100% Uravan – staked in December 2009.
Project area located along the NE extension of the Cable Bay structural corridor, and east of Pasfield Lake, Athabasca Basin.
Surface geochemical program completed in July 2010, resulting in 2027 samples collect from three surface media: B/C horizon soils, spruce/pine vegetation and tree-cores
Data analysis identified several anomalous trends, consisting of radiogenic Pb isotopic compositions in soil horizons and tree-cores that correlate with associated pathfinder elements and regional magnetic data.
In 2011 specific surface geochemical targets were tested with seven (7) diamond drill-holes (OR11-01 to OR11-07) totalling 5834 meters drilled (including MATH drill-hole OR11-06)
The OR/MATH reconnaissance drill program was positive and identified a number of key features required for unconformity-related uranium mineralization:
The presence of high radioactivity levels (>400CPS) above and below the unconformity;
Persistent sandstone bleaching/alteration above the unconformity coincident with broad zones of secondary hematite alteration;
The presence of illite clay alteration occurring in some of the drill-holes over varying thicknesses at and above the unconformity;
The presence of major fracturing in the Athabasca Sandstone section; and
The intersection of a major reverse fault in the underlying basement units, suggestive of structural reactivation.
Follow up drilling planned for June 2012
