Roughrider Exploration and Kivalliq Energy have unveiled results from the ground magnetometer and very low frequency (VLF) electromagnetic (EM) geophysical and biogeochemical sampling surveys completed at the Jurgen 1 and Jurgen 2 uranium target areas in Canada.
The areas are situated in the western part of the Genesis property on Wellbelove Bay of Wollaston Lake, eastern Athabasca, about 60km along the Wollaston-Mudjatik lithostructural corridor from Cameco’s Eagle Point uranium mine.
Part of the Genesis 2015 winter exploration program, the ground geophysical and biogeochemical grids of the areas were designed to follow-up and tighten spacing on anomalous 2014 soil geochemical results in parallel with northeast trending airborne EM geophysical conductors.
Ground magnetic and VLF-EM surveys were undertaken on two grids over both the areas during March this year.
The companies collected a total of 594 biogeochemical samples on the same survey grids at 25m to 50 m intervals.
Roughrider’s focus is exploring the 200,677ha Genesis uranium project situated in the Wollaston-Mudjatik geological trend extending northeast from Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin.
The company can earn an 85% stake in Genesis from Kivalliq Energy.
