Mont-Laurier
Overview
The 2,353ha road accessible Mont-Laurier project lies 40km NE of Mont Laurier. Exploration in the 1960's identified historic mineral resources at three deposits in the area. Mapping, sampling and diamond drilling identified a number of anomalous uranium values that were never followed up, including within the current Mont Laurier property boundaries. Uranium mineralization at Mont Laurier is hosted within gently dipping metasediments and metamorphic rocks.
Historic Resource Estimates
- Zone 1 (8.37 Mt @ 0.021%)
- Zone 2 (2.61 Mt @ 0.019%)
- Zone 3 (2.34 Mt @ 0.014%)
- Meekos (0.52 Mt @ 0.054%)
- Tom Dick (2.50 Mt @ 0.040%)
- Tom Dick Nord (0.30 Mt @ 0.027%)
All of the historic estimates are relevant as they attest to the potential of the Mont Laurier area and are assumed to be reliable as they were completed to the standards of the day. All of the above historic estimates would be considered inferred resource under NI 43-101. In all cases, verification of the historic drilling by twinning a series of holes would be required to verify each of the historic resource estimates. A Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify these historic resources as current mineral resources, and Atomic Minerals is not treating these historic estimates as current mineral resources.
1. Report on the Properties of Allied Mining Corporation and United Asbestos Corporation Limited, Leman Township, Montcalm County by J.D. Hagan March 31, 1970. (https://gq.mines.gouv.qc.ca/documents/EXAMINE/GM26044/)
The Allied historic estimates are based on 34 drill holes, totaling 5,091 feet (1,551.7 metres). The only key assumption, parameter or method provided in the report is that historic resources were calculated using cross sections.
