F3 and SKRR to Test Conductors on Clearwater West
F3 Uranium Corp. (TSXV: FUU, OTCQB: FUUFF) and SKRR Exploration plan a 2024 summer drilling program at the Clearwater West Property in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan. The program includes five core drill holes and geophysical surveys. SKRR can earn up to 70% interest in the property by making cash payments, issuing shares to F3, and funding exploration work. The property is near major uranium deposits like Fission Uranium's Triple R and NexGen's Arrow. Clearwater West spans 11,786 hectares and has shown potential for basement-hosted uranium deposits. Ground gravity and Time Domain EM surveys will also be conducted to identify new drill targets.
- Exploration permits received from the Ministry of Environment of Saskatchewan.
- SKRR has an option to acquire up to 70% interest, potentially boosting F3's financial position.
- The property is in proximity to major uranium deposits like Triple R and Arrow.
- Experienced management team with a track record of high-grade uranium discoveries.
- Ground gravity and Time Domain EM geophysical surveys to refine drill targets.
- Five core drill holes planned, showing active exploration and potential for discoveries.
- Only three shallow drill holes completed in the past, implying historical data.
- Exploration is in an early stage, with uncertainties around the extent of uranium mineralization.
- Potential dilution for SKRR shareholders due to share issuance to F3.
- Risk of unsuccessful drilling results which could impact stock performance.
Kelowna, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 18, 2024) - F3 Uranium Corp. (TSXV: FUU) (OTCQB: FUUFF) ("F3" or the "Company") is pleased to announce exploration plans for the 2024 summer program which will consist of drilling of approximately 5 exploration core drill holes as well as ground gravity and Time Domain EM geophysical surveys. The exploration permits to carry out the work have been received from the Ministry of Environment of Saskatchewan. SKRR Exploration Inc. (TSXV: SKRR) has an option to acquire up to a
Only three shallow drillholes were previously completed on the property (see F3 news release dated August 4, 2023) in 2015 and encountered graphitic shear zones. Drilling this summer will consist of follow up drilling of the 2015 holes as well as first pass drilling targeting ground Time Domain electromagnetic and IP resistivity anomalies on areas of increased conductivity along untested airborne EM conductors on the east side of the property.
The western part of the property has untested conductors that are sub-parallel to the Patterson Lake corridor which hosts Fission Uranium's Triple R uranium deposit and NexGen's Arrow uranium deposit located 13 km to the north and 17 km to the north respectively. Ground gravity and Time Domain EM surveys will also be completed this summer in the west part of the property, covering distinct conductive areas defined by the 2014 VTEM survey, to develop and define distinct drill targets for future testing.
Summary of the Clearwater West Property:
The Clearwater West Project is located ~20 km outside the edge and in the south-west area of the Athabasca Basin, which is poised to become the next area for the development of major uranium mines in Saskatchewan. It is 13 km south of Fission Uranium's Triple R deposit, located 7 km outside the basin edge on its PLS Property, where a Feasibility Study was recently completed, and 17 km south of NexGen's Arrow deposit. The Clearwater West property is comprised of 3 contiguous mineral claims totaling 11,786 hectares which are immediately south and adjacent to Fission Uranium's PLS property.
Basement hosted Athabasca unconformity related deposits often feature unique characteristics that can be identified by various geophysical surveys. A VTEM survey flown over the property in early 2014 defined electromagnetic (EM) conductors, some of which are interpreted to be possible extensions of the EM conductors identified on the PLS property immediately to the north.
F3's experienced and successful management and technical team, with a track record of three major high-grade uranium discoveries in the Athabasca Basin region since 2010 (Waterbury Lake project J Zone, PLS Triple R deposit and most recently the PLN JR Zone) will operate and manage Clearwater West. F3 currently holds a
