Marvel Defines Drill Targets at DD Zone - Walker and KLR Uranium Project Adjacent to Cameco, Athabasca Basin
Marvel Discovery Corp. (TSX-V:MARV, OTCQB:MARVF) announced it will concentrate exploration efforts on the DD Zone within the KLR and Walker Uranium Project in the Athabasca Basin. A recent study identified significant potential, with historical drilling revealing U values of up to 1.96%. The DD Zone is strategically located near high-grade uranium resources, including Cameco's projects. Plans for drilling are anticipated later this year, leveraging insights from airborne magnetic surveys and a focus on high-priority targets.
- Focus on the DD Zone, identified as having significant uranium potential.
- Historical drilling results show high uranium values, enhancing exploration credibility.
- Strategic location near Cameco's high-grade uranium resources.
- Planned drilling to begin later this year, indicating forward momentum.
- None.
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 23, 2022 / Marvel Discovery Corp. (TSX-V:MARV), (Frankfurt:O4T), (OTCQB:MARVF); ("Marvel" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that after compilation and interpretation of all existing data plus the results of the recently completed the airborne fixed wing magnetic survey, the Company will focus on the DD Zone for upcoming exploration efforts. The DD Zone represents an area of high merit and potential for success within the KLR and Walker Uranium Project ("the Property") in the Athabasca Basin. The study and recommendation for the DD Zone was completed by Exploration Facilitation Unlimited ("EFU").
Highlights of the study prompting Marvel to focus on the DD Zone include:
- Drilling during the 1970's intersected U values of
0.125% - Backpack drilling by EFU in 2015 discovered the Highway Zone, intersecting
1.96% U over 29cm. Other highlights include1.57% U over 4 cm0.279% U over 44cm,0.20% U over 60cm,0.175% U over 41cm, and0.124% U over 24cm. The Highway Zone Discovery appears structurally related and an extension of the DD Zone. - A distinct correlation with high U values and strong magnetic gradients. (Figure 2)
- VTEM conductors proximal to the higher U values but overburden covered have not been investigated or drilled.
- The Property is located within the Wollaston-Mudjactic Transition Zone ("WMTZ") of the eastern Athabasca Basin. The WMTZ hosts the highest-grade uranium mines in the world (Figure 1).
- The DD Zone further straddles the Key Lake Shear Zone, an important fault for structurally controlled Athabasca Basin type uranium deposits.
Commentary
"The DD Zone represents tremendous upside potential; the project is perfectly situated next to one of the largest Uranium resources in the world being Cameco that has produced some of the highest-grade Uranium. The Walker and KLR claims cover over 14,000 hectares along the Key Lake fault which is home to Canada's largest Uranium reserves. After careful study, compilation, and interpretation, we have narrowed our focus to a manageable area where precision IP has helped define a number of high priority drill targets. All the pieces of the puzzle are falling into place, and we look forward to initiating ground exploration with the anticipation of our inaugural drilling program later in the year." stated Karim Rayani President & Chief Executive Officer, Director.

The DD Zone
The DD Zone is proximal and along strike to Fission 3.0 Hobo Lake uranium properties. Hosted within WMTZ, the DD Zone lies along the Key Lake Shear Zone and hosts 10 uranium showings and multiple unexplored EM targets (Figure 2).
