The Northern Arizona Uranium Project, LLC Uranium Breccia Pipe Mining

The NAU Project, LLC The Makapuu Claims. Three claims covering a breccia pipe located with a CSAMT survey and a comparative Geochemistry Survey. There are two instances of uranium mineralization at the surface along with goethite psuedomorphs after pyrites and other goethite forms.

The NAU Project, LLC The mining claims located by the NAU Project, LLC are near the Southern boundary of the Kaibab National Forest in the Tusayan Ranger District south of Anita Road and west of Highway 64. The breccia pipe targets were located by using satellite imagery and then following up with field visits to examine the topography and for any evident mineralization. A Geochemical Comparative Survey was performed on the Makapuu claims and positive results indicating a mineralized pipe were followed up with a Controlled Source Audio- Magnetotelluric (CSAMT) survey that mapped out the location of the pipe. A Soil Gas Hydrocarbon (SGH) soil survey and analysis was performed to determine if there was a Uranium ore deposit. The SGH analysis was very positive for uranium and located the deposit in the same location that the CSAMT survey indicated that the breccia pipe was located. A CSAMT survey was also done on the Aiea claim and it is believed that the line of stations cut through the side of the upper(wider) part of the pipe and that further CSAMT work will need to be done to verify a pipe at the Aiea target. If a pipe is confirmed, follow-up geochemical analysis will need to be done to find out if a mineralized pipe is likely.

The NAU Project, LLC The Aiea claim. There is CSAMT work that suggest that a breccia pipe exists at the center of the inwardly sloping area surrounding the small central basin. Goethite pseudomorph after pyrites can be found in the drainage and basin area.

Geochemical Survey to Find Evidence of a Mineralized Breccia Pipe The Makapuu breccia pipe target circled in red. The green pins are the background sample locations. A geochemical survey of a breccia pipe target compares the concentrations of elements inside the target area to concentrations outside the target area. The samples assayed are from the soil, 4 to 8 inches below the surface. To start the comparison the “mean” concentration value for all the samples - both target and background- are determined for each element of interest. An enrichment correlation value is found by the following formula as put forth by the USGS: CV = (# of Target Val > Mean) - (# of Bckgrnd Val > Mean)‏ # of Target Values # of Backgrnd Values The USGS determined that a correlation value greater than or equal to 0.2 meant that an element was enriched. Less than or equal to -0.2 meant that the element was depleted. In between these two values and the correlation was indeterminate.

Geochemical Survey for the Makapuu Breccia Pipe Target Results #1 There are nine primary elements and four secondary elements that are the best indicators for evidence of a mineralized breccia pipe. The primary elements are Uranium, Molybdenum, Lead, Zinc, Copper,Silver, Nickel, Cobalt, and Arsenic. The secondary elements are Vanadium, Chromium, Iron, and Lithium. The Makapuu target is enriched in 7 of the 9 primary elements.

Geochemical Survey for the Makapuu Breccia Pipe Target Results #2 Some of the background samples near the Makapuu breccia pipe target may be on the metallic halos of other nearby breccia pipes. Samples were taken east of the road as shown, in an area free of breccia pipe morphology. These samples may be considered to be a truer background. The correlation values increase dramatically. Eight of nine primary indicator elements are enriched and two of the secondary elements are enriched.
