Duddridge Lake, SK
Property Description
The Duddridge Lake Property includes 6 minerals claims totalling 12,954 hectares. The property is situated along the eastern margins of the Wollaston Basement Domain, which underlies a number of significant uranium occurrences in the eastern part of the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan. These include some of the richest uranium deposits known worldwide, including: Key Lake, Millennium, McArthur River, Cigar Lake, Midwest Lake and Eagle Point. The McArthur River, Millennium and Eagle Point uranium deposits contain significant amounts of 'basement-hosted' uranium mineralization similar to Duddridge Lake. In 1974-75, Noranda Exploration began an exploration drill program and completed more than 30 holes at Duddridge Lake.
Exploration to Date
A VTEM airborne survey was conducted in 2006, followed by basal till sampling, surface sampling and mapping programs. In 2007, Fission completed a NI 43-101 compliant resource calculation for the Duddridge Lake Uranium Deposit. It identified an inferred mineral resource totalling approximately 460,000 lbs, based on 215,016 tonnes at an average grade of 0.107% U3O8, (Fraser 2007).
In 2008, a first phase 660m drill program confirmed previous historic drilling results and the shallow nature of the Duddridge Lake mineralization. Further drilling will be necessary in order to expand the current resource as well as test the deposits extensions to the north and at depth.
