SASKATCHEWAN – The partners in the Hook Lake uranium joint venture have approved a 2019 exploration budget of $3 million. Situated within the Patterson Uranium District, Hook Lake is owned jointly by
Cameco Corp. (39.5%),
Orano Canada (39.5%) and
Purepoint Uranium Group (operator and holder of a 21% interest).
This year’s program includes 6,600 metres of diamond drilling by two rigs. Seven holes will test targets along the Patterson Corridor and 10 holes will test the Derkson Corridor, where drilling in 1978 revealed uranium mineralization. A ground geophysical survey and a transient electromagnetic survey are planned.
The Hook Lake property is on trend with recent high grade uranium discoveries including
Fission Uranium's Triple R deposit and
NexGen's Arrow deposit.
