Property Overview
Zoo Bay is a large-scale, 100%-owned uranium exploration property in the northeast Athabasca Basin. The property covers 19,850 hectares across 15 mineral claims, making it one of the larger single-owner land positions in the eastern basin.
Strategic Advantages
Shallow Unconformity
The unconformity at Zoo Bay occurs at a depth of 0-200 meters - significantly shallower than many other Athabasca Basin targets. This provides a substantial cost advantage for drilling, as shallower targets require shorter drill holes and less time per hole.
Infrastructure Proximity
Zoo Bay is located just 60 km from Orano's McClean Lake mill, the only operating uranium processing facility in the region. Proximity to existing infrastructure reduces the development pathway should exploration be successful.
Discovery Corridor
The property is situated within the Eastern Athabasca Discovery Corridor, a zone that hosts the majority of the basin's high-grade uranium deposits and is the focus of significant ongoing exploration activity.
Planned Programs
- Ground Gravity Survey: 2,500 stations on a 200m x 100m grid to map basement structures and identify drill targets
- Survey designed to rapidly advance the property from early-stage to drill-ready
Exploration Rationale
Gravity data will map basement topography and identify structural traps that control uranium deposition at the unconformity - the primary target horizon for high-grade uranium deposits in the Athabasca Basin. The combination of a shallow unconformity, favorable structural setting, and proximity to known deposits makes Zoo Bay a compelling exploration target.
