Project Summary:
The newly staked Rover Project consists of a single claim totalling approximately 792 hectares located approximately 40 kilometres east of Cameco’s McArthur River Mine, 31 kilometers southeast of Cigar Lake Mine, and 68 kilometers west of the community of Wollaston Lake. Historical exploration extended over a long-time span, from the late 1960s through the early 1990s, with most of the work being completed in the 1970s. The property is located within the Athabasca Basin and is underlain by a shallow cover of Athabasca Group Sandstones, which in turn overly the Paleoproterozoic metasedimentary rocks of the Wollaston Supergroup.
Rover Project Map:
In 1994, Cameco conducted two ground prospectivity surveys on the property, targeting Pb-Zn-Ni anomalies. More recent work included airborne geophysics (VTEM and Horizontal Magnetic Gradiometer surveys) conducted by Phalanx Disposition Ltd on behalf of Athabasca Uranium Inc. in 2013. In addition, Abasca Minerals and Athabasca Uranium completed a 455 line-kilometer HeliFALCON Gravity survey over 2 grids on the property. One drill hole (4675-001-79) was completed on the property in 1979, intersecting 133.7 m of Athabasca sandstone, with a total depth of 151.5 m. Aside from this single hole, the property remains largely untested by diamond drilling.
