 ppm eU₃O₈ from 129m including 1m @ 319 ppm eU₃O₈
Further extensional and infill drilling is being planned for the Ondapanda Prospect, in addition to mapping and sampling at the as yet untested Onkumbwa and Pandula targets to the south.
The Etango North-East Project benefits from nearby accessible infrastructure including electricity, communication and water supply.
