Fission uranium inc5/3/2023 ![]() A subsequent airborne radiometric and magnetic survey was instrumental in focussing ground prospecting for radioactive boulders. A review of historical assessment reports (late 1970s) showed strong radon anomalies coincident with EM conductors 3 to 4 km west of the deposit. The initial phase of work leading to the discovery consisted of research. The Millennium and Roughrider deposits showed the basement is not to be ignored. Exploring outside of the basin margins is somewhat unconventional as there is no present unconformity surface, but there may have been in geological history. Cluff Lake is an anomalous occurrence and is located on the Carswell Dome, not within the Athabasca Basin. ![]() The east side of the Athabasca Basin hosts virtually all the major high grade deposits with the exception of Cluff Lake and the deep Shea Creek deposits and now the new deposits in the Patterson Lake Corridor. The sandstone environment is normally highly resistive which makes things ideal for EM detection of weaker graphitic conductors at depth. The Athabasca Basin major uranium deposits and mines (Figure 2) are generally proximal to graphitic conductors (reducing environment) and accompanied by an alteration ‘halo’ which is usually a resistive low, but can also be silicified (resistivity high). The PLS discovery has been previously documented and some content is borrowed from these presentations: 2012 Saskatoon Geological Open House, 2013 Saskatoon Geological Open House and the Fission Web Site. Patterson Lake South (PLS) and Canada’s Athabasca Basin Fission has 100% ownership of the PLS Property, which comprises 17 claims totaling 31,039 ha. Growth is driven by a highly skilled, award-winning technical team and successful entrepreneurial management. It is the only major, high-grade deposit in the region that is potentially open-pittable and is the largest mineralized trend in the region – currently standing at over 3 km in length. The deposit is accessible by all-weather Highway 955 which continues north to the UEX-AREVA Shea Creek deposit and former AREVA Cluff Lake uranium mine (Figure 1). The Triple R deposit on Fission Uranium Corporation’s Patterson Lake South (PLS) property is located in Canada’s Athabasca Basin, home to the world’s richest uranium mines.
