- Central Mineral Belt contains Michelin, one of North America’s largest uranium deposits
- Past property exploration found several high-grade uranium showings, sampling up to 13.8% U3O8
- Work program stages, dates and timelines will be released as available
In 2006, a program of reconnaissance geology/prospecting, lake and stream sediment sampling was completed on the Benedict Mountains Uranium Property, which defined 8 significant multi-element anomalies. In 2007/2008, global geo-data leader Fugro completed an airborne radiometric and magnetic survey. Follow-up prospecting, channel sampling, geological mapping and detailed ground radiometric surveys identified 3 uranium showings (i.e., Priority One, Harbinger, and Powe) that were selected for future drill testing.
MegaWatt’s CEO,
MegaWatt is reviewing current work program plans for the Benedict Mountains Uranium Property that include:
- Additional prospecting to more precisely delineate known zones of radioactivity
- Follow‐up prospecting of untested anomalies identified by Fugro’s airborne radiometric and magnetic survey
- Complete ground radiometrics over all known anomalous zones to provide greater detail and more focused targets within the zones
- Thorough interpretation of data for showings with the most promise and/or that warrant future drill testing, including a detailed examination of the magnetic data to deduce and interpret structures
- Production of a geological map of the northwestern part of the property with the goal of mapping stratigraphic variations and different generations of dikes and any observable structures (such a map, combined with the known distribution of anomalous uranium, could enable a better understanding of the controls on mineralization)
- Obtain a better topographic map or Digital Elevation Model (DEM), since a good surface delineation of the anomalous zones, combined with a precise map of relief, will provide an accurate understanding of the three-dimensional characteristics of prospective zones
- Following the program outlined above, and should the data warrant drilling, several zones would be drilled to further expand the Company’s understanding of the mineral potential of the Benedict Mountains Uranium Property
Details about work program stages, dates and timelines will be released as they become available.
