Location
The
project is located on the southern shore of Lake Athabasca, 12 km west of
Fond du Lac on the central northern edge of the Athabasca basin.
Geology
The
project area lies within the Athabasca group sandstones and conglomerates
which in turn overlie the Archean- Lower Proterozoic, Beaverlodge domain,
host to many rich vein-shear Uranium deposits. In the southern half of the
project area, there is a major structure known as the Grease River fault
zone. Depths to unconformity range from 200 metres in the north to over
500 metres in the center of the property and over 794 metres in the south
directly outside the project area.
Exploration
The
project has been explored by Shell and Famok during the 1970's and early
1980's, when numerous geophysical and geochemical surveys were
performed. During this time, two uraniferous boulder trains were located
within the project area with grades of 2.4% and 2.2% U3O8.
CanAlaska has used GIS in compiling these existing historical datasets and
has assimilated them to create a powerful exploration tool. |
