The multi-faceted surface geochemical sampling program has been conducted in partnership with Cameco, the Queen’s Facility for Isotope Research (QFIR), and Environmental BioTechnologies (EBT).
Currently under drill-developed stage by Cameco and its joint venture partners, Areva Resources Canada and Formation Metals, the Centennial deposit is a high-grade unconformity-type uranium deposit occurring at a depth of approximately 800m.
The survey aims to advance remote sensing geochemical technology by identifying unique geochemical and isotopic signatures in the surface environment that support element migration from a high-grade uranium deposit at depths >800m.
The surface geochemical techniques development provides a means of rapidly evaluating under-explored basin environments in order to get to mineral discovery more quickly and cost effectively.
