NE Athabasca Basin
Flowerdew Lake
key highlights
strategic locations
The property is situated along the Wollaston-Mudjatik domain transition zone, renowned for housing many of the Athabasca Basin’s major unconformity-type uranium deposits. This strategic location signifies its potential for significant uranium findings.
Historic Location
Geological mapping identifies the area as comprising semi-pelitic gneiss in close association with felsic intrusives. Additionally, it features interpreted basement formational EM conductors, with signs of cross-faulting indicated by discrepancies in magnetic, electromagnetic, and resistivity survey data.
Strong Conductors
The ground resistivity measurements reveal notable lows correlating with lithologic contacts, suggesting possible clay alteration zones. These areas are considered highly prospective for uranium precipitation. Remarkably, this promising area has yet to be subjected to drill testing, highlighting its untapped potential.
Background
The property consists of four contiguous claims totaling 5,667 hectares cover an area that is approximately 13km by 4km in size. The property is located along the regional geological trend to the northeast of the Rabbit Lake, Eagle Point and Collins Bay uranium mines.
In the 1970s, Denison Mines and Amax Exploration focused on areas east and south of the claims. Triex Minerals and Roughrider Uranium conducted a DIGHEM survey in 2005 over Flowerdew Lake, identifying electromagnetic conductors and potential faulting. A 2006 induced polarization survey highlighted a resistivity low along a semi-pelite and granite gneiss contact, possibly indicating mineralization.
