Aldershot Resources Limited has been granted a Prospecting Licence (PL LS310) in the southern part of the Republic of Zambia. The Licence area in the Southern Province of Zambia on the northern shore of Lake Kariba (Kariba PL).
The Kariba Prospecting License is almost entirely underlain by the Carboniferous to Jurassic aged Karoo Supergroup on the edge of the mid-Zambezi rift valley. Potential for sandstone hosted uranium deposits within the Upper Karoo Escarpment grit (both as detrital deposits and fracture/fault controlled autunite-torbenite-pitchblende mineralization) has been recognized and actively explored by a number of previous companies including Chartered Exploration, Power Reactor and Nuclear Fuel Development Corporation, Saarburg and particularly AGIP who were very active in the area in 1970’s and early 1980’s
