Western Athabasca Syndicate Reports Significant Radon and Gravity Low Anomalies at Preston Uranium Project

Skyharbour Resources (TSXV:SYH) provided an update and results of gravity and radon surveys completed as part of the Western Athabasca Syndicate’s winter program at the Preston Uranium project. The Preston project is located in the Patterson Lake region, near Fission Uranium’s (TSX:FCU) Triple R discovery and NexGen Energy’s (TSXV:NXE) Arrow discovery.

As quoted in the press release:

The 1,234 station gravity survey was completed over four grids in the Depper Lake area including one at the FIN target, one at the FSA target and two at the Dixon target. A total of seven circular gravity low anomalies were detected by the survey, located along prospective coincident EM conductors and magnetic breaks defined by the 2014 airborne VTEM survey. RadonEx radon surveys were subsequently completed over these seven gravity anomalies as well as at four additional gravity anomalies identified in 2014 at the Canoe target which is also endowed with coincident gravity, magnetic and EM anomaly features. The 273 station RadonEx survey returned significant radon cluster anomalies with up to 0.40 pCi/m2/sec in soil (RFM samples), and up to 10.36 pCi/l in water. For comparison, anomalous radon in soil results at Fission’s nearby PLS deposit range between 0.15 and 0.95 pCi/m2/sec, and anomalous radon in water results range between 2 and 13.3 pCi/l.

Based on the combined results of the 2014-2015 gravity and RadonEx surveys, six high priority targets have been identified and will be subjected to ground based horizontal loop electromagnetic (HLEM) surveys. Grids totalling 12.5 line-km, are currently being surveyed at the FSA, FIN, Dixon, and Canoe targets. The combined results of these surveys will be used to prioritize and refine targets for a proposed drill program this summer at Preston.
