VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 27, 2023 – ATHA Energy Corp. (CSE:SASK) (FRA:X5U) (OTCQB:SASKF) (“ATHA” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce results from its large-scale electromagnetic (“EM“) surveys at its 100%-owned North Terra Project and North Pinnacle Project (the “Projects“), located in Saskatchewan’s Athabasca basin, within the Company’s North Rim Exploration District.
These two completed surveys are part of the Company’s maiden 2023 exploration program, which comprises a total of seventeen EM surveys being conducted across the Athabasca Basin on ATHA’s 3.4-million-acre exploration portfolio. The 2023 exploration program is organized into four distinct exploration districts: North Rim District, East Rim District, West Rim District, and Cable Bay District – encompassing numerous producing, past producing, and developing uranium mining camps within the Athabasca Basin. In August of this year, the Company commenced the largest ever multi-platform EM survey in the history of the Athabasca Basin, designed to de-risk and test ATHA’s land package, which is the largest reported land package in the history of the Athabasca Basin and further complimented by ATHA’s 10% carried interests on claims within the Athabasca Basin held by NexGen Energy Ltd. (TSX:NXE) and IsoEnergy Ltd. (TSX–V: ISO).
- Axiom’s XciteTM Heli TDEM survey was successfully deployed at the North Pinnacle and North Terra Projects, with a total of 7,166-line km flown in two blocks;
- Numerous conductors with interpreted cross-cutting structures were identified in both Projects, which are indicative of traps capable of hosting uranium mineralization and in total, 20 km of high-priority conductive lineaments have been identified within the North Terra and North Pinnacle Projects;
- At the North Terra Project, some prospective targets were identified within 20 km in both directions from Fond du Lac, a historical unconformity-type uranium zone discovered along the same structural corridor in the 1970s; and
- Grease River Shear Zone which crosses both of the North Terra and North Pinnacle Projects has a number of identified uranium occurrences, including the Fond du Lac Zone.
Troy Boisjoli, CEO of ATHA commented: “These results are the beginning of what we anticipate to be a very active exploration period for ATHA as we kick off the initial stages of a systematic discovery process across our expansive exploration portfolio. The formation and strategic purpose of ATHA was to be a specific response to the fundamental strength of the uranium cycle we are currently experiencing, and our contention is that in order to provide the greatest probability of exploration success, we need to begin with a targeted exploration program in the highest-grade uranium basin in the world and at significant scale.”
Doug Adams, VP Exploration added: “The immediate results from these surveys identified a structural corridor with localized complexity related to northwest tending structural lineation. The interpreted structural regime is an analog to the Fond du Lac Zone that was discovered in the 1970’s. With that in mind the intersection pattern along the Grease River Shear Zone identifies potential targets for subsequent geophysical or geochemical surveys along the Grease River to the east and west from the known zone.”
Historic exploration at the North Rim began in the early to mid 1900’s with production ending at mines located near Uranium City once the Eldorado mining and milling facility closed in the early 1980’s. Uranium in the Beaverlodge mining district is structurally controlled with mineralization found in vein-filled fractures, breccias, and faults. The North Rim District remains highly prospective and is vastly under explored with modern exploration techniques. Furthermore, mining method innovation, proximity to surface, and the presence of existing infrastructure contribute to the prospectivity of this district.
The North Rim District’s exploration program covers a total of 688,268 acres of 100% ATHA owned claims using a combination of XciteTM, TDEM, ZTEM, MMT, and QMAGt survey types. The objective of the EM program is to identify prospective conductive units such as graphitic sheers and mapping of lithological contacts, which will then be targeted for further investigation. The graphitic sheers are typically formed in pelitic host rock which are known traps for uranium mineralization in the Athabasca Basin.
North Terra and North Pinnacle Projects encompass a large area of the Grease River Shear Zone, a major structural corridor in the North Rim Exploration district. The XciteTM system was able to identify multiple northwest trending structural lineaments along the Grease River Shear Zone that are potentially analogous to the structural controls that define mineralization at the Fond du Lac Zone.
The recently completed EM surveys at North Terra and North Pinnacle Projects, along with the currently ongoing surveys at North Valour, North Summit, North Beacon, and North Crest notably represent the first modern exploration work on the projects in over fifty years.
