RE:9000 meters of drilling on the way in 3 locationsyep, 13 mil or something, gibbons has the same geological structure as patterson lake...
- Drill hole GC15-03 intersected 0.13% U3O8 over 0.23 metres, within a 1.1 metre interval of 333.8 ppm Uranium immediately below the sub-Athabasca unconformity.
- Drill hole GC15-06 encountered strongly altered basement lithologies including strongly hematized quartz-carbonate-chlorite alteration and brecciation. Anomalous geochemical pathfinders (U, B, Ni, Co, Cu) were also present.
- Drill hole GC15-12 intersected anomalous uranium (297 ppm), nickel (793 ppm), copper (230 ppm) and boron (800 ppm).
- Spectroscopic analysis of core samples from ALX’s 2015 drilling detected clay alteration products such as illite and sudoite (a unique form of chlorite associated with uranium mineralization) in the sandstone at or near the unconformity, which suggests that hydrothermal alteration has occurred in the vicinity of the drill hole.
