Mega Uranium Ltd. (TSX: MGA)  and Red Hill Energy Inc. (TSX VENTURE: RH) have announced the discovery of three large uranium deposits in the Emeelt uranium site, 350 kilometers southeast of Ulaanbaatur. 

The 62 square meter site is now scheduled to be explored to a depth of 1,200 meters to determine the available uranium for possible extraction. 

Reports indicate radioactive leakage near the Ulaan Nuur Fault zone, leading mining officials to believe significant deposits may lie below the surface. 

While uranium was first discovered in this area by Russian and Mongolian Geologists in 1979, the current exploration is unearthing deposits larger than previously anticipated.
