HIGHLIGHTS
- New ANT survey information has probably imaged the depth and placement of the metasedimentary our bodies that host the mineralization.
- The steep-dipping ore controlling constructions have been imaged by the ANT survey and can assist drastically with concentrating on all through the anomaly each alongside strike but additionally alongside sub-parallel constructions.
- The ANT survey means that potential extra mineralized our bodies to the east-northeast are at comparable depth to the recognized mineralization to this point (
- ANT surveys have been additionally carried out on each the Ned and Bjorn anomalies and are at present being processed with outcomes anticipated by June.
Tatiggaq Deposit
Discussion board drilled 4 holes in 2023 and the primary two holes focused the Tatiggaq Principal space. The target was to drill by means of to primary mineralized zone at a extra optimum angle and present that the mineralization is inside a collection of steep-dipping, high-grade lenses. TAT23-001 was misplaced and TAT23-002 intersected 2.25% U3O8 over 11.1 from 148.5 to 159.6 m (incl. 3.32% U3O8 over 3.1 m). TAT23-003 and TAT23-004 have been drilled alongside pattern to the SW as much as 200 m from TAT23-001/-002. These holes have been designed to infill and develop recognized areas of mineralization at Tatiggaq West. TAT23-003 intersected 0.40% U3O8 over 12.8 m from 136.0 to 148.8 m (incl. 1.08% U3O8 over 1.3 m) and TAT23-004 intersected 0.40% U3O8 over 18.9 m from 151.4 to 170.3 m (incl. 1.01% U3O8 over 6.2 m).
Mineralization inside the Tatiggaq deposit consists of two zones – the Principal and West Zones and is situated at depths between 80 and 180 m. The mineralization is hosted in a collection of high-grade subparallel, steep, south-dipping fault zones that sit inside a 50 m huge space (Determine 2). Particular person high-grade mineralized constructions are as much as 10 m in width. The strike extent of the Principal Zone is a minimum of 60 m however is open to the northeast and the West Zone is now 150 m in strike size and is open to the southwest. Additional delineation is required between the 2 zones to find out if they’re linked. As well as, the complete 0.7 km huge by 1.5 km lengthy Tatiggaq gravity anomaly stays open for extra uranium mineralization each alongside strike of the recognized zones but additionally alongside quite a few sub-parallel fault zones to the north and south.
Ambient Noise Tomography Survey (ANT)
The ANT survey is a passive seismic approach that detects seismic waves by pure sources like ocean wave motion that’s then used to picture the subsurface.
In 2023, Patterson Geophysics Inc. (PGI) was contracted to deploy and recuperate a complete of 475 seismic 1D Nodular Recording Items (NRUs) over the Tatiggaq (Determine 3), Ned and Bjorn grids. Geophysical Expertise Inc. NuSeis NRUN1 autonomous seismic nodal recording models have been used for the survey. In complete, 475 NRUs have been deployed in three (3) grid areas on the Aberdeen Challenge in July 2023. 344 NRUs have been deployed on the Tatiggaq grid at 60 m intervals; 77 NRUs have been deployed on the Ned grid at 150 m intervals, and 54 NRUs have been deployed on the Bjorn grid at 150 m intervals. The PGI crew returned to the Thelon venture to retrieve the NRUs after a recording interval of 24-26 days. The information was downloaded from the NRUs utilizing GTI’s Transportable Information Administration system and a GTI-supplied laptop computer with NuSite, NuSeis, and NuScribe software program.
Ongoing information processing is being accomplished by Ambient Reservoir Monitoring Inc. (ARM) by means of the path of Kyle Patterson at Convolutions Geoscience. A preliminary 3D slice of the processed velocity information is proven for the Tatiggaq Grid (Determine 4).

Determine 1 The Thelon Basin is a geologic analogue to the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan. Orano’s uranium deposits are alongside the identical controlling constructions as Discussion board’s Tatiggaq deposit and over 20 different targets are current inside the venture, which might host extra uranium deposits much like the Athabasca Basin.

Determine 2 The Tatiggaq Principal and West zones are interpreted to be a collection of close to vertical, uranium- bearing lenses that pattern for 1.5 km. The width of the mineralized part is interpreted to be roughly 50 m however its complete width is just not but decided. TAT23-002 solely intersected two of those lenses that have been intersected in close to vertical holes by Cameco’s earlier drilling (for instance 0.85% over 13.7m in gap TUR14A). Proposed future drill holes will goal mineralization to intersect the true width of the zone and its strike extent.

Velocity information highlights steep NW-trending faults and adjustments in velocity are attainable interfaces of various alteration strengths and/or rock models. Interpretation remains to be preliminary.
