Introduction
The Kelic Lake property is located along the southern margin of the Athabasca Basin, approximately 150 kilometres west-northwest of the Key Lake uranium mine. It consists of three contiguous mineral claims comprising 16,036 hectares. These properties were staked in the fall of 2004, after a review of the assessment files indicated a number of prospective targets.
Denison Mines Corp. has earned a 75% interest in the project. JNR is the project manager.
Previous Work
The Kelic Lake area was explored in the late 1970's and early 1980's. Approximately 15 holes were drilled during that time period, only half of which were completed. The drilling targeted northeast-trending conductors and their intersection with an interpreted northwest-trending fault. On an airborne compilation this fault appears as a prominent magnetic low. The overall magnetic pattern in this area is a mix of highs and lows.
The results from the diamond drilling programs indicate that a number of the holes were illitic or partly illitic, with minor amounts of chlorite alteration in some. Several of the holes were weakly anomalous with respect to lead, while a couple also returned weakly anomalous uranium values. Structural disruption is clearly evident in two of the holes (KL-05 & KL-07), where reverse faulting was also noted. The targeted conductors were generally unexplained.
Current Program
The Company has received the results from the 2007 exploration program on the Kelic Lake project. This program focused on targets identified from a 975 line-kilometre airborne EM and magnetic survey, and consisted of some 84 kilometres of linecutting and 130 kilometres of ground EM surveying on four separate grids. A number of targets for follow-up have been identified. Planning and the timing of additional work are underway.
Quality Assurance / Quality Control
JNR's Vice-President Exploration, David L. Billard, PGeo, is the Qualified Person for the Company's Athabasca Basin uranium projects. All technical information for the projects is obtained and reported under a formal quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) program, details of which are presented in the PDF link below.
