Property Descriptions
物业描述
The Optioned Properties, covering a total area of 39,381 hectares, are located along the northwestern margin of the Athabasca Basin and encompass the vast majority of target horizons (electromagnetic or "EM" conductors) in the Uranium City area for high-grade uranium mineralization associated with the Athabasca Basin unconformity ("Unconformity-style" mineralization). Historical exploration efforts were focused on "Beaverlodge-style" mineralization, and the Optioned Properties are largely unexplored by modern techniques. Within the Optioned Properties there are numerous historical high-grade uranium (>1% U3O8) surface showings, in addition to historical uranium production. Approximately $7.6M has been invested in the Optioned Properties since 2020 by Fortune Bay Corp. ("Fortune Bay") and Standard Uranium Ltd. ("Standard", and together with Fortune Bay, the "Underlying Owners"). The Optioned Properties contain multiple, permitted, drill ready targets where reconnaissance drilling completed by the Underlying Owners intersected narrow zones of uranium mineralization and wide zones of hydrothermal alteration. Shallow, elevated uranium in drill core on the Optioned Properties is associated with favourable brittle-deformed graphitic rocks and pathfinder elements typical of high-grade Athabasca Basin deposits. These results confirm that Athabasca Basin Unconformity-style mineralizing systems have been active on the Optioned Properties.
可选地产总面积为39,381公顷,位于阿萨巴斯卡盆地的西北边缘,涵盖铀城地区的绝大多数目标视域(电磁或 “电磁” 导体),用于与阿萨巴斯卡盆地不整合(“不一致式” 矿化)相关的高品位铀矿化。历史上的勘探工作集中在 “BeaverLodge式” 矿化上,而可选地产在很大程度上没有通过现代技术进行勘探。在可选地产中,有许多历史上的高品位铀(铀含量大于 1%)3O8) 地表展示,以及历史铀产量。自2020年以来,财富湾公司已向期权物业投资了约760万美元(”财富湾“)和标准铀有限公司(”标准“,再加上财富湾,”标的持有者“)。Optioned Properties包含多个允许的、随时可钻探的目标,在这些目标中,底层所有者完成的侦察钻探与狭窄的铀矿化区域和宽阔的热液蚀变区域相交。Optioned Properties钻芯中的浅层高铀与有利的脆性变形石墨岩和高品位阿萨巴斯卡盆地矿床典型的开拓者元素有关。 这些结果证实,阿萨巴斯卡盆地不合格型矿化系统在可选地产上一直处于活跃状态。

Sun Dog Property
太阳狗地产
The Sun Dog Property ("Sun Dog") optioned from Standard covers an area of 19,604 ha in nine mining claims and is host to the historic Gunnar uranium mine which produced approximately 18M lbs of U3O8 between 1953 and 19811. Sun Dog also hosts historical uranium mineralization at surface ranging between 0.1% and 3.58% U3O8. Standard has invested approximately $4M in exploration at Sun Dog where 13 holes drilled in 2022 and 2023 resulted in the identification of anomalous radioactivity and broad zones of strong hydrothermal alteration requiring follow-up.
太阳犬地产 (“太阳狗”)从标准中选出的九项采矿权占地面积为19,604公顷,是历史悠久的贡纳尔铀矿的所在地,该矿生产了约1800万磅的U3O8 在 1953 年到 1981 年之间1。Sun Dog 还拥有历史上铀矿化的地表,铀矿化率介于 0.1% 至 3.58% 之间3O8。标准已投资约400万美元在Sun Dog进行勘探,2022年和2023年在那里钻了13个洞,最终确定了 异常的放射性和广阔的强烈热液蚀变区域,需要后续跟进。
Strike Property
罢工财产
The Strike Property ("Strike") optioned from Fortune Bay covers an area of 9,746 ha in four mining claims. Strike is host to multiple historical surface uranium showings exceeding 1% U3O8 at surface and grading as high as 27% U3O82. In addition, historical small-scale mining was conducted at the Tena zone where approximately 1,000 tons was mined in the 1950's with reported grades of 0.6% to 3.5% U3O83. Fortune Bay has invested approximately $1.5M in exploration at Strike and in 2021 completed a ground gravity survey to augment historical VTEM and geochemical surveys previously completed by Cameco. In 2022, nine drill holes were completed by Fortune Bay, three of which intersected anomalous uranium mineralization up to a maximum of 0.43% U3O8. Follow-up and exploratory drilling is strongly warranted at twelve target areas.
Strike 财产 (“罢工”)在四项采矿权中,从财富湾选择的占地面积为9,746公顷。Strike是历史上多次显示铀含量超过1%的地表铀的场所3O8 表面和品位高达 27% U3O82。此外,历史上曾在特纳地区进行过小规模采矿,该地区在1950年代开采了约1,000吨,报告的铀品位为0.6%至3.5%3O83。财富湾已投资约150万美元用于Strike的勘探,并于2021年完成了一项地面重力调查,以增强Cameco先前完成的历史VTEM和地球化学调查。2022年,Fortune Bay完成了九个钻孔,其中三个与异常铀矿化相交,最大含量为 0.43%3O8。 强烈建议在十二个目标区域进行后续和勘探性钻探。
Murmac Property
穆尔马克地产
The Murmac Property ("Murmac") owned by Fortune Bay covers an area of 10,131 ha in sixteen mining claims. Murmac is host to multiple historical surface uranium showings exceeding 1% U3O8 and grading as high as 10.3% U3O84. Fortune Bay has invested approximately $2.1M in exploration at Murmac. In 2022, Fortune Bay completed ground gravity and VTEM surveys and then completed a maiden drill program totalling 15 holes. Anomalous uranium was intersected in six of the holes, up to a maximum individual assay of 0.18% U3O8. Follow-up and exploratory drilling is strongly warranted at thirty-three target areas.
穆尔马克地产 (“Murmac”)财富湾拥有的十六份采矿索赔占地面积为10,131公顷。Murmac是历史上多次展示铀含量超过1%的地表铀的场所3O8 而且评分高达 10.3% U3O84。财富湾已投资约210万美元用于Murmac的勘探。2022年,财富湾完成了地面重力和VTEM调查,然后完成了总共15个钻孔的首次钻探计划。异常铀在其中六个孔中相交,最大单个测定值为 0.18% U3O8。 强烈需要在三十三个目标区域进行后续和勘探性钻探。
