High-resolution resistivity imaging has delineated multiple conductive corridors at the basement-sandstone unconformity - the primary target horizon for Athabasca-type uranium deposits.
The resistivity map images the lower sandstone (SST) horizon. Low-resistivity zones (blue-green, 290–1,700 ohm-m) indicate graphitic basement conductors - the structural and geochemical traps that host uranium mineralization in the Athabasca Basin.
Interpretation of the resistivity data has identified multiple sub-parallel conductive trends striking NNE-SSW through the property. These conductors are consistent with graphitic pelite units along reactivated basement structures - the same geological setting as IsoEnergy's Hurricane deposit 5 km to the north.

The Summer 2022 drill program completed 14 diamond drill holes testing the western conductor corridor. Hole ML22-006 returned the best intercept: 0.242% U3O8 over 0.5m at 322.5m depth at the unconformity contact.

Murphy Lake targets unconformity-hosted uranium at the contact between Athabasca Group sandstone and Paleoproterozoic basement rocks. The geological cross-section below illustrates the deposit model - click to enlarge.
A Moving-Loop Electromagnetic (MLEM) survey is currently being conducted over the Murphy Lake property. This higher-resolution survey will refine conductor targets and define optimal drill pad locations for the Spring 2026 program.
Murphy Lake sits in the northeastern Athabasca Basin, an area with multiple uranium discoveries - approximately 5 km south of IsoEnergy's Hurricane deposit and approximately 4 km from Cameco's La Rocque Zone. Orano's McClean Lake mill is approximately 30 km to the south.
