Appia’s property is nestled within the Archean-aged Peter Lake Domain, a region well-known for its abundant reserves of platinum group elements (PGE), gold, and copper mineralization. The Domain also hosts various surface uranium and REE occurrences, adding to its geology.
The property hosts a vast array of rock types, revealing a geological timeline from the most recent to the oldest. This spectrum includes the Paleoproterozoic intrusive Wathaman Batholith’s granitic rocks, neoArchean gabbroic, dioritic, and ultramafic rocks (with a prevalence of hornblende-rich varieties), and Archean granodioritic to tonalitic migmatitic gneiss intermingled with a range of granitoid rocks and gneisses. Notably, pegmatite partial melts are a common feature across all these rock types.
The presence of very mafic-rich rock units in the region draws parallels with some of the Athabasca Basin’s high-grade uranium mineralization. These include notable mineralized zones like Fission’s Triple R and NexGen’s Arrow. Notably, Kivalliq’s Lac 50 uranium deposit in Nunavut finds its entire host within metamorphosed basalts, emphasizing the significance of mafic-rich rock types in uranium mineralization.
The property’s boundary is situated approximately 85 kilometres east of the present-day Athabasca Basin margin. Here, the uranium deposit model for the Eastside property is predominantly near-surface, characterized by pegmatite-hosted high-grade uranium mineralization (i.e., basement-hosted), often accompanied by structural controls. Unlike some other uranium deposit models, the presence of Athabasca Basin cover is not necessary, further enhancing the prospect for our project.
The utilization of airborne radiometric surveys unveiled information, leading to the discovery of radioactive boulders, till, and outcrop within the property’s expanse. This revelation marked the inception of our exploration journey.
The ground prospecting sampling of boulders and outcrops were instrumental in deciphering the extent of uranium abundance. The samples returned values spanning from 2 to 7,575 ppm uranium, culminating in an average grade of 360 ppm uranium. A notable highlight includes twelve samples that exceeded the 1,000 ppm uranium threshold, underlining the presence of this sought-after commodity.
Along a geological strike length spanning 1.7 kilometres, three outcrop samples yielded notable results, with uranium values of 2,538 ppm, 6,650 ppm, and an impressive 7,575 ppm. These findings provided a glimpse into the geology concealed beneath the Earth’s surface at Appia’s Eastside location.
Particularly noteworthy are the boulders originating from hornblende-bearing pegmatites within hornblende-rich felsic gneisses. These geological characteristics are pivotal in our understanding of the uranium occurrences and offer essential insights for our ongoing exploration endeavors.
The study of boulders of similar lithological origin to the outcrops, and located down-ice, showed the presence of uranium. Several boulders recorded uranium values exceeding the 1,000 ppm threshold.
Community Partnership: Our collaboration with the local Wollaston community strengthens our team, with up to 35% of our staff hailing from this region.
Geochemical Analysis: Advanced geochemical analysis is carried out in SRC’s state-of-the-art geoanalytical lab, allowing us to decipher the mineral composition and identify uranium-rich veins.
Diamond Drilling: With a dedicated exploration drill, we penetrate deep into the earth’s crust to extract core samples for further multidisciplinary analysis.
Ground Prospecting & Mapping: Every inch of the land holds significance, and our ground prospecting and mapping help us keep a comprehensive record.
Handheld Scintillometer: A portable powerhouse, this tool assists in detecting radioactive materials in real-time.
Handheld Spectrometer: This device helps analyze the composition of rocks and minerals on-site, guiding our exploration efforts.
Geophysics: This invaluable method helps us explore beneath the surface, unveiling the geological treasures hidden below.
Structural Mapping: Understanding the earth’s structural framework is essential for pinpointing uranium-rich zones.
Advanced Data Storage & 3D Modeling: We employ cutting-edge technology, such as Seequent and MX Deposit, to store and model our data in three dimensions, providing a more comprehensive view of the geological landscape.
Magnetics, U and Th Radiometrics, Electromagnetics: These tools enable us to detect variations in the earth’s magnetic field and radiation, shedding light on potential uranium mineralization.
