Floor Prospecting Outcomes
GK1 – The GK1 goal space is a big cluster of radiometric anomalies inside a 9 km by 3 km space with a north-easterly development, positioned within the northern quarter of property. A historic electromagnetic survey exists for the western portion of the recognized goal which seems to indicate a robust conductor operating parallel to the anomalous cluster. Two vital northerly trending structural corridors intersect this goal space.
Prospecting outcomes confirmed uranium wealthy granites and pegmatites, with uranium complete values as much as 297 ppm positioned adjoining to metasedimentary rocks appropriate for internet hosting mineralization. Inside these metasedimentary items, reconnaissance rock chip samples present elevated pathfinders aspect concentrations domestically (Ni, V, Zn, Co) in addition to localised enrichments in REE. A radioactive psammite outcrop (as much as 7,200 cps – scintillometer), returned a barely elevated uranium complete worth of 34.6 ppm, molybdenum complete worth of 53.4 ppm, and strongly anomalous lead isotope ratios (207Pb/206Pb=0.14).
Moreover, a robust correlation between metasediment outcrops and magnetic low anomalies from the preliminary airborne magnetics survey present a excessive stage of confidence each within the knowledge obtained from the sooner magnetics survey, and the regional interpretations of the challenge space.
GK2 – The GK2 goal space is without doubt one of the few localities on the challenge with historic prospecting data, with historic seize samples recorded as much as 0.225percentU and 0.18percentU, inside mapped Wollaston calcsilicate rocks. The radiometric knowledge confirmed a north-easterly development of anomalies being crosscut by two regional north north-westerly trending Tabbernor faults, that seem coincident with the historic anomalous rock chips.
The goal space is positioned roughly 10 km alongside strike from drilling accomplished by Baselode Power Corp that recognized basement hosted mineralization at Beckett in first go drilling, and inside a fertile hall of biotite gneiss which hosts the excessive grade (58.0% U3O8) Agip-S uranium prospect .
The bottom prospecting outcomes confirmed the presence of metasedimentary rocks together with calcsilicates with rock samples demonstrating localised elevated choose pathfinder components similar to Co, Cu, Ba, Ni, V. One pattern collected from a radioactive fractured zone in a psammitic outcrop returned uranium complete worth of 122 ppm, molybdenum complete worth of three,250 ppm, and strongly anomalous lead isotope ratios (207Pb/206Pb=0.12). This pattern was collected in shut neighborhood of the Mud Lake displaying. Moreover, a pattern collected from a granitic outcrop positioned roughly 700 m to the north of the Mud Lake displaying returned 0.21% uranium complete.
GK3 and GK4 – The GK3 goal space has a discrete coherent radiometric anomaly, positioned at an interpreted structural complexity. The basement geology seems to be disrupted by a north-westerly trending construction that’s coincident with the anomalous historic uranium seize samples from GK2 to the south. The GK4 goal is a robust coherent radiometric anomaly placing north-easterly and has been mapped as Wollaston calcsilicate rocks.
The bottom prospecting recognized a big esker ridge with no anomalous radioactivity at GK3. The prospecting groups at GK4 recognized granite and metasedimentary outcrops with thorium dominated GRS outcomes. Each prospects have been generally lined by boulder fields.
Subsequent Steps
In collaboration with its accomplice, the Firm is creating a scientific exploration technique for the Geikie challenge.
The subsequent step on this exploration technique is the VTEM Plus survey, which has now commenced. The survey will include 1,399 line-km’s of helicopter-borne surveying at 200 – 400 m line-spacing throughout the Geikie challenge. The survey is being carried out by Geotech Ltd. of Aurora, Ontario and is estimated to be accomplished in two weeks. Last survey outcomes are anticipated early Q1 of 2023.
An airborne gravity gradiometer (AGG) survey is presently deliberate, relying on the outcomes of the VTEM Plus survey, for Q1 of 2023. The mixture of the magnetics, radiometrics, VTEM Plus survey outcomes, and the deliberate AGG survey will information the maiden diamond drilling program for the Geikie challenge, proposed to begin in 2023.
CanAlaska CEO, Cory Belyk, feedback, “Outcomes from the prospecting program spotlight the potential of the Geikie challenge to host uranium mineralization, particularly the place vital structural options work together with the right rocks. The airborne VTEM survey that’s presently being accomplished is a crucial dataset to permit for optimization of gravity surveys and definition of precedence drill targets. Shifting this challenge ahead in a managed step-by-step method will present excellent and prioritized drill targets for the primary drilling packages which are deliberate for 2023.”
Geikie Undertaking Overview
The Geikie Undertaking is positioned simply exterior the japanese margin of the Athabasca Basin throughout the Wollaston Area. The Undertaking space has been topic to minimal exploration for uranium, with most important work focusing on base metals between 1967 and 1980. Throughout this regional work, a collection of mineralized showings have been found within the Mud Lake and Marina areas. The Mud Lake uranium-molybdenum displaying recorded a collection of anomalous rock chips with grades of as much as 0.225% U, 5.2% Mo, and 1.4% Cu. The Marina lead-zinc prospect recorded anomalous mineralization in outcrop of as much as 2.03% Pb, 7.2% Zn and 0.93 oz/t Ag.
The first goal on the Geikie challenge is basement-hosted uranium mineralization the place uranium bearing constructions intersect beneficial intercalated pelitic and calc-silicate host rocks. The Geikie challenge is positioned inside 10 km of latest discoveries of basement-hosted uranium mineralization on the Gemini Mineralized Zone and ACKIO.
