UraniumX Plans 2,500-Station Ground Gravity Survey at Zoo Bay
Ground Gravity Survey Planned
UraniumX Discovery Corp. announces plans for a comprehensive ground gravity survey at its 100%-owned Zoo Bay property in the northeast Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan.
Survey Parameters
The planned survey includes:
- 2,500 gravity stations across the property
- 200m x 100m station spacing for detailed structural mapping
- Focus on identifying basement fault structures and alteration zones associated with uranium mineralization
- Coverage of priority areas identified through compilation of regional geological data
Property Highlights
Zoo Bay is a large-scale, 100%-owned uranium exploration property:
- 19,850 hectares across 15 mineral claims
- Located 60 km from Orano's McClean Lake mill - the only operating uranium mill in the region
- Shallow unconformity at 0-200m depth, significantly reducing drilling costs compared to deeper basin targets
- Situated within the Eastern Athabasca Discovery Corridor, a zone of active exploration and discovery
Strategic Rationale
The gravity survey is designed to rapidly advance Zoo Bay from an early-stage property to a drill-ready project. Gravity data will map basement topography and identify structural traps that control uranium deposition at the unconformity - the primary target horizon in the Athabasca Basin.
"Zoo Bay represents a significant opportunity for discovery in an underexplored part of the basin," said CEO Esen Boldkhuu. "The shallow unconformity provides a cost advantage for drilling, and the proximity to existing infrastructure reduces the path to potential development."
Timeline
The ground gravity survey is planned for completion in Q1 2026, with results to inform the Company's next phase of exploration.
Mineral Resource Cautionary: The Company has not defined any mineral resources or mineral reserves on any of its properties. There is no guarantee that exploration will result in the discovery of an economic mineral deposit.
Adjacent Properties: References to mineralization, deposits, mines, and resources on adjacent or nearby properties are for geological context only. Mineralization on adjacent properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the Company's properties.
