ESO Uranium Corp. (TSXV:ESO) and its 50% joint venture partner Fission Energy (TSXV:FIS) announced that they have received all permits for a program of drilling, trenching and ground geophysical surveys.
As quoted in the press release:
Work has started in the search for the bedrock source of a large uranium boulder field discovered by the Joint Venture in June 2011 (see news release dated July 27, 2011). This work includes:
- Definition of local ice transport directions (underway)
- MaxMin EM surveys to re-locate historical conductors on the ground
- Resistivity survey to identify potential basement alteration zones
- Drilling to locate radioactive debris in glacial till from basement sources
- Drilling of high grade basement targets
The uranium boulders discovered in June were all associated with basement rocks, schists, psammites and granulites, and not Athabasca sandstones or conglomerates. These boulders were plucked from a basement source by ice scouring Archean basement rocks.
