Mining group BHP Billiton Ltd/Plc has suspended its exploration operations in Angola after a helicopter crash on Friday killed five people on the way to its Alto Cuilo Camp site in the north east of the country.

In a statement seen by Reuters on Sunday, BHP Billiton (BHP.AX)(BHP.L) said those killed included David Hopgood, the Australian chief operating officer of BHP Billiton Angola.

It said two helicopters struck bad weather as they were transporting personnel to Alto Cuilo Camp, a joint venture with London-listed Petra Diamonds (PDL.L), forcing both to land temporarily before taking off again when the weather cleared.

The second craft later went missing and its wreckage was only found on Saturday, the company said, adding: “Tragically, none of the passengers had survived the crash.” (more…)

The Northern Territory’s Department of Mines says it has not made a decision on applications for an exploration licence at the Angela and Pamela uranium deposits south of Alice Springs.

Last December, Norm McCleary from McCleary Investments pegged out claims over the deposits after the Northern Territory Government lifted restrictions on the land.

Mr McCleary’s claim gazumped applications from 37 companies.

The Supreme Court ruled the claim unlawful and in October McCleary Investments decided not to pursue an appeal.

A spokeswoman from the Mines Department says the other applications can now start to be assessed, but she says it is unclear when a decision will be made./au.biz.yahoo

Delta Uranium Inc. (“Delta” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that exploration is well underway on its Kenora Uranium Project in Northwestern Ontario. To date a regional airborne radiometric survey and ground follow-up geophysical program have been completed, while a geochemical survey, including grab, channel and soil sampling, is underway. In addition to confirming many of the historical uranium showings, the surveys have identified a number of new and significant anomalies. The current exploration program is designed to advance selected targets to first phase drilling scheduled for this winter.

In all, 42 historic uranium occurrences are known in this part of Ontario and their location coincides with that of a large uranium anomaly in lake-bottom sediments. For the first time in the history of exploration in this part of Ontario, one company (Delta) controls nearly all of the significant uranium occurrences.
