ALX Uranium Corp. Announces Results of Drilling Program at Gorilla Lake Property, Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan

02.05.2017  |  FSCwire

Vancouver, B.C. (FSCwire) - ALX Uranium Corp. (“ALX” or the “Company”) (TSXV: AL; FSE: 6LLN; OTC: ALXEF) announced today the results of a diamond drilling program at the Gorilla Lake property (“Gorilla Lake”, or the “Property”) in the western Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan. The drilling program consisted of four holes totaling 1,116 metres and was carried out in March 2017.

Three holes (GL17-001 to GL17-003) were drilled in the northern portion of the Property to follow up on basement-hosted uranium mineralization that was previously intersected in historical holes CLU-01 (0.46% U3O8 over 1.5 metres) and CLU-07 (0.17% U3O8 over 7.0 metres) drilled in 2006. The historical uranium mineralization was associated with numerous conductors, as defined by airborne and ground electromagnetic surveys and was coincident with a distinct northeast-trending gravity low highlighted from a ground gravity survey conducted in the winter of 2016. In addition, one hole (GL17-004) tested an airborne electromagnetic anomaly approximately 1,500 metres south of Gorilla Lake coincident within a distinct northeast-southwest striking gravity low. Three of the 2017 drill holes showed narrow intervals containing anomalous values of uranium and other pathfinder elements as well as elevated radioactivity. Geochemical results are shown in Table 1, below.

About Gorilla Lake

The Gorilla Lake property consists of two contiguous mineral claims totaling 7,552 ha (18,661 acres) within the Carswell Impact Structure in the western portion of the Athabasca Basin, northern Saskatchewan. Geology of the Cluff Lake area can be “reversed” in comparison to other areas of the Athabasca Basin, i.e., basement rocks are found overlying sandstone, due to the effects of an interpreted meteor impact on the local geology.

The Property is held 80% by ALX with Logan Resources Ltd. (TSXV: LGR) having a 20% carried interest.  ALX is the operator of the Property.

Gorilla Lake is one of ALX’s Cluff Lake group of three contiguous properties adjoining the former Cluff Lake mine site, where over 62 million pounds of U3O8 were extracted during a 22-year operating life through a combination of three open pit mines and four underground mines by predecessor companies of AREVA Resources Canada Inc.

National Instrument 43-101 Disclosure

All drill holes were surveyed with a Mount Sopris 2PGA radiometric gamma probe.  Core samples for geochemistry were collected systematically through all drill holes.  Samples were shipped in sealed containers and submitted to the laboratories of the Saskatchewan Research Council in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, an ISO/IEC 17025:2005 (CAAN-P-4E) certified laboratory, for geochemical analysis using the Uranium ICP Package. This analytical package is the preferred analytical technique for uranium exploration in the Athabasca Basin. The technical information in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Sierd Eriks, P.Geo., President and CEO of the Company, who is a Qualified Person in accordance with the Canadian regulatory requirements set out in National Instrument 43-101.
