5 Drill Ready Targets Identified
About Russell South
The 100% owned Russell Lake Project is located near the south-central edge of the Athabasca Basin covering an area of 13,320 hectares, within a favourable geologic area since it’s close to the southern edge of the Athabasca Basin that has relatively shallow drill targets and nearby uranium deposition.
The project adjoins Cameco’s Key Lake project on which the Key Lake Mine produced over 200 million pounds of uranium at a grade averaging 2.3% U3O8 between 1983 and 1997. In addition, the project adjoins the Moore Lake Project owned by Skyharbour Resources Ltd. with their high-grade Maverick Zone and Rio Tinto’s Russell Lake Project to the west and south.
Five target areas have now been identified at the project. The four eastern targets are based on the recent results from the airborne geophysical survey. The target zones are coincident airborne gravity low and magnetic low responses, interpreted as favourable rock types and/or alteration zones, that are proximal to north-northwest trending structures. The western Treleaven target area hosts historic coincident geochemical anomalies possibly related to a dilational zone lying between the interpreted north-south faults.
