PLN AREA PROJECTS
Minto
key highlights
LOCATION AND ACCESS
The Minto property is located directly north of the JR zone discovery at PLN. In early July, F3 Uranium redefined the boundaries of the PLN Property, splitting it into three distinct areas: PLN, Minto, and Broach streamlining exploration efforts across these newly defined properties to maximize their potential. The Minto property is easily accessible year-round via Highway 955 which runs directly up the center of the property.
GEOPHYSICS
A 2013 summer/fall geophysical program consisting of a VTEM Max airborne electromagnetic survey, time-domain electromagnetic (TDEM) and magnetotellurics (MT) ground geophysical surveying successfully discovered and outlined an eight-km long north-south trending package of conductive basement rocks. The N Conductor is defined by multiple parallel basement EM conductors, and the overlying low resistivity zone in the lower part of the Athabasca sandstone.
DRILLING
One drill hole was completed on the Minto property in winter 2022 targeting the previously untested N conductor outlined by the 2013 geophysics. PLN22-029 intersected multiple strongly graphitic basement structures within a 91m interval of core. Broken sections of core display cataclastic and mylonitic textures indicative of brittle and ductile deformation. PLN23-029 intersected weakly anomalous radioactivity of 300cps (RS-125 Handheld Scintillometer) at 783.8m. Highly anomalous boron was intersected throughout much of the sandstone, with samples indicating up to 1,780ppm.
Uranium Exploration Potential
Located directly north of the JR zone discovery and 28 km south of the Shea Creek deposit. Geophysical programs have outlined an eight-km long north-south trending package of conductors as well as a resistivity low anomaly withing the Athabasca sandstone above the conductive package. Multiple interpreted EM conductors on the property remain untested. The single drill hole completed on the property returned highly anomalous Boron withing the sandstone and the underlying basement displayed multiple graphitic brittle and ductile zones as well as weakly anomalous radiation, further highlighting the areas exploration potential.
