Alpha Exploration's Winter Program at Middle Lake, Athabasca Basin, Northern Saskatchewan has Drilling Underway
MWH Geo-Surveys Ltd. of Vernon, BC has completed an approximate 1800 station gravity survey on three different grids. Newmac Industries Ltd. of Prince Albert, SK has been contracted for a 20-hole, 2,000 m diamond drill program to test gravity, EM conductors, and geochemical (radon and helium).
The exploration target at Middle Lake is shallow, high-grade uranium mineralization hosted in basement rocks at approximately 10 to 20 meters below surface (ie. below glacial till and sediments). Drill targets are northeast (up-ice) from two historical uranium boulder and radon trains discovered in the 1970's by AREVA. The recent gravity survey has delineated prospective gravity low targets that are coincident with VTEM and historical EM conductors, favourable magnetic transitions, and geochemical (radon and helium) anomalies.
