ESO has contracted Canada-ased Aggressive Drilling to conduct a ten-hole, 1,000meter drill program that is expected to be completed by mid-December.
The initial drill locations were selected targeting the shallow basement mineralization along the down-ice flanks of resistivity targets, close to areas of apparent crosscutting structures.
The target area is within a defined window of Archean rocks that are buried by 50meter to 60 meter of till cover.
The drilling program is targeting high-grade uranium deposits hosted in basement rocks, similar to those deposits found in the lower parts of the Shea Creek, Millenium, Key Lake and Roughrider deposits.
