The Company is accelerating its resource extension drilling program at Angularli, following the lifting of access restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The main Angularli deposit is open at depth and parallel uranium-bearing structures have been identified to the southwest and along strike to the north and south.
In addition to the existing Mineral Resource, Angularli has an Exploration Target of between 20-60Mlbs U3O8 for 1.2-1.8Mt of uranium mineralisation at a grade of 0.75% - 1.5% U3O8. The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target are conceptual in nature and important to note that there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.

Reverse circulation holes ARRC003, -004, -006, -007 and -010 were drilled along three traverses to the west of the Angularli deposit, targeting Angularli West. All of those drill holes intersected significant Angularli-style hydrothermal distal alteration with anomalous uranium mineralisation. Peak uranium grades of 0.16% eU3O8 in hole ARRC004 and 0.10% eU3O8 in hole ARRC006 were obtained at the unconformity. More importantly, ARRC010 displayed very strong proximal alteration and silica flooded breccia at the unconformity, two key features of the main Angularli deposit.
Identification of these alteration haloes provided important vectors to unconformity-related uranium mineralisation given the small footprint of these high-grade deposits. Vimy intends to drill three more traverses along Angularli West to properly test the multiple structures.
