The company's primary focus is on its Gardiner-Tanami Super Project, comprising some 11,700km2 in the Granites-Tanami region of WA and the NT. Geologically, the Gardiner-Tanami Super Project area compares favourably with both the Alligator Rivers region in the NT and the Athabasca Basin in Canada, the latter being host to the world's highest-grade unconformity-related uranium deposits.
Northern Uranium has a strategic alliance with the major French nuclear group, Areva NC, via its wholly owned subsidiaries, Areva NC Australia Pty Ltd (Areva) and Afmeco Mining and Exploration Pty Ltd (Afmex). In 2007 Afmex was appointed the operator of uranium exploration and development of the Gardiner-Tanami Super Project (including Denison Range). Areva will also market any uranium produced by Northern Uranium, and has a substantial shareholding in the Company.
Northern Uranium's long term strategy is to develop high grade uranium projects, through targeted exploration across its current tenement base, and acquisition of complementary uranium prospects, both within Australia and offshore.
