Significant results returned from East Preston Drill Program Skyharbour Resources (SYH.v SYHBF) and joint-venture partner Azincourt Energy have received significant results from its 2023 drill program at the East Preston Uranium Project in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin.
A total of 3,066m were completed in 13 drill holes during this program and a total of 687 samples were collected for analysis .
Analysis of the results shows uranium enrichment within the previously identified clay alteration zones along the K and H target zones, with extensive structure and hydrothermal clay alteration within the structural zone at the K-Zone.
Drilling on the northeast trending G-Zone identified extensive hydrothermal alteration, evidence of east-west cross-cutting structures and elevated radioactivity.
These drilling results are significant because other major uranium discoveries in the Athabasca Basin such as McArthur River, Key Lake, and Millennium were primarily the result of drill testing of strong alteration zones related to conductor features.
Thus, "identifying and upgrading the strong alteration zones is a significant step forward in identifying the key areas along the conductor trends where more attention is required."
“The elevated uranium values from the last two drill programs, combined with the confirmed presence of relevant clays and strong U/Th ratios, within these systems, are substantial developments in the progression of the project and should not be underestimated.
