- A big pattern of structural disruption within the Athabasca sandstone often 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 might 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 attainable outcrop or sub-crop was positioned 15 metres to the south of Jigsaw Zone and is presumed to be a historic uranium-phosphate exhibiting first reported in 1979. Two small pits (“West” and “East”) have been hand dug by ALX to higher expose the radioactive sources. Scintillometer readings of as much as 550 counts per second (“cps”) and 250 cps have 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 incidence 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 have been submitted to the Saskatchewan Analysis Geoanalytical Labs in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan for a full suite of geochemical analyses. As well as, sub-samples have been submitted for short-wave infrared spectroscopy (SWIR) analyses to find out the clay signature of the samples. Outcomes will likely 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 Protect 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 Undertaking is located inside the Snowbird Tectonic Zone (“STZ”), a significant regional geological construction, and consists of a number of parallel northeast-trending fault zones, in addition to cross-cutting constructions. 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 mean 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 info 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 have been found at Sabre by Marline Oil, which led to extra prospecting, floor geophysics, rock sampling, and biogeochemical sampling over the three exploration years, however no drill holes have 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 might be present in shut proximity to unconformity-type uranium mineralization.
