The drilling confirmed low level uranium mineralisation with four of the five holes intersecting uranium anomalism at or near the unconformity between the Athabasca Sandstone and underlying basement metasediments, which are variably altered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe nature of uranium mineralisation in this region is often poddy or nuggety, which can make it challenging to reconcile the visual estimates in drill core and assay results,\u201d Trinex Minerals managing director Will Dix said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaving said that, we are confident that the widespread anomalism observed in drill core and reflected in the assays is an indication that there is a larger uranium source in close proximity to the Airstrip Prospect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Fully funded for Summer work program<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The assays have come at the perfect time, with Trinex fully funded to complete its upcoming work programs in the Canadian summer after finishing the March quarter in a strong cash position.<\/p>\n<p>The company is now gearing up to search for fault offsets around one of the winter drill holes \u2013 GC24-04 \u2013 which can act as structural traps for the deposition of uranium mineralisation.<\/p>\n<p>The plan is to kick off the summer season with a comprehensive VTEM survey before the end of June, covering Airstrip, Butler Lake and a recently identified new zone: Gibbons East.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Tried and tested method for uranium discoveries<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The survey is targeting areas where historical EM surveys identified zones of high conductivity \u2013 a common exploration method which has resulted in the discovery of many deposits across the Athabasca Basin.<\/p>\n<p>Trinex is confident that using the modern VTEM plus system will provide a more detailed and robust targeting tool than previous outdated EM surveys completed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are about to embark on the acquisition of detailed VTEM data over most of the Gibbons Creek Project and now that we are driving the exploration with the help of our technical partners at Dahrouge Geological Consulting, we are excited to develop new drilling targets utilising this dataset,\u201d Dix said.<\/p>\n<p>Once the data has been analysed, further drilling will be undertaken.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Pic: Gibbons Creek project areas to be covered by the imminent VTEM survey.
