Nexus Uranium Provides Update On Upcoming Winter Drill Program
The winter access ice access road construction remains ongoing with camp crew mobilization and construction anticipated over the coming week. The drill program, which is expected to commence in late January, will initially focus on testing Area B followed by Areas A, I, and an untested conductor trend (see figure). Historical drilling from Area B intersected clay alteration which extends throughout the entire sandstone with altered pyrite and associated uranium enrichment in the lower sandstone. The sandstone alteration is associated with wide intersections of brecciation and faulting, causing over 50 metres of vertical unconformity displacement. Hydrothermal alteration persists deep into the basement rocks.
"We're eager to begin the winter drill program at Cree East, a project shaped by years of thorough research and preparation in addition to leveraging over $20 million in prior exploration" commented Jeremy Poirier, CEO of Nexus Uranium. "This drill program marks an important step in advancing our understanding of the project's potential and represents a significant milestone for Nexus Uranium.
