Cree West

  Cree West May 2008

Location

The Cree West project is composed of 4 claims in two groups on the north side of Cree Lake. They are 25 km from the edge of the Athabasca Basin and 66 km north west of Key Lake. 

Geology

The claims lie on the Cable Bay Shear Zone which is a major boundary between the Lower Proterozoic (Trans-Hudson) Mudjatik and Virgin River domains. The Mudjatik domain is composed of felsic granitoids and minor supercrustals, while the Virgin River is composed of metamorphosed sediments and greenstones on a granitoid basement. The Shear Zone itself is a lineament with a strong magnetic signature. Both of these domains are overlain by 400 -- 600 metres of Athabasca sandstone and conglomerates in the project area.

Exploration

There has been limited exploration in the past by Uranerz and PNC exploration, including boulder prospecting, lake sediment geochemistry, geophysics, and basement geology interpretation. 

NEWS SUMMARY

Jan 22, 2008 : CanAlaska Uranium and Westcan Uranium to Commence Drilling Key Lake and Cree West Projects (more...)

These efforts located conductors and anomalous Uranium in boulder trains. CanAlaska has carried out airborne geophysical surveys using VTEM technology, as well as ground AMT surveys over the more interesting conductive zones. Surface work has included boulder sampling and lake bottom surveys. 

There are several targets ready for additional geophysical definition and drill testing.

Potential

The claims cover a prominent NE-SW trending linear feature which has been explored by drilling on adjacent ground still held by Cogema. This could represent a fault that is potentially mineralized where it intersects the unconformity. Deep penetrating airborne EM can detect graphitic and/or intensely altered zones along this structure. To the west, both the Black Lake and Virgin River uranium discoveries, located on the Virgin River -- Black Lake shear zone, indicate the fertility of this type of geological environment.
