Athabasca Nuclear Corporation Updates Yellowjacket Gold Project
Calgary, AB / TNW-ACCESSWIRE / December 1, 2014 / Athabasca Nuclear Corp. (TSX-V: ASC) ("Athabasca Nuclear" or the "Corporation") is pleased to provide an update on its Yellowjacket Gold Project, located near Atlin, British Columbia.
"Athabasca Nuclear is pleased to report submission of an independent dam safety review of its Yellowjacket Gold Project to the British Columbia Ministry of Energy and Mines. Coupled with recent extensions to mineral tenure associated with the project, and the fact that the vast majority of mineral claims comprising the Yellowjacket Gold Project are in good-standing through 2023, Athabasca Nuclear has significant flexibility in managing this property as market conditions for gold assets improve," stated Ryan Kalt, Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation.
Independent Inspection Report
The Yellowjacket Gold Project is permitted under the British Columbia Small Mines Act. The British Columbia Ministry of Mines and Energy recently ordered all permitted mine projects in British Columbia to undertake independent dam safety inspections (DSIs). To accomplish this independent review, Athabasca Nuclear engaged Tetra Tech EBA Inc., a leading worldwide engineering firm, to inspect, review and report on the Yellowjacket Mine Tailings Storage Facilities (the "Tetra Tech EBA Report"). Athabasca Nuclear is pleased to report that the independent Tetra Tech EBA Report concluded that "the facilities are considered stable in their present condition, no recommendations for future work are presented or required as a result of this DSI."
A complete copy of the Tetra Tech EBA Report is available on the Athabasca Nuclear website under the Yellowjacket project page, and will also be made available on SEDAR.
Mineral Tenure Update
The Corporation also reports that it has recently extended the mineral tenure term of three claims comprising part of the Yellowjacket Gold Project, claim #1015813, claim #1015814 and claim #1015816.
The Yellowjacket Gold Project currently consists of 20 mineral claims totaling approximately 5,079 ha, 2 placer claims totaling approximately 100 ha, and 1 placer lease totaling approximately 366 ha.
