Angilak Project, Nunavut
-
The Angilak property is 250,000 acres and hosts the historic, near surface and high-grade Lac Cinquante Deposit which is reported to contain 11.6 million pounds of uranium (non National Instrument 43-101 compliant) with grades averaging 1.03% U3O8**
-
As part of a landmark agreement between Kaminak and NTI ( see Kaminak Press Release January 31st, 2008), Kaminak / Kivalliq became the first company to be awarded the right to explore for uranium on privately-held Inuit Owned Land in Nunavut. NTI is responsible for the management of all Inuit-Owned Lands in Nunavut and acts as the advocate of Inuit interests in Nunavut.
- BOG Showings
-
The 2007 exploration program reported separate outcrop grab samples from the BOG occurrence yielding up to 2.45% Cu and 0.22% U3O8, respectively. Distinctive zonation of copper, silver and uranium was established at outcrop scale.
-
The BOG trend is intermittently exposed over at least 5,000m and varies in width from 50m to 150m. Within this zone, Archean basement gneisses are intensely hematite altered, brecciated and cut by quartz stockwork veining associated with feldspar porphyry intrusions. High-grade uranium showings (with or without copper, molybdenum and silver) occur in outcrop and boulders along the entire 5,000m long BOG trend.
-
Noranda identified at least ten showings with grades of 0.10% U3O8 or higher along a 1,000m long segment of the BOG trend. Noranda subsequently drilled several shallow holes over 100m of strike length and intersected thick intervals of brecciated hematite alteration and silicification in each hole. The most easterly hole intersected 0.22% over U3O8 over 1.0m and remains open. Separate work along the northeastern extent of the BOG trend by Pan Ocean yielded an outcrop grab sample assay of 9.81% U3O8, 0.73% Cu, 0.792% MoS2 and 3.70 oz/ton Ag. Nearby historical grab samples also yielded high-grade results, including: 2.14% U3O8 and 0.22% MoS2 (outcrop) and 3.97% U3O8 (boulder). No previous drilling is reported in this area.
- 2007 Exploration Program Highlights
-
The YAT uranium occurrences are located 8km south of the BOG trend and are comprised of a number of vein-type showings co-incident with northeast trending geophysical and geochemical anomalies. The main showing was discovered by Pan Ocean Oil in the late 1970’s and consists of strongly hematized and chloritized fractures hosted in conglomerates. Historical grab samples from occurrence “6” yielded 2.88% U3O8, 5.37% Cu and 0.11% MoS2 and historical samples from occurrence “5” assayed 0.94% U3O8, 0.67% Cu and 0.09% MoS2. No previous drilling is reported from the YAT area.
- REV Showings
-
The REV area is located 10km east of the BOG trend and is characterized by several vein-type uranium occurrences hosted in sheared Archean basement rocks. Historical sampling by Noranda revealed assays of 0.36% U3O8, 0.31% U3O8 and 0.11% U3O8 from separate outcrop showings. Limited follow-up work is reported on these prospects.
** The quoted disclosure for the Lac Cinquante Uranium Deposit was prepared by Aberford Resources Ltd. The deposit is historical and should not be relied upon since it is not compliant to standards set out in National Instrument 43-101. However, it is relevant because: it is indicative of a mineralized zone worthy of follow up exploration as it is based on drilling exploration and development carried out by what is believed to be knowledgeable explorers in accordance with acceptable industry practices at the time of the estimate. A Qualified Person has not classified historical estimates as current mineral resources/reserves, and Kaminak is not treating them as current mineral resources/reserves since work to date has not verified the historical estimates. Kaminak has not done any work to confirm these estimates but will be planning exploration programs aimed at evaluating the economic potential of the deposit and environs. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the deposit being delineated as a mineral resource
