Why the area is important
Emergence of a Uranium District
The Key Lake area, positioned on the eastern side of the Athabasca Basin, is distinguished by its fully-operational high-grade mines and mills. This locale enjoys the advantage of well-developed infrastructure and easy road access, making it a strategic hub for mining operations.
High-Grade Uranium Discovery
Historically, the region has produced 208 million pounds of uranium at a grade of 2.32% U3O8, primarily from shallow depths. This track record highlights the area’s significant potential for uranium extraction.
Strategic Property Portfolio and Access
Fission Uranium Corp. owns five projects in the Key Lake area, each demonstrating the potential for hosting near-surface, high-grade uranium. Historical exploration across these projects has consistently confirmed uranium presence, underlining their prospective value.
