Project Summary:
The recently acquired Horton Project consists of 3 claims totalling 2,922 ha, located approximately 34 km south of Cameco’s Rabbit Lake Operation, and 40 km southwest of the community of Wollaston Lake. The project lies just outside the Athabasca Basin, and is underlain by prospective Wollaston Supergroup metasedimentary rocks, including pelitic, psammopelitic, and graphitic pelitic gneisses similar to those hosting unconformity-related uranium mineralization at the nearby Eagle Point Deposit (Cameco’s Rabbit Lake operation).
Horton Project Map:
The project has seen a limited amount of historical exploration with most of the work consisting of airborne and ground geophysical surveys in the late 1960’s and during the 1970’s. The only modern exploration work completed on the property was an airborne VLF-EM and magnetics survey which partially covered the property. One mineral occurrence is noted on the property, the Horton Island U-Th-bearing pegmatite (SMDI 1707). The entire property is prospective for basement-hosted unconformity-related uranium deposits as well as pegmatite-hosted U-Th-REE mineralization.
