- A big pattern of structural disruption within the Athabasca sandstone generally known as the Jigsaw Zone was found. The construction is uncovered at floor as quartz veining and native quartz-breccia in ample angular boulders (i.e., not far-traveled by glacial motion), sub-crop and outcrop of sandstone and may be traced over a pattern roughly 150 metres lengthy by 15 metres extensive. The Jigsaw Zone is open alongside strike to northeast and southwest and disappears below cowl in each instructions.
- A pattern of elevated radioactivity in boulders in potential outcrop or sub-crop was positioned 15 metres to the south of Jigsaw Zone and is presumed to be a historic uranium-phosphate displaying first reported in 1979. Two small pits (“West” and “East”) had been hand dug by ALX to raised expose the radioactive sources. Scintillometer readings of as much as 550 counts per second (“cps”) and 250 cps had been obtained from inside the underside of the West and East pits, respectively (10 to twenty instances background radiation ranges).

The elevated radioactivity within the West and East pits is related to darkish purple to crimson sandstone with bleached patches and native spots of a really pale greenish alteration. Samples on the West Pit could also be related to frost-heaved sub-crop or a really giant boulder. ALX considers the radioactive sandstone discovered on the Jigsaw Zone extremely vital, contemplating the depth to basement is estimated to be at the least 300 metres, which suggests the prevalence of a major hydrothermal occasion that carried silica-rich and uranium-bearing fluids to floor.
4 samples of the quartz vein and quartz-breccia sandstone from the Jigsaw Zone and 4 radioactive samples from the West and East pits adjoining to the Jigsaw Zone had been submitted to the Saskatchewan Analysis Geoanalytical Labs in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan for a full suite of geochemical analyses. As well as, sub-samples had been submitted for short-wave infrared spectroscopy (SWIR) analyses to find out the clay signature of the samples. Outcomes might be launched after their receipt, compilation and interpretation.
Further work at Sabre in 2023 could embody airborne magnetic/radiometric surveys, airborne electromagnetic surveys, floor prospecting, mapping and Spatiotemporal Geochemical Hydrocarbon (“SGH”) soil surveys throughout the highest-priority areas to optimize potential drill targets.
About Sabre
Sabre is positioned alongside the northern margin of the Athabasca Basin, a dominantly sandstone-infilled basin which unconformably overlies crystalline basement rocks of the Tantato Area of the Canadian Defend in northern Saskatchewan. The Athabasca Basin space is a fertile uranium district that hosts the world’s highest-grade uranium mines, with over 900 million kilos of U3O8 produced since mining started in on the Nicholson Mine in 1949.
The Mission is located inside the Snowbird Tectonic Zone (“STZ”), a serious regional geological construction, and contains a number of parallel northeast-trending fault zones, in addition to cross-cutting buildings. Quite a few historic uranium showings are discovered inside the STZ, such because the Nisto Mine, Black Lake, and the Fond du Lac Uranium Deposit.
The Fond du Lac Uranium Deposit, positioned roughly 15 kilometres west of the centre of Sabre, was found in 1970 by Camok Ltd., a predecessor firm of Orano Canada Ltd., after tracing radioactive boulders to their supply space and grid drilling. A shallow historic useful resource was calculated in 1970 of 990,000 kilos of U3O8 (450,000 kilograms) at a median grade of 0.25% however was by no means superior additional (Supply: Saskatchewan Mineral Deposits Index, Mineral Property #1572. This historic useful resource just isn’t essentially indicative of the mineralization current at Sabre, neither is compliant with the requirements of Nationwide Instrument 43-101 and has not been verified by ALX’s Certified Individual. It’s included for data functions solely.) Uranium mineralization on the Fond du Lac deposit is described as a “high-grade” central core (>0.06% and as much as 5% U3O8) and a diffuse “low-grade” aureole with 0.02% to 0.06% U3O8 (Homeniuk, Clark and Bonnar, 1982).
In 1978-1980, radioactive sandstone boulders had been found at Sabre by Marline Oil, which led to further prospecting, floor geophysics, rock sampling, and biogeochemical sampling over the three exploration years, however no drill holes had been accomplished1. In 2006, UEX Company focused an airborne conductor with drill gap MNL-02, which intersected intense dravite alteration within the sandstone column2. Dravite is usually related to hydrothermal alteration within the Athabasca Basin and may be present in shut proximity to unconformity-type uranium mineralization.

The technical data on this information launch has been reviewed and accredited by Robert Campbell, P.Geo., who’s a Certified Individual in accordance with the Canadian regulatory necessities set out in Nationwide Instrument 43-101.
Historic geochemical outcomes and geological descriptions quoted on this information launch had been taken immediately from evaluation work filings printed by the Authorities of Saskatchewan. Administration cautions that historic outcomes had been collected and reported by previous operators and haven’t been verified nor confirmed by its Certified Individual, however create a scientific foundation for ongoing work within the Sabre challenge space. Administration additional cautions that historic outcomes or discoveries on adjoining or close by mineral properties are usually not essentially indicative of the outcomes that could be achieved on ALX’s mineral properties.
