Geochemical data from drill cores sampled at the Darwin core logging facility April 2011

Abstract

The purpose of this brief report is to describe the highlights of a core review and subsequent geochemical work completed by the author on Coronation Hill deposit drill cores at the NTGS core storage facility in Darwin on April 21st , 2011. One mineralized drill hole CH-69 (167 m long)was reviewed (Appendix I)and ten core samples were collected. Follow-up geochemical analyses were completed by the Saskatchewan Research Council's (SRC)Geoanalytical Laboratory, located Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. Results are included in Appendix II. The samples were subjected to SRC's multi-element ICP Uranium exploration as well as their gold and precious metals packages. The objective of the core review was to become more familiar with the geological setting of the Coronation Hill deposit. This deposit is one, in a group, of uranium deposits that are being studied as part of the 'Successor Basin' study comparing the pre-Athabasca Group Martin Group Basin in the Beaverlodge area of Saskatchewan to the pre-Kombolgie Group El Sherana Group rocks of the Pine Creek Geosyncline. The Coronation Hill deposit was selected, by this author, as being representative of deposits hosted by the El Sherana Group. The Successor Basin study is being carried out by Dr K. Kyser and Serigne Dieng of Queens University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada.
