Rodney Koch, P. Geo, Vice-President Exploration Canada for Titan and geophysicist with rich experience in Athabasca basin has announced the new drill program on the Border Block project which is located in the southwest area of the Athabasca Basin, near the Alberta border.
The planned program consists of approximately 1,500 metres of diamond drilling to test prospective targets identified by recently completed (Spring 2010) SQUID Time Domain ElectroMagnetic (TDEM) and D.C. Resistivity surveys. D.C. Resistivity is the geophysical technique of choice in the Athabasca Basin due to its ability to image hydrothermal alteration systems, which form resistivity “chimneys”, often associated with fault zones and unconformity-type uranium deposits. The project (76,354 hectares/188,675 acres) covers an area where historic exploration data identified favourable basement rocks capable of hosting uranium mineralization.
