| Historical
Drill Data
Homeland obtained printed logs of all 92 known
historical drill holes in and around the Agelal
license area. All have been digitized and entered
into the data base. There is no historical
drilling within the Asekra block. These drill
data have enabled Homeland geologists to create
cross sections that highlight sub-basin and
mineralization trends, and to generate isopach
maps for each of the sedimentary units. This
has in turn helped to delineate the location
of, and bracket the time within which the sub-basins
developed. Uranium deposits are associated
with areas of thicker sedimentation derived
from uranium-bearing source rocks to the east.

Cogema holes (1970’s), the colored holes
having intersected anomalous radioactivity at
