Marvel Discovery has announced a follow-up drill program at the KLR-Walker uranium project in the Athabasca Basin targeting the DD Zone and Highway Zone.
The Phase II program comes after a total of 1,343 metres (m) of drilling across six diamond drill holes was completed during the Spring of 2023, which intersected 841 parts per million (ppm) triuranium octoxide (U3O8), a compound of uranium, over 1.07m at the DD Zone and 553 ppm U3O8 over 1.89m at the Highway Zone.
The four-hole program totalling approximately 2,400m will target uranium mineralization down-dip within the fault zones, Marvel said.
The start date of the program is yet to be determined.
"The company is extremely excited about the 2023 Phase II program,” said Marvel CEO Karim Rayani in a statement.
“We have successfully followed up on historical surface and backpack uranium mineralization along key structures with Phase I. Our Phase II program is to test these structures and associated uranium mineralization at depth to unlock the potential presence of a Tier I uranium discovery."
Marvel Discovery is a Canadian-based emerging resources company. It is systematically exploring its extensive property positions in Newfoundland, Ontario, Quebec, and British Columbia.
