Alpha Exploration Inc. (TSXV:AEX) announced that lake sediment sample analyses collected in April 2014 during a radon in lake water and sediment survey have been received. The survey took place at Carpenter Lake in Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin as part of Alpha’s option agreement to earn a 60 percent interest in the Carpenter Lake Property from Noka Resources Inc. (TSXV:NX). In total, 60 lake sediment samples were recovered by RadonEx Exploration Management within six grids along the Cable Bay Shear Zone at the property.
As quoted in the press release:
The lake sediment samples were recovered concurrent with radon in sediment samples that were targeted above electromagnetic (“EM”) conductors confirmed in a detailed airborne VTEM and magnetic survey completed in February 2014 by Aeroquest International Limited. Where substantial overburden thickness exists, lake sediment samples represent glacially transported material, and the bedrock source of anomalous uranium is thought to be situated up-ice. Conversely, radon in lake and sediment anomalies may represent a bedrock source directly below where the concentration of uranium in the lake sediments is at background levels. The lake sediment results have assisted in determining whether radon anomalies may be sourced from the overburden or bedrock directly beneath, which will be a valuable tool in developing future exploration programs on the Property. Summer exploration at Carpenter Lake will include a detailed high-resolution airborne gamma radiation spectrometric survey (radiometrics). The detailed radiometric survey will be followed by ground prospecting, geochemical and radon sampling.
