Southern Andes Energy has reported the discovery of new uranium mineralization from preliminary work on its Chacaconiza project area in the Macusani Uranium District, Southeast Peru.


The initial results from an exploration program consisting of detailed mapping, hand supported radiometric surveys, trenching and channel sampling from a portion of the Accocucho Sur target have returned significant widespread uranium mineralization from intensely fractured volcanic ash flow tuffs and ignimbrites.

The Accocucho Sur target is one of four targets located in the large Chacaconiza project area

The mineralized area is characterized by a radiometric anomaly striking for 1.5km that was outlined during a regional survey done in 2006.
