Madaba Uranium Project, Tanzania

01     Focus on defining near-surface uranium resources.

Pioneering a sustainable future with nuclear power.

The Madaba Uranium Project spans 613sqm and is considered highly prospective for uranium mineralisation. It targets a geological setting similar to the Nyota Uranium Deposit, which hosts 125Mlbs of U₃O₈ at 300ppm.
Location:
Approximately 250km southwest of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania
Commodity:
Highly prospective for uranium mineralisation
Project Size:
613 sq km
Licences:
PL 13153/2024, PL 13217/2025, PL 31159/2025
Status:
Early-stage exploration with historical rock chip sampling, trenching, and drilling.
02     Historical Exploration:

Extensive early-stage exploration.

Originally discovered between 1979–1982 by German company Uranerzbergbau GmbH (UEB), the project underwent extensive early-stage exploration including geological mapping, ground radiometrics, trenching and sampling and reconnaissance drilling. UEB’s 1979 airborne radiometric survey revealed numerous anomalies. In 2009, East Africa Resources reinterpreted this data using modern software, identifying 174 potential targets—with ~120 still unexplored.

Historical drilling at Madaba has returned numerous stand-out results, including:

  • 15m @ 612  ppm U3O8  from 4m incl. 3m @ 2,465 ppm U3O8 from 10m (P15)
  • 16m @ 337 ppm U3O8  from 4m incl. 4m @1,082 ppm U3O8from 8m (P16),
  • 7m @ 693 ppm U3O8 from 9m (P17),
  • 7m @ 510 ppm eU3O8 from 136.5m (D12),
  • 9.6m @ 675 ppm eU3O8 from 74m (D8),
  • 7m @ 890 ppm U3O8 from 30m (P104),
  • 15m @ 420 ppm eU3O8 from 47m (P103),

Note: ‘ppm U3O8‘ refers to chemical assays while ‘ppm eU3O8‘ refers to gamma assays

03     Project Strategy
Focus on defining near-surface uranium resources.

Ideal for shallow auger drilling.

Madaba is an Upper Karoo sandstone-type uranium prospect of early Jurassic age. Uranium mineralisation is found in: Hanging Wall Series Coloured Series (upper 60m) Channel-facies sandstone beds (e.g. Plateau Sandstone).

These formations are gently dipping and tectonically stable, allowing for shallow mineralisation targets. Surface uranium has been oxidised and remobilised, forming high-grade secondary deposits within the top 5m—ideal for shallow auger drilling
