The winter drill program was intended to test the A1, A1B and A3 EM conductors (Harrison Lake area), located in the south-west area of the property and interpreted to be situated in basement bedrock.
The team has completed approximately 1,988.3m of drilling in seven holes testing three separate basement electromagnetic (EM) conductors.
Additionally, drilling intersected a lithological setting with structural complexity similarly analogous to that of the PL-3B conductor and its association with uranium mineralization at PLS project.
Encouraging basement lithology, alteration and structural features confirm the high prospectivity of the target areas even though only limited radioactivity was encountered.
Fission COO and chief geologist Ross McElroy said that the winter program results at PLN are encouraging and have increased Fission’s knowledge and understanding of the geology at PLN.
"All three conductors remain highly prospective and our next step is to use the drill, radon and geophysics data to prioritize new drill targets for testing during the next drill program," McElroy added.
Anomalous radon in water survey results confirmed the high prospectivity of these targets while additional Squid EM surveys are underway in the Broach Lake area.
Azincourt president and CEO Ted O’Connor said, "The immediate plans are to use the drill, radon and geophysical survey data to prioritize new drill targets for testing during the next drill program."
