Drill Hole GC22-03
Drill Hole GC22-03 Drill hole GC22-03 (-45 dip) was collared to test the south end of the Eclipse Conductor, located approximately 2.7 kilometres northwest of drill hole GC22-02. The hole encountered local zones of sooty pyrite alteration in the upper and middle sandstones and a zone of moderate desilicification in the lower sandstone located closer to the unconformity at 255.54 metres. Moderately fractured and faulted psammitic to semi-pelitic gneiss was intersected in the upper basement. Variably psammopelitic to psammitic gneiss continues to the end of the hole at 341.28 metres. A conductive horizon was not intersected, however, drill hole GC-22-03 could not be completed to its planned depth due to deteriorating winter road conditions, which necessitated the end of the 2022 drill program and subsequent demobilization of the drill and ALX personnel.

A portion of the Eclipse Conductor was first delineated by a 2005 MEGATEM airborne survey, but its full strike length was obscured by the electromagnetic effects of an encroaching powerline. ALX's Maxwell modeling of the highly-conductive anomaly led to the identification of a new uranium target, tested by drill hole GC22-03. Needs attention

something on the borehole elektro magnetic tools they are using to map out structures at depth, basicly they can see in a wide halo around the drillhole, exploration at its finest! https://z4y6y3m2.rocketcdn.me/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Deep-Exploration-with-EM-in-Boreholes.pdf https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYXFoy-HeuE
