Hearty Bay Drilling Suggests Till Sampling May Lead to Source of Radioactive Boulders
Drill Program Suspended Due to Early Ice Road Closure
- The winter ice road which the Company employs to access the Hearty Bay drill sites was closed about one month earlier than usual.
- Importantly, this suggests that it will be possible to use the subglacial till sampling method to trace the dispersion of uraniferous till under the lake, and thus directly back to the source of the historic Isle Brochet high grade boulder trains.
- The discovery of this 2.3 m thick till under the lake provides strong support for additional sub glacial till sampling to ultimately lead directly to the source from which the radioactive boulder trains on Isle Brochet originate.
- An inversion based structural interpretation will then be included for drill planning for the next program on the property for which the timing is being considered.
