Traction Uranium Key Lake South Property Receives Drill Permits from the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment

Winter 2023 KLS Drill Program to follow up on “Radioactive Black Soil” that Assayed High Grade Uranium Mineralization (0.93 wt.% U3O8 and 1180 ppm Cobalt) and a “Radioactive Swamp” Discovered in Fall of 2022

 

Calgary, AB – February 14, 2023 – Traction Uranium Corp. (CSE: TRAC) (OTCQB: TRCTF) (FRA: Z1K) (the “Company” or “Traction”) is pleased to announce that, along with UGreenco Energy Corp., it has received (i) diamond drilling, (ii) borehole surveys, (iii) trail development and (iv) temporary work camp permits from the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment (collectively, the “Permits”) for the Company’s upcoming winter 2023, 2,000 metre diamond drill program at the Key Lake South Property (“KLS Property”), such Permits are valid to July 31, 2024.

 

Lester Esteban, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated: “after our team encountered high-grade uranium mineralization (see news release dated November 14, 2022) in the “black soil” and discovered a new radioactive anomaly the “radioactive swamp”, we have been busy preparing to return to the KLS Property with the drill. Receipt of the drill permits from the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment brings us one step closer to being fully permitted for our 2023 winter drill program at the KLS Property.”

 

About the Upcoming KLS Drill Program:

 

Phase 1 diamond drilling is planned with 2,000 metres, targeting areas with extreme surface uranium anomalies, including the “black soil” anomaly, the “radioactive swamp” and the “Athabasca Sandstone” mapped in 1973 (referenced from Assessment Report # 74H04-001, (SMAD) Saskatchewan Mineral Assessment Database). Most of the drill targets are situated at the edge of the broad gravity-lows identified in the ground gravity survey of 2022 (see Figure 1).

 

About the “Black Soil” and “Radioactive Swamp”:

 

The previously unknown radioactive anomalies discovered by Traction’s exploration team during the ground program of 2022 (see news release dated September 27, 2022) were the “radioactive swamp” and “black soil”. Sampling of the “black soil”, where the horizon had an observed thickness of approximately 30 centimetres, returned 0.93 wt.% U308, 1180 ppm Cobalt, 625 ppm Nickel and 196 ppm Boron (see news release dated November 14, 2022). Further sampling is required, the “radioactive swamp” is accessible in the winter when the swamp is frozen and may host uranium anomalies that may be similar to the “black soil”. An overburden drilling program is being considered to test for uranium mineralization near the surface in the overburden/till.

Richard Mazur, President & CEO of Forum Energy Metals stated, “We are pleased to work with the Traction team to unlock the potential to host new, large uranium deposits along this underexplored, favourable structural corridor.”

 

The Grease River Property

 

The Grease River Project is located within the north-central margin of the Athabasca Basin near the community of Fond du Lac (see Figure 1). The project consists of two separate claim blocks situated along the NE-trending Grease River Shear zone, a major intracontinental shear zone greater than 400 km long (see Figure 2). The nearby Fond du Lac uranium deposit was previously discovered within the shear zone by Amok and Eldorado in the 1970s with an estimated non-compliant historical resource of one million pounds uranium at an average grade of 0.25% U3O8*. The Grease River Project claims are located along trend of the deposit to the southwest and northeast. Limited exploration has been conducted in the property area and there is potential for additional uranium mineralization along the shear zone. Airborne geophysical surveys are planned in 2023 to aid in structural mapping and to define prospective drill targets.

*Some historical estimates were completed prior to the implementation of NI 43-101 and others are internal estimates from previous operators. Given the extensive exploration work completed by experienced mineral resource companies, and the quality of the historical work completed, the Company believes the historical estimate to be relevant and reliable. However, a qualified person has not completed sufficient work to verify and classify the historical estimate as a current mineral resource, and the Company is not treating the historical estimate as a current mineral resource. Hence, the estimate should not be relied upon. It should  be  noted  that  mineral  resources,  which  are  not mineral reserves, do not have demonstrated economic viability as defined by NI 43-101 .

Traction Uranium and UGreenco Energy Announce Option Agreement for Key Lake South Property

Vancouver, BC – August 16, 2022 – Traction Uranium Corp. (CSE: TRAC) (OTC: TRCTF) (FRA: Z1K) (the “Company” or “Traction”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a property option agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with UGreenco Energy Corp. (the “Vendor”) dated August 15th, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), pursuant to which the Company has been granted the right to acquire up to a 75% interest in and to the Key Lake South Property, which consists of a series of mineral disposition parcels located in Athabasca Basin, Northern Saskatchewan, Canada (the “Property”).

 

The Key Lake South Uranium Project is located approximately 6 kilometers to the southwest of the Key Lake uranium mill and in close vicinity to modern uranium mining facilities and highway transportation in northern Saskatchewan. Geologically, it sits at the southeastern edge of the Proterozoic Athabasca Basin – home of the world’s largest and highest grade uranium deposits and operations. Recent discovery of Tripple R and Arrow deposits has demonstrated further potential of high-grade uranium at the edge of the basin.

 

Figure 1:

 

 

Lester Esteban, Chief Executive Officer, stated “An extraordinary uranium anomaly was outlined in the early 70’s known as the “Hot” Island and was believed to be transported from a source in the northeast, which led to the discovery of the Key Lake uranium deposit, the world’s largest high-grade uranium deposit mined with open-pit producing a total of 209.8 million pounds of uranium at the average grade of 2.32% U3O8 between 1983 and 2002. Advanced airborne geophysical surveys from both government and industry during the 2000’s depict a coincidence between this surface anomaly and underlying structures supporting a thesis that this anomaly is in-situ controlled by structures rather than erratically transported by glacier. Since the discovery of the Key Lake deposit, this area has been underexplored and we are looking forward to getting to work to unlock its potential for an unconformity-type uranium deposit.”

 

Terms of the Option Agreement:

 

In consideration for a series of cash and share payments and the incurring of exploration expenditures, separated into two phases.

 

Phase One

 

In phase one, the Company shall be entitled to acquire a 51% interest in and to the Property by:

  • paying an additional $200,000 in cash to the Vendor on or before December 31, 2023;

 

  • paying an additional $750,000 in cash to the Vendor on or before December 31, 2024;

 

  • issuing, within sixty (60) days following the Effective Date, such number common shares in the capital of the Company (the “Shares”) to the Vendor as is equal to $100,000 equity converted on the date of issuance at the market price of the Shares trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”);

 

  • issuing, on or before December 31, 2023, such number of additional Shares to the Vendor as is equal to $200,000 converted on the date of issuance at the market price of the Shares trading on the CSE;

 

  • issuing, on or before December 31, 2024, such number of additional Shares to the Vendor as is equal to $750,000 converted on the date of issuance at the market price of the Shares trading on the CSE;

 

  • incurring, on or before December 31, 2022, $150,000 worth of exploration expenditures on the Property;

 

  • on or before December 31, 2023, either (1) completing 2,000 metres of diamond drilling on the Property or (2) incurring an additional $1,500,000 worth of exploration expenditures on the Property; and

 

  • on or before December 31, 2024, either (1) completing an additional 7,500 metres of diamond drilling on the Property or (2) incurring an additional $6,500,000 worth of exploration expenditures on the Property.

 

Phase Two

 

Upon completion of phase one, the Company shall be entitled to acquire an additional 24%  interest in and to the Property, for a total interest of 75%, by:

 

  • paying an additional $750,000 in cash to the Vendor on or before December 31, 2025;

 

  • issuing, on or before December 31, 2025, such number of additional Shares to the Vendor as is equal to $750,000 converted on the date of issuance at the market price of the Shares trading on the CSE; and

 

  • on or before December 31, 2025, either (1) completing an additional 7,500 metres of diamond drilling on the Property or (2) incurring an additional $6,500,000 worth of exploration expenditures on the Property.

 

Upon satisfaction of  phase two and commencement of commercial production on the Property, the Company will grant the Vendor a net smelter returns royalty totaling two percent (2%) on commercial production from the Property (the “NSR Royalty”), with the Company retaining the right to buy back from the Vendor one percent (1%) of the NSR Royalty for $2,000,000.

Traction Uranium Expands Technical Research Team and Commences Summer Follow Up Program to Examine Radiation-Induced Quartz Degradation with Hearty Bay Core Samples

Vancouver, BC – July 20, 2022 – Traction Uranium Corp.  (CSE: TRAC) (OTC: TRCTF) (FRA: Z1K) (the “Company” or “Traction”), a mineral exploration issuer focusing on the development of discovery prospects in Canada,  including its two flagship uranium projects in the world-renowned Athabasca Region, is pleased to welcome Ayetullah Tunc and Reza Deevsalar to Traction’s research team under the guidance of Dr. Yuanming Pan (Technical Advisor to Traction see June 7, 2022 News Release) and commencement of the summer follow up program utilizing Dr. Yuanming Pan’s innovative uranium vectoring technique he pioneered (see Traction July 6th, 2022 News Release).

 

Ayetullah Tunc is an M.Sc. student under the supervision of Dr. Yuanming Pan in Geological Sciences at the University of Saskatchewan. He is a dedicated exploration geologist and geologic mapper with a strong focus on unconformity-related uranium deposits in the Canadian Athabasca Basin, and phosphate-hosted uranium and thorium deposits, Turkey. Ayetullah’s research focuses on using synchrotron X-ray techniques (XANES-XRF) and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) for investigating ore systems with applications in mineral exploration. Ayetullah has performed on-site monitoring of well drilling operations along with surveying and mapping the site layout along with the geologic features associated with uranium mineralization as a field and well-site geologist for the General Directorate of Mineral Research and Exploration, Turkey (2018-2019).

 

Reza Deevsalar earned his Ph.D degree in petrology and geochemistry of magmatic systems from the Tarbiat Modares University, Tehran, Iran in 2015. In addition to his academic activities in multiple fields, including petrology, geochemistry and isotope geochemistry of magmatic systems, gemology, and magmatic-geothermal systems, Reza has contributed to several mineral exploration programs across Iran (mainly on gold, copper, iron deposits, and associated ore minerals), as a field and exploration geologist from 2009-2017. The most interesting part of geology research to Reza is the application of state-of-the-art analytical techniques and innovative approaches in the production of new data to consolidate and support the underground and surficial geological datasets in the creation of effective mineral prospecting and exploration models. After 4.5 years of doing research in the fields of geochemistry, radiogenic isotopes, and geochronology (Sep 2017 – Mar 2021) at the University of the Ryukyus (Okinawa, Japan), Reza started working on synchrotron-based research projects and EPR-CL-assisted U-exploration with Dr. Yuanming Pan’s research team at the UofS.

 

Lester Esteban, Chief Executive Officer, stated “We are pleased to welcome Dr. Yuanming Pan’s research team to our group and are excited to integrate both Ayetullah and Reza into our summer follow up programs at both Hearty Bay and Lazy Edwards. Ayetullah and Reza will be joining Fission 3.0’s team in mobilizing to Fond Du Lac this week to commence the summer follow up program executing Dr. Yuanming Pan’s vectoring technique by systematically sampling drill cores from the Hearty Bay drill program we completed in April. Results from examining quartz degradation will allow our team to refine drill targets and improve accuracy by focusing our efforts in the right areas, therefore maximizing dollars in the ground for our investors.”

Traction Uranium Collaborates with SRC in Exploring the use of their In-Situ Recovery Technology at its Properties

Vancouver, BC – July 12, 2022 – Traction Uranium Corp. (CSE: TRAC) (OTCQB: TRCTF) ( FRA: Z1K ) (the “Company” or “Traction”) , a mineral exploration issuer focusing on the development of discovery prospects in Canada, including its two flagship uranium projects in the world-renowned Athabasca Region, is pleased to execute a Master Service Agreement with the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) in exploring ISR (in-situ recovery) uranium extraction projects to utilize their core flooding machine post discovery.

 

SRC is Canada’s second largest research and technology organization. With 350 employees, $137 million in annual revenue and 75 years of experience, SRC provides services and products to its 1,500 clients in 27 countries around the world.

 

Lester Esteban, Chief Executive Officer, stated “SRC has been synonymous with mining in Saskatchewan and around the world for a very long time. Their knowledge and proficiency around mining and uranium is unrivaled and supports our pillars of exploration and expansion being supported by experience and expertise. Conventional mining involves removing mineralized rock from the ground, grinding, sorting and separating out what we want from what we don’t. Solution mining otherwise known as ISL (in-situ leaching) or ISR (in-situ recovery) leaves the ore where it is in the ground, recovery is done by dissolving the minerals we want from the ore and pumping up the pregnant solution to the surface where we can recover it resulting in little disturbance and no tailings or waste rock generated. This provides low capital costs relative to conventional mining providing Traction a key technological partner post discovery and supports our plans for adding more properties in North America.”

 

Technological Overview:

 

The uranium in-situ recovery process is proposed to mine deposits that are difficult to justify mine development due to either not enough uranium or too high of radiation. The technology can potentially utilize drilling and cracking to create passage for the lixiviant through the ore body to extract the uranium in-situ potentially utilizing the current freezing technology used at Cameco’s Cigar Lake to encapsulate the orebody for the in-situ recovery.

 

The apparatus at SRC is called the Core Flooding Machine. It can stimulate the overburden pressure and pumping pressure during recovery. It uses drill cores and the evolution of permeability and uranium extraction as a function of time and amount of injection lixiviant are recorded and monitored.

Traction Uranium and Fission 3.0 Drilling Continues to Intersect Additional Anomalous Radioactivity at Lazy Edward Bay

Elevated Levels of Radiation is a Possible Indicator of Uranium Mineralisation which will be Confirmed when the Assays are Received

 

Vancouver BC – June 14, 2022 – Traction Uranium Corp.  (CSE: TRAC) (OTC: TRCTF) (FRA: Z1K) (the “Company” or “Traction”)a mineral exploration issuer focusing on the development of discovery prospects in Canada, including its two flagship uranium projects in the world-renowned Athabasca Region and Fission 3.0 Corp. (“Fission 3”), are pleased to provide the following update of the drilling at the Lazy Edward Bay project in the SE Athabasca Basin region which commenced on May 17, 2022. Drilling on the Horse West conductor has encountered anomalous radioactivity in drill hole LEB22-007 in proximity to an 11.7m-wide basement fault with intense clay and chlorite alteration approximately 10m further down hole. Drilling is currently targeting this significant structure up dip at the unconformity.

 

Highlights:

  • Drilling continues to encounter favorable structure, alteration and anomalous radioactivity in the vicinity of historic hole LE-73 on the West Horse conductor
  • LEB22-004 encountered anomalous radioactivity near the sandstone-basement unconformity at 164.6m associated with a reverse fault (see May 31, 2022 release)
  • LEB22-007 encountered elevated radioactivity in the lower sandstone of 380cps on the handheld spectrometer at 169.75 m, corresponding on the downhole gamma probe with increased radioactivity >500 cps from 168.5 m to 169.5 m with a maximum of 1177 counts as well as from 171 m to 171.5 m with a maximum of 1063 cps.
  • The unconformity was intersected at 173m and the large fault zone was intersected from 178.4 m and continued to 190.1m.
  • Additional drill targets have been defined along the Western Horse Corridor from a re-interpretation of an airborne VTEM survey to be added to the program.
  • Favorable structure, alteration along with elevated levels of radiation are key indicators for identifying unconformity type, high grade uranium deposits typical in the basin.

 

Hole LEB22-008 is in progress to test an 11.7m-wide extremely clay and chlorite altered basement structure along with proximal anomalous radioactivity intersected in hole LEB22-007 up-dip where it intersects the unconformity which is the 6th hole in the immediate vicinity of historic hole LE-73 along the western Horse Conductor. Hole LEB-007 targeted the same structure approximately 50m along strike to the north.

 

Lester Esteban, Chief Executive Officer, states “Our drill program at Lazy Edward Bay is exceeding our expectations, by optimizing logistics our team was able to re-allocate the cost savings towards drilling. We are hoping to drill more holes than planned and finish above 3000m rather than the original target of 8 holes for 2000m. This allows us to pursue mineralisation on further good looking geophysical targets along the western Horse Conductor prior to wrapping up the program within the next couple weeks.”

 

Natural gamma radiation in the drill core that is reported in this news release was measured in counts per second (cps) using a handheld Radiation Solutions RS-125 scintillometer. Natural gamma radiation in the drill hole surveys that are reported in this news release was measured in counts per second (cps) using a Mount Sopris Instruments QL40-GRA borehole gamma probe. The reader is cautioned that scintillometer readings are not directly or uniformly related to uranium grades of the rock sample measured and should be used only as a preliminary indication of the presence of radioactive materials. All intersections are down-hole. All depths reported of core interval measurements of radioactivity are not always representative of true thickness.

 

About the Property

 

The Lazy Edward Bay property is located halfway between Cameco’s Key Lake Mine and the high-grade Centennial uranium deposit, and hosts NE-trending conductive corridors similar to those associated with Key Lake and Centennial. The major uranium deposits in the eastern Athabasca Basin, including Key Lake, McArthur River and Cigar Lake, are along the NE-trending Wollaston-Mudjatik transition zone and conductive corridor.

Traction Uranium welcomes Dr. Yuanming Pan Esteemed Professor and Research Scientist at the University of Saskatchewan to their Technical Advisory Committee

Vancouver BC – June 7, 2022 – Traction Uranium Corp. (CSE: TRAC) (OTC: TRCTF) (FRA: Z1K) (the “Company” or “Traction”) , a mineral exploration issuer focusing on the development of discovery prospects in Canada, including its two flagship uranium projects in the world-renowned Athabasca Region, is pleased to announce effective June 1st, 2022 esteemed University of Saskatchewan (“UofS”) Professor and research scientist Dr. Yuanming Pan to their Technical Advisory Committee.

 

Dr. Yuanming Pan obtained his PhD degree from the University of Western Ontario in 1990 and has served on the faculty at the University of Saskatchewan since 1993. Pan’s research spans from mineralogy to economic geology, environmental mineralogy, and geochemistry, with extensive experience in diverse mineral commodities from gold to graphite, lithium, rare earth elements, and uranium. Pan’s research group developed the technique of using alpha-particles-induced defects in quartz for the exploration of uranium deposits.

 

Lester Esteban, Chief Executive Officer, stated “For almost 30 years, many geologists in the field today that graduated from the UofS have had to pass through Dr. Pan. I’ve been following Dr. Pan’s research work for quite some time. His method started from research on the Key Lake and McArthur river mines and has been applied to the Maw Zone, the Phoenix Deposit and the Arrow Deposit. The novel uranium exploration technique he pioneered looking at radiation-induced defects in quartz as a new vector for uranium exploration will undoubtedly bolster our efforts in ground delivering on our properties. I’m excited to have Dr. Pan on our Technical Advisory Committee and having his research team collaborating with our exploration team in bringing us closer to making that next great uranium discovery.”

Traction Uranium and Fission 3.0 Drilling Intersects Anomalous Radioactivity at Lazy Edward Bay

Vancouver BC – June 1, 2022 – Traction Uranium Corp. (OTCQB: TRCTF) (CSE: TRAC) (FRA: Z1K) (the “Company” or “Traction”) and Fission 3.0 Corp. (“Fission 3”) are pleased to provide an update of the drilling at the Lazy Edward Bay project in the SE Athabasca Basin region which commenced on May 17, 2022. Drilling on the Horse West conductor has encountered anomalous radioactivity in drill hole LEB22-004 near the sandstone-basement unconformity at 164.6 m associated with a reverse fault.

 

Hole LEB22-004 is the fourth hole to be completed during the ongoing summer drilling program and intersected elevated radioactivity associated with a reverse fault at the unconformity from 163.50 to 164.0 m with a maximum of 430 cps, measured on the drill core with a handheld Radiation Solutions RS-125 scintillometer. This corresponds with a peak of 1320 cps on the borehole gamma probe within a 1.6m interval from 162.56 m to 164.16 m greater than 500 cps. These results confirm what has been reported by Uranerz Exploration and Mining Limited in historic drill hole LE-73 drilled in 1989. Geochemical analyses by Uranerz showed that the radiometric anomalies encountered in LE-73 near the unconformity were predominantly caused by high thorium contents, but they were also accompanied with elevated uranium values (170.4 m to 170.6 m of 40 ppm U and 733 ppm Th).

 

Follow up hole LEB-005 down dip of this intersection is in progress to test the footwall where the reverse fault intersects the basement, which is a similar setting to the occurrence of the McArthur River uranium mine.

 

Natural gamma radiation in the drill core that is reported in this news release was measured in counts per second (cps) using a handheld Radiation Solutions RS-125 scintillometer. Natural gamma radiation in the drill hole surveys that are reported in this news release was measured in counts per second (cps) using a Mount Sopris Instruments QL40-GRA borehole gamma probe. The reader is cautioned that scintillometer readings are not directly or uniformly related to uranium grades of the rock sample measured and should be used only as a preliminary indication of the presence of radioactive materials.

Traction Uranium announces mobilization of drill rig to Lazy Edward Bay property and commencement of 2022 summer drilling program

The Program includes 8 diamond drill holes totaling 2,000m along section, and along strike from encouraging historic drill results that returned higher than normal concentrations of uranium in the sandstones just above the basement rock

 

Vancouver BC – May 17, 2022 – Traction Uranium Corp.  (the “Company” or “Traction”) (CSE: TRAC) (OTCQB: TRCTF) (FRA: Z1K), a mineral exploration issuer focusing on the development of discovery prospects in Canada, including its two flagship uranium projects in the world-renowned Athabasca Region, is pleased to announce that mobilization is underway for the Lazy Edward Bay summer drilling program. Located near the southern edge of the Athabasca Basin, the targets are at relatively shallow depths, with the Athabasca sandstone ranging to depths of approximately150 m where present.

 

Fission 3.0 Corp. (“Fission 3’) will conduct the work program in accordance with the terms of the Option Agreement between Traction and Fission 3, whereby Traction can acquire up to a 70% interest in the Lazy Edward Bay property. (see Dec 10, 2021 Traction news release.)

 

Historic work at Lazy Edward Bay has identified prospective geology with a number of favourable indicators for uranium mineralization. The two main NE -trending conductive corridors on the property are referred to as the western Horse Trend and the eastern Liberty Trend. The western portion of the property captures most of the conductive Horse Trend, along with historic drill holes LE-72 and LE-73 that were drilled by Uranerz Exploration and Mining Limited in the 1980’s. Drill hole LE-72 is reported to have intersected strongly altered basement rocks returning up to 170 ppm uranium in a brecciated and sheared basement structure. LE-73 reported strongly bleached and fractured, in part limonitized, sandstone throughout its entire length with entirely clay-filled fault gouges in the lower part of the sandstone with up to 550 ppm boron, underlain by strongly clay altered, faulted and graphitic basement rocks with up to 40 ppm uranium and 420 ppm boron. Claims in the eastern portion of the property cover part of the conductive Liberty Trend, where nearby historic drill hole LE-001 was reported to intersect 224 ppm U3O8 over 0.5 m. Traction summer drilling is planned along section, and along strike from these encouraging historic drilling results.

 

Lester Esteban, Chief Executive Officer, stated “We are really looking forward to ground delivering on our $1.5M program at Lazy Edward Bay. Past historical drill work returned many geological anomalies such as elevated levels of uranium and boron along with strongly altered basement rocks which represent a number of favorable indicators for uranium mineralization. The program is helicopter supported and plenty of pre-planning work was needed to be done ahead of mobilization. I commend our team in getting everything in place ahead of time and on schedule for our maiden drill program at Lazy Edward Bay.”

HEARTY BAY

  • Located in the northwest side of the Athabasca Basin in the Beaverlodge /Uranium City district, Hearty Bay hosts a U3O8 boulder-field where glaciation has transported high-grade uranium from a nearby source.
  • Initial interpretation of a 2019 marine seismic survey defined 3 fault intersections that represent drill targets which may be associated with the source of the U3O8 boulder trains.
  • Next steps are to complete the detailed interpretation of the 2019 marine seismic data and to fly a high-resolution mag/radiometric airborne survey. The aim is to prioritize the seismic targets for drill testing and to try to locate additional mineralized boulders

 

LAZY EDWARD BAY

  • Lazy Edward Bay is made up of 11 claims totaling 1,828 ha.
  • It is located in the south-eastern margin of the Athabasca Basin, halfway between the historic Key Lake Mine and Cameco’s Centennial deposit. The Key Lake operation, ~50km to the east, was one of the largest and most significant uranium deposits in the Athabasca Basin.
  • Historic drilling intersected sandstone and basement rocks with strongly altered, bleached, brecciated and sheared basement rocks which are some of the key indicators for nearby high-grade uranium.
  • The next step is to drill test the high-ranking shallow drill targets (less than 150m deep)
  • Near the edge of the basin, the depth of targets at Lazy Edward Bay are shallow, giving a huge advantage of inexpensive exploration.
  • There is high potential for a near surface, high-grade uranium discovery.
