Introduction
The South Cigar property is located 20 kilometres south-southeast of the Cigar Lake uranium mine and consists of five mineral claims totaling 17,653 hectares. 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.
2009 Program
In 2009, Denison established a 41.2 line-kilometre grid in the Whitford Lake area and 19.3 line-kilometre grid in the Esker South Area. Ground EM was carried out over the Whitford Lake grid and ground resistivity over the Esker South grid. Interpretation of these two surveys is ongoing.
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.
