Located approximately 30 kms north of Mount Isa.

The deposit contains a number of ore lenses which can be up to 50 m thick and have a combined strike length of over 1,300 m. High grade intervals are associated with quartz veins within brecciated and albitised siltstones and basalts. The deposit area is structurally complex, and orebodies are truncated and offset by faults.

Owned by Paladin Energy Ltd.

The Skal uranium deposit was discovered 30 kilometres north of the regional centre of Mt Isa. The drilling of 57 holes totalling 9,592 metres of the deposit was completed in 2011. The drilling completed resource drill outs of 40 metres by 40 metres. The Skal uranium deposit consists of a number of ore lenses that are concentrated in four main zones within an area of two square kilometres.
