Introduction
The Snowbird property is located along the south central margin of the Athabasca Basin and consists of six claims encompassing over 25,192 hectares. JNR Resources holds an unencumbered 100% interest in the property.
The property covers lies along the Snowbird tectonic zone, a major transcrustal structural feature representing the southwest strike extension of the Virgin River shear. Cameco's Centennial Zone, where up to 8.73% U3O8/33.9 m has been intersected over a minimum strike length of 650 metres, lies on the Virgin River shear approximately 20 to 25 kilometres along strike of the Snowbird property. JNR fully integrates its exploration on the Snowbird project with its 33% held South Dufferin joint venture, where JNR is earning a controlling interest in the property from Denison Mines.
2008 Program
In 2008, a linecutting and a ground geophysical program was completed to follow up on the results of an airborne EM and magnetic survey that identified several 'zones of interest' in areas interpreted to be structurally complex. These zones consist of north-northeast trending conductors that locally exhibit correlation with magnetic lineaments.
2009 Program
In 2009, a helicopter borne Z-Axis Tipper Electromagnetic (ZTEM) - Aeromagnetic survey was flown over the entire property. The survey was successful in upgrading the delineation of EM conductors identified by previous geophysical surveys and presented a better definition of the structural setting of the property.
Four 'zones of interest' were outlined, which lie along extensive corridors of well-defined, structurally-disrupted basement conductors. The corridors are typically 2 to 10 km in strike length. The property is now at a drill-ready stage with numerous high priority targets identified. It should be noted that the Snowbird property has never been drill tested.
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.
