Forum Energy Metals Corp. has appointed Richard Aksawnee as the Manager of Nunavut Affairs for its Aberdeen Uranium Project near Baker Lake, Nunavut. Richard, a long-time community leader, aims to enhance local engagement, workforce development, and community investment during exploration activities. Richard's extensive experience includes serving as Baker Lake's mayor from 2019 to 2023 and chairing the Hunter and Trappers' Organization for 20 years. Forum's Aberdeen project spans over 95,000 hectares of highly prospective land, with significant deposits identified in previous drilling programs. Current exploration drilling is focused on the Tatiggaq deposit.
Forum Energy Metals has launched a 10,000-meter diamond drilling program on its 100% owned Aberdeen Uranium Project in Nunavut. This initiative involves drilling approximately 25-30 holes within the Tatiggaq anomaly and 10 more holes in other prospective areas like Ned, Bjorn, and Qavvik targets. The drilling targets are refined using processed and modelled Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) survey data. The Tatiggaq deposit comprises two zones, Main and West, located at depths of 80-180 meters, and the 2024 drilling aims to extend these zones and evaluate new areas within the Tatiggaq gravity anomaly. This marks the first large-scale uranium exploration in the Thelon Basin since 2012, with high-priority targets identified for their significant deposit potential.
Forum Energy Metals and Traction Uranium have commenced an airborne MobileMT survey at the Grease River Project in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin. The survey, covering 1,781 line-km with 100-meter spacing, will provide high-resolution magnetic and VLF data to aid future drilling. This new survey aims to better resolve conductors and fault zones previously masked by shallow layers. Traction Uranium can acquire up to 100% interest in the project through staged payments and exploration funding totaling $11.95 million by 2028. The data will enhance the understanding of subsurface structures, potentially identifying new uranium mineralization zones.
