The results indicate a strong, 900mt long train of radioactive boulders extending southwards off the original 12,500 hectare (30,800 acres) claim block. The boulder train runs south from a coincident radon soils anomaly that is centered over an extension of the Patterson conductor corridor that appears to have been disrupted by cross cutting structures.
Additional ground has just been staked to cover this area following the gazetting of the opening of Crown Reserve Land for staking on April 1, 2010. This allowed the new staking, which has added approximately 1004 hectares (2,480 acres) to the joint venture claim block.
The recent airborne survey covered targets selected from earlier airborne and ground surveys which identified a corridor of conductors extending from the SSW trending Patterson Corridor on the adjacent Purepoint Uranium – Cameco Joint Venture claims. The radiometric and high resolution aeromagnetic surveys were flown on a 50 meter line spacing, with an average magnetometer sensor altitude of 17 meters, by Special Projects of Calgary, Alberta.
The radiometric anomaly that extends south of the original claim boundary is flanked by three lake sediment samples with anomalous pathfinder minerals that are typical of Athabasca Basin uranium deposit associations; significant cobalt, nickel, arsenic values (up to 35, 77, and 12 ppm respectively) and modest uranium values (up to 3.5 ppm) are reported in work completed by Geological Survey of Canada (1976).
This suggests a source in bedrock close to the surface. The area of interest is probably outside the cover of the Athabasca sediments and in an area where a shallow (0-150mt ) cover of Prairie sedimentary basin rocks on laps the Archaean basement rocks.
Potential targets here are a shallow Roughrider Zone type (McMahon Lake) deposit, which is a high grade, basement hosted uranium source, or a roll front type deposit in permeable sandstones of the Prairie sedimentary package. Further work will be planned following compilation of the data and full review of the results.
