The claims encompass approximately 24.73 sq. km. The Company can earn a 100% interest in the property by making cash payments of $35,000 and 125,000 shares in the first year and a total of $220,000 and 750,000 shares over 4 years, expending $1,000,000 over three years in work commitments; the property is subject to a 2.5% net smelter royalty. The complete Option Agreement can be viewed as part of the Company's Edgar filings.
Property Description
Exploration, including geological mapping, rock sampling, trenching and shallow drilling resulted in the estimation of a historical uranium resource which requires verification to conform to Canadian NI 43-101 geological reporting standards. Before these standards were initiated, previous work on the property, done by Aguanish Uranium Inc., Noranda and Lacana Mining, was successful in locating and partially exposing several potential target areas, including the Doran East Centre target where three holes were drilled 14 feet apart with cores returning values of 6.4, 6.4 and 9.2 Lbs. Per ton U3 O8.
Exploration Potential
The Company is enthusiastic about the Doran Project's multiple targets of uranium mineralisation and the spots of higher-grade material; as well, shallow drilling and sampling of fresh sub-surface material indicates that the actual uranium grade may be higher below the surface.
