Preparing Southern Targets for Exploration
About Celeste Block
IsoEnergy and Purepoint Uranium formed a 50 – 50% Joint Venture covering over 98,000 hectares in the eastern Athabasca Basin. The Joint Venture consolidates 10 high-valued uranium projects into three distinctive areas in Saskatchewan’s eastern Athabasca Basin: the Dorado Project, the Aurora Project and the Celeste Block.
The Celeste Block incorporates Thorburn, North Thorburn, Madison and 2Z properties, which cover portions of conductor trends east of the Cigar Lake Mine and southwest of the Rabbit Lake and McClean Lake mines. Target depth is relatively shallow as sandstone thickness ranges between 60 metres at Madison in the east to 350 metres at Thorburn in the west.
Near-term efforts will focus on drill testing recent geophysical results at Madison where sandstone cover is thin, and limited historical drilling has been completed, with just one hole drilled since 1989.
Approximately 800 metres in 4 drill holes are planned for 2025.
