The program follows on the positive results from last winter drilling program, which included Hole NWA-63, (39.5m of 0.15% U3O8 including a 0.5m interval grading 1.8% U3O8) drilled on the Otis West target, the company said.
Discovered in 2013 at Otis West, the mineralization is hosted within basement rocks along a major fault (the Otis fault) parallel to the Maurice Bay fault and has a strike length of 50m, a vertical extent of approximately 110m, and remains open to the east and at depth.
The drill program will determine the eastern extent of the mineralization discovered at Otis West as well as its extension on to the Otis East gravity target.
Additionally, the planned drilling will test basement targets identified below the unconformity style Maurice Bay deposit, Zone A and an untested gravity low on the east side and on strike with the Maurice Bay deposit (MB East).
