RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Typical Day after a NexGen News Release...UraniumGal,
Correct, there are no uranium mines in the Athabasca basin operating at depths greater than 600 meters, however, the depth constraints are for unconformity type deposits, and not for basement hosted deposits. That is the deliberate misdirection and lie that quakes posted to shareholders and potential investors. Unconformity deposits have intense alteration that turns the surrounding rock into wet, water saturated clays, that are also susceptable to additional water inflows from the ground water charged basin sediments. These problems are why Cameco et al have to use expensive freeze technology to mine Cigar and McArthur with mining costs up to $7,000.00/tonne... Uranium deposits below the basin sediments, hosted in solid granites, gniesses etc., have no such problems and can operate at depths as deep as gold or base metal mines, or greater than 2500 meters.

teevee wrote: No mines below 600 meters depth in basement? Typical misdirection to shareholders. This is the kind of bad information that should make you liable for lying to prospective investors.
Kidd Creek is deepening mine from 2800 meters depth; many of the gold mines past and present have mined sedll in excess of 2000 meters depths......
