Drilling Underway at Gibbons Creek Property, Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan

02.12.2015  |  CNW

TSXv: AL   FSE: 6LLN   OTCQX: ALXEF

VANCOUVER, Dec. 1, 2015 /CNW/ - ALX Uranium Corp. ("ALX" or the "Company") (TSXv: AL; FSE: 6LLN; OTCQX: ALXEF) is pleased to announce that drilling is underway at its Gibbons Creek Property ("Gibbons Creek" or the "Property"), located along the northern margin of the Athabasca Basin in northern Saskatchewan.

Planned are approximately 1,200 to 1,500 metres of drilling in six to eight drill holes.  Previously intersected uranium mineralization by ALX is near-surface at Gibbons Creek (see Lakeland News Release dated May 1st, 2015).  Drill holes will be less than 200 metres long.  Overburden is generally fifteen metres, and depth to the unconformity is generally less than 70 metres.  The target area is approximately three kilometres from Highway 905.  The program has excellent road access and is expected to take three weeks to complete.

Summary figures are compiled into a single pdf file on the Company's website at www.alxuranium.com

The drill program at Gibbons Creek is a continuation of extensive exploration during the past three years, advancing an integrated target including data from:

  • Ground gravity surveys completed in February and October, 2015 (See ALX News Release: November 12th, 2015). A high contrast gravity low feature overlaps the northern part of a large radon anomaly.
  • Radon surveys completed in 2013 and 2015 (See ALX News Release: October 27th, 2015). A large anomaly comprising 77 samples covers approximately 1,200 metres by 500 metres. Peak radon values ranging between 4 and 10.77 pCi/m2/sec at ten locations, which are amongst the highest recorded values in the Athabasca Basin.
  • DC Resistivity survey completed in 2013 (see Lakeland News Release dated October 2nd, 2013. A resistivity low is coincident with the large radon anomaly.
  • Historic airborne EM survey in 1979, augmenting ground-based EM surveys from the late 1970s. A central conductor is a specific target within the gravity low and resistivity low.

This drill program follows up on encouraging results from the winter program completed in March, 2015.  Drill hole GC15-03 intersected 0.13% U3O8 over 0.23 metres in a gravity low located approximately 500 metres to the south of the current target (see Lakeland News Release dated May 1st, 2015).  Diamond drill hole GC15-06 was located at the edge of the large radon anomaly and gravity low targeted for this program and encountered strongly anomalous geochemical pathfinders (B, Pb, Ni, Co, Cu) within both the sandstone and alteration within the basement lithologies.
