Extract Resources: Major Drill Intersections at Garnet Valley
* Reuters is not responsible for the content in this press release.
SOUTH PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA, Jan 22 (MARKET WIRE)
--
Extract Resources (TSX: EXT)(ASX: EXT) is pleased to announce an update
on the resource drilling program at Garnet Valley on the Husab Uranium
Project in Namibia.
The Company has just received assay results from RC drilling on the
southern end of Garnet Valley, up to 520 metres south west of, and
along-strike from the current zone being modeled for inclusion in the
impending maiden resource estimate. These results represent the best RC
assays received to date, with exceptional widths at medium to high
grades. The new results will not be incorporated in the maiden resource,
but clearly indicate that increases in subsequent resource estimates are
expected.
Major results includes:
------------------------------------------------------
Hole ID From To Mineralised
(m) (m) zones
------------------------------------------------------
GRC062 18 23 5m @ 830 ppm
plus 47 74 27m @ 360 ppm
------------------------------------------------------
GRC063 65 102 37m @ 459 ppm
plus 109 115 6m @ 654 ppm
------------------------------------------------------
GRC064 51 83 32m @ 331 ppm
including 78 82 4m @ 1,208 ppm
------------------------------------------------------
GRC065 65 115 50m @ 494 ppm
including 65 79 14m @ 832 ppm
and 95 115 20m @ 566 ppm
------------------------------------------------------
Details
Previously unreported assay results from 8 RC holes drilled
from the southern portion of Garnet Valley have been returned with a
number of stand-out zones of exceptional width and grade. These RC
results are in fact the best returns to date, with grades significantly
above the current average obtained so far for Garnet Valley. Detailed
assay results are listed in the appended table.
This group of holes is located from 200 to 520 metres further south west,
along-strike of the southern extent of the area upon which the impending
maiden resource is being modeled (see Appendix 1). This clearly indicates
that the initial resource for Garnet Valley will have significant upside
potential. Please refer to attached plan and section for relative
locations.
At present, RC drilling on the Husab Project is being directed at a first
pass assessment of the New Camp and Hook prospects, and exploration
drilling on the Rossing South target area continues. Additional
information will be reported, as it becomes available.
The information in this report that relates to Exploration Results,
Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves is based on information compiled by Mr
Andrew Penkethman who is a Member of the Australian Institute of
Geoscientists. Mr Penkethman is a full time employee of the company. Mr
Penkethman has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of
mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the
activity he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in
the 2004 Edition of the 'Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration
Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves'. Mr Penkethman consents to
the inclusion in this report of the matters based on his information in
the form and context in which it appears.

Notes:
- Analyses on RC chips by Genalysis Laboratory Services, Perth. Uranium
assays were carried out by Four Acid Digest/MS (Method AT/MS).
- Metal values (U) have been converted to oxide values (U3O8) using a
factor of 1.179, and expressed as kg/t U3O8. Note that 100 ppm U3O8 is
equivalent to 0.1 kg/t U3O8, which is 0.01% U3O8.
- Assays expressed as kg/t U3O8 have been converted to lb/ tonne by
multiplying by 2.2046.
- All results are from the Garnet Valley panel of the Ida Trend.
- Intersection widths are estimated to be approximately true width.
