Xcite Resources Commences Airborne Geophysical Surveys at Uranium City Area Projects, Saskatchewan

XRI · Price
Executive Summary
- Xcite Resources Inc., together with partner Eagle Plains Resources Ltd., has commenced a helicopter‑borne VTEM Plus airborne geophysical survey over six Uranium City projects (Beaver River, Black Bay, Don Lake, Gulch, Lorado and Smitty).
- The survey will cover 697 line‑km, including infill lines on historically surveyed areas and new coverage, to delineate electromagnetic conductors, graphite‑rich pelites, and uranium‑related geochemistry.
- The projects lie in the historic Beaverlodge Uranium District, which previously produced ~70 million lbs U₃O₈; the company highlights strong structural, alteration and pathfinder element signatures suggesting potential for economic uranium mineralization.
Key Details
- Survey Contractor: Geotech Airborne Geophysical Surveys (VTEM Plus system).
- Scope: 697 line‑km of helicopter‑borne electromagnetic surveying split among the six projects.
- Objectives:
- Identify and map EM conductors linked to graphite‑rich pelites within major faults.
- Detect anomalous uranium geochemistry and radioactivity associated with graphitic fault zones.
- Provide data for hydrothermal alteration mapping and pathfinder element anomalies.
- Project Highlights:
- Outcropping NE‑SW trending tectonic fabric across all claims.
- Confirmed EM conductors interpreted as graphite‑rich pelites near major faults.
- Historical uranium endowment in both basement rocks and Athabasca basin cover rocks.
- Geological Context:
- Beaverlodge‑style deposits are structurally controlled, high‑grade vein/breccia fills in basement rock, often hosted at contacts with hematite, chlorite, graphite and pitchblende mineralization.
- Qualified Person: C.C. Downie, P.Geo., director/officer of Eagle Plains (NI 43‑101).
- Management Comment: CEO Jean‑François Meilleur emphasizes the survey’s role in advancing the company’s high‑grade uranium discovery thesis within a dormant but historically prolific district.
