The Gunnar Project is located at the south end of the prolific Beaverlodge Uranium District, where uranium was mined between 1953 and 1982.

Key Points: 
  • The Gunnar Project is located at the south end of the prolific Beaverlodge Uranium District, where uranium was mined between 1953 and 1982.
  • The new claims of the Gunnar Project have many attributes that are favourable for high-grade unconformity-style uranium mineralization.
  • The key geological factors include:
    The Beaverlodge District is host to numerous zones of uranium mineralization that pre-date the formation of the Athabasca Basin.
  • Uranium deposits in the Beaverlodge District are related to up to six to periods of uranium mineralization associated with multistage deformation during Proterozoic tectonism.
