20 kilometres from the previously producing Cluff Lake Mine;
20 kilometres east of the Shea Creek Uranium Property held by AREVA and UEX Corp (drill core returned 27% U3O8 over 8.8 metres and 12.57% U3O8 over 11.9 metres).
Several multi-kilometer scale EM conductors have been identified from a recently completed MEGATEM survey. Broad historical airborne uranium anomalies are associated with some of the conductors. 2008 ground geophysical work included Geochemical spring water and stream water sampling to follow-up on 2007 composite boulder lithogeochemical sampling in an attempt to delineate areas of anomalous radon-in-water concentrations, which can indicate areas of significant uranium mineralization.
Geophysical interpretation indicates possible basement highs on the property;
Major structural lineaments transecting the property, which could be favourable for uranium mineralization, were observed in regional geophysics.
A field program sampling 665 boulders has been completed in September 07.Trace elements and clay alteration patterns often associated with unconformity uranium deposits in the Athabasca Basin have been identified in composite boulder samples on the west portion of the property. These anomalous zones are variably coincident with airborne EM conductors and uranium anomalies from regional airborne radiometric data.
A strong 7.5 kilometre long electromagnetic conductor, named here the East Rim Conductor, was identified from the 2007 MEGATEM survey and trends in a north-northeast direction across the northwest side of the property. It is coincident with the East Rim Fault, a prominent basin-scale fault flanking a magnetic high. This conductor is interpreted to be caused by both a near-surface clay altered fault, and a deeper clay altered zone and or basement hosted graphite.
The East Rim Conductor is coincident with a historical airborne uranium anomaly proximal to a geochemical uranium anomaly from boulder samples, taken during 2007 fieldwork. This conductor is ranked as a high priority target for ground Audio Magnetotelluric and ground Resisitivity to verify presence of clay alteration halos and or graphite basement conductors which could be related to uranium mineralization. Permitting for 2008 groundwork and drilling is underway.
