Northern Uranium (TSXV:UNO) reports that drilling in underway at its Maguire Lake project, with the bedrock intersected at a depth of 21.5 meters. Samples taken from drill cuttings property show an increased presence of uranium 232, 234, 235 and 238.
According to the press release:
Composite samples were collected from the drill cuttings every 1.5 meters. These samples were analyzed using an Iso Cart 85 gamma ray spectrometer which detects Uranium 232, 234, 235 and 238 as well as Lead 210, Bismuth 214 and Radium 226. Analysis of the samples determined that there was an increase in Uranium 232, 234, 235, 238 as well as Lead 210 and Bismuth 214 isotopes at the till-bedrock contact. Uranium 234 and 238 as well as Lead 210 are mobile and therefore could have travelled up structural zones from an uranium source detected by the gravity low and elevated radon values in a favourable semi-pelite bedrock source.
