Overview

  • A historic and proven area
  • Recognised as one of Canada’s largest uranium mining districts
  • Total historical production across the area (pre-1982) was:
  • 13,700,000 pounds of uranium oxide (U3O8)
  • 34,300,000 ounces of refined silver
  • 11,377,040lbs of copper with gold credits, and
  • 127,000 kilograms of nickel, 227,000kg of cobalt and 104,000kg lead
  • Historical focus on U, Ag overlooked significant Cu and Au potential

Geology

  • Great Bear Magmatic Zone – Identified as having Canada’s highest probability for the hosting of iron-oxide-copper-gold uranium plus silver-style mineralisation in the Country
  • Hosts a spectrum of mineralisation styles within the broad IOCG hydrothermal model
  • Epithermal – Ag, Au, Cu, U,
  • Skarn – Ag, Cu, Mo, Pb, Zn, W
  • IOCG – Au, Ag, Co, Cu, +/- U
  • Untapped Potential – Copper and Gold were never the focus of historic exploration work
  • Historic Data – A wealth of data, that until now has never been fully integrated into GIS
