Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 14, 2024) - Atomic Minerals Corporation(TSXV: ATOM) ("ATOMIC MINERALS" or the "Company") is pleased to announce plans for its initial prospecting program at its 100% owned Archie Lake Project ("Archie Lake") in northern Saskatchewan. A Grander Exploration Ltd. eight-man prospecting team will undertake an extensive grab and chip sampling program to explore the 264-hectare property for basement-hosted hosted uranium mineralization in this active exploration area of northeast Saskatchewan.
Grander has identified target areas TZ1 and TZ2 (see July 18, 2024 News Release) after a detailed review of historic geophysical data. A first pass scintillometer survey with 25-meter spacing will cover the entire property, focusing on TZ1 and TZ2. Anomalous areas will be soil sampled and examined for bedrock with rock or Shaw drill sampling to follow.
Clive Massey, President & CEO of Atomic Minerals, commented, "We are excited to commence planning for our 2024 prospecting program at Archie Lake. This project represents a significant opportunity for Atomic Minerals, and we are confident that our systematic exploration approach will yield promising results. The use of advanced technology and meticulous planning underscores our commitment to uncovering the full potential of this uranium-rich region."
Archie Lake
Situated in northern Saskatchewan and straddling the southwestern edge of the Athabasca Basin, the Archie Lake Project lies contiguous to NexGen Energy's significant land package to the north, east, and west. NexGen's holdings in this area focus on repeats of its Arrow high-grade basement-hosted uranium deposit. The Athabasca Basin in Canada is renowned for hosting the vast majority of the world's high-grade uranium deposits. The Company is currently designing a multiphase exploration strategy to explore these target zones, with further details to be announced shortly.
