This area is home to many of the largest uranium deposits on earth and recently some of the largest new discoveries. This prospect is located in-between Fissions' Patterson discovery, the Pure Point discovery and NexGen. Recently there has been a renewed global interest in the Athabasca basin, as NexGen's discovery has increased in size dramatically and Fission received a cash infusion from CGN Mining Company Ltd.
