Introduction
The South Cigar property consists of five mineral claims totaling 17,653 hectares. It is located 20 kilometres south-southeast of the Cigar Lake uranium mine. Denison Mines Corp. (Dension; formerly International Uranium Corporation) has earned a 75% interest in the project.
Previous Work
Parts of the property were explored during the late 1970's and early 1980's. The work carried out included airborne INPUT and magnetic surveys, ground HLEM and magnetic surveys and EM-37 surveys. Six holes were drilled, two of which failed to intersect the targeted conductor, while two others did not even reach the unconformity. Several other drill targets were identified, but never tested.
In 1995, Cameco drilled nine holes in the Richmond Lake area (south & southeastern claims) targeting geological and geophysical features including the Bird Lake fault zone, a major northeast trending structure. Although no anomalous uranium values were obtained, structural disruption and strong alteration were common to a number of the holes. Unconformity depths on the property vary from 200 to 250 metres.
In the spring of 2004, JNR and Denison completed a 243-kilometre airborne GEOTEM survey over the property. This survey outlined a number of features including a conductive zone interpreted to represent a deep-seated basement conductor.
Current Program
The project operator, Denison, has planned a one-hole, 400-metre drill program to take place in winter 2008.
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.
