Clearwater West
key highlights
LOCATION AND ACCESS
The Clearwater West property is located 13km to the south of Fission Uranium’s Triple R deposit and NexGen Energy’s Arrow Deposit and 35km south of F3 Uranium’s JR zone. Clearwater West consists of three contiguous mineral claims with a total area of 11,786 hectares and lies near the same broad conductor trend as the high-grade PLS Triple R uranium discovery. Clearwater West straddles Highway 955 and allows for easy year-round access.
GEOPHYSICS
Airborne geophysics programs were conducted in late 2013 and early 2014 consisting of property-scale VTEM airborne magnetic/electromagnetic and high-resolution airborne magnetic/radiometric. In 2015, a ground geophysics program included DC Resistivity and Small Moving Loop Time Domain EM. Geophysics on the property yielded multiple conductor responses consisting of numerous predominantly NE-SW strike direction trends. Three high priority areas were selected that show significant changes in conductor strike directions indicating possible cross structures.
DRILLING
In Summer of 2024, 6 drillholes were completed, totaling 1,317.8m as part of a Joint venture with SKRR. Of the 6 drillholes completed, three drillholes were able to define a conductive target. Drillholes CWW24-006 and CWW24-007 intersected fault breccia with a graphite and sulphide rich matrix while Drillhole CWW24-009 intersected four graphitic and sulfide rich shear zones. Additionally, drillhole CWW24-009 intersected anomalous radioactivity, with a max of 410 CPS at both 152.5 m to 153 m and 159.5 m to 160 m. The summer 2024 drill program followed up on historic geophysics and a 2015 a three-hole drill program which intersected graphitic-sulphide gneisses, structural disruption and hydrothermal alteration. Radioactivity up to 410 CPS was detected in hole CWW15-003. CWW15-001 also displayed minor dravite alteration within a graphitic fault.
Uranium Exploration Potential
Most recently a drill program was completed in the summer of 2024 in which multiple holes intersected graphitic and sulfide rich structures, including CWW24-009 which intersected multiple graphite structural zones and also anomalous radioactivity, the second hole on the property to display radioactivity after CWW15-003 also intersected weak radioactivity in 2015. Between limited drilling in 2015 and 2024 multiple conductors have been defined based on geophysics conducted from 2013-2015 which yielded multiple conductor responses consisting of numerous predominantly NE-SW strike direction trends and resulted in a large number of target areas, some of which are yet to be drill tested.
