The Company's Fort McLeod property is located in SouthWestern Alberta. The property totals approximately 900,000 acres (364,218 ha). The part of the western sedimentary basin covering southwestern Alberta is host to a number of uranium occurrences and showings, primarily hosted within the sandstones of the Tertiary Willow Creek formation.
Other prospective Upper Cretaceous to Tertiary sandstones found within the region include the Brazeau, Porcupine Hills and Paskapoo formations. Historical exploration during the 1980's identified a number of sandstone hosted roll-front uranium occurrences within the region. Grab samples from a roll-front uranium occurrence, exposed along the Waterton River near Fort McLeod, returned up to 2,000 ppm or .2% U308.

Grab samples from a roll-front uranium occurrence, exposed along the Waterton River near Fort McLeod, returned up to 2,000 ppm or .2% U308.
Exploration in other parts of the region reportedly returned a number of grab samples in excess of .5% U308. Within the Company's Fort McLeod property, at least two distinct trends of anomalous radioactivity were identified from gamma ray logs from oil and gas wells. Most of the anomalous intervals were found in the Willow Creek or Paskapoo formations.
Given the size of the Fort McLeod property and known uranium mineralization, the Company is optimistic that its extensive land holdings within the region are potentially host to a number of sandstone, roll-front style uranium occurrences. This type of uranium deposit is typically irregular in shape and can vary from thin pods to mineralized bodies that can be thousands of meters in length. The geology is analogous to the Wyoming sandstone occurrences.
