Geikie
Strategically located in proximity to recent high grade, shallow uranium discoveries.
Tenure
- 339km2 landholding located 7km southeast of the present edge of the Athabasca Basin and 10km west of highway 905
- Adjacent tenure to 92 Energy’s (ASX:92E) Gemini discovery 43m @ 0.6% U3O8 incl 6m @ 2.2% U3O8** and Baselode Energy’s (TSXV:FIND) ACKIO discovery 31.0m @ 0.9% U3O8 **
History
- Historical airborne and ground exploration completed between 1967 and 1980 targeting base metal mineralisation
- A central trend was identified with Cu and Mo showings surrounding Mud Lake; Mo is a key identifier for potential U3O8 mineralisation
- Several historical uranium showings occur on the property with grades as high as 0.225% U3O8 and 0.18% U3O8 .
Main Features
- Recently discovered uranium mineralisation in the area display alteration patterns typical of unconformity uranium deposits, enhancing the overall uranium potential of Geikie.
- Six uranium targets have been identified along 35km of major structures outlined by coincident magnetic breaks and prospective geology offsets.
