CanAlaska Uranium (TSXV:CVV) has reported diamond drill results from its partner-operated programs completed during the winter of 2024 on the Geikie and Moon Lake South Projects.
CanAlaska CEO, Cory Belyk, commented in a press release: “Results from the Geikie project are very encouraging and display all the characteristics of an Athabasca Basin basement-hosted uranium deposit fingerprint. The Preston Creek area is starting to favourably respond to our exploration effort and further drilling is clearly warranted. In addition, Denison continues to advance the Moon Lake South Joint Venture toward discovery. The existence of additional mineralization in drill holes along the CR3 corridor hints at its potential to host a uranium deposit.”
The 2024 winter exploration program on the Geikie Project consisted of eight completed diamond drill holes totaling 2,295 metres. The program was designed to follow-up on the success of the 2023 drill program and to test high-priority gravity anomalies identified during the 2023 Airborne Gravity Gradiometer (AGG) survey.
Drilling in the Preston Creek area intersected a wide quartz-rich fault zone showing cataclastic reactivation, intense hydrothermal fluid activity, redox-style alteration, pervasive clay alteration, and localized elevated radiometry. Drill hole observations suggest that the previously identified gravity low in the Preston Creek target area is related to a broad hydrothermal fluid system. This gravity low feature remains untested to the northeast where it extends for approximately 1,500 metres.
Geochemical assay results from the drill program are pending. The Geikie project is currently being fully-funded and operated by Basin Energy Ltd. under an option agreement.
The 2024 winter exploration program on the Moon Lake South Project consisted of eight completed diamond drill holes for a total of 5,634 metres. The program was designed to evaluate the potential to expand the footprint of high-grade uranium mineralization discovered in 2023 drill hole MS-23-10A (2.46% U3O8 over 8.0 metres) and test conductivity anomalies identified from recent ground-based Stepwise Moving Loop Electromagnetic (SWML EM) surveys.
Uranium mineralization was encountered in three of the eight drill holes completed during the winter 2024 program:- MS-24-23 intersected 0.12% eU3O8 over 0.6 metres
– MS-24-25 intersected 0.12% eU3O8 over 0.4 metres
– MS-24-27 intersected 0.08% eU3O8 over 0.2 metres
Geochemical assay results for the 2024 Moon Lake South winter program are pending.
The Moon Lake South project is a Joint Venture with Denison Mines Corp., the operator. CanAlaska currently holds a 25% ownership in the MLSJV and is funding the Company’s share of the 2024 exploration program.
Highlights from the results are as follows:
