EXPLORING THE LLOYD LAKE URANIUM PROPERTY
PROJECT OVERVIEW
The 6,168 Ha Lloyd Lake Project lies south of the western Athabasca Basin approximately 90 km SE of Fission Uranium’s Patterson Lake project. The Lloyd Lake Project has a significant dataset and was extensively explored by the Western Athabasca Syndicate as part of the Preston Property in 2013. Work by the syndicate involved airborne EM-magnetic and radiometric surveys followed by preliminary prospecting of areas identified in historical assessment reports. This was followed by systematic lake-bottom sediment sampling and lake-bottom water sampling for radon gas analysis, radon gas being a decay product of uranium. Ground exploration included broad soil, biogeochemical and radon-in-soil surveys, generally at 100 m to 200 m sample spacing and 200 m-400 m line spacing. Groundwork was tailored to cover anomalous airborne geophysical features and lake geochemical anomalies derived from phase 2 work. Throughout phases 2 and 3 prospecting and mapping traverses were undertaken as follow-up to airborne radiometric anomalies, and to further ground-truth the airborne responses for the purposes of generating a baseline geological map of the property. The project was also investigated by a versatile time-domain electromagnetic (VTEM plus) and aeromagnetic survey completed by Geotech Ltd., and an airborne radiometric-VLF-EM and magnetic survey completed by Goldak Airborne Surveys.
CURRENT TARGETS
The primary exploration target at Lloyd Lake is an ~8.5km northeast trending zone corresponding to a magnetic break concurrent with an array of parallel EM conductors: a typical exploration signature in the basin. Anomalous radon gas as well as anomalous uranium and gold values in lake sediments, also lie within the target zone.
