- The release details historical mineralization data for 14 SMDI occurrences within the Don Lake-Smitty area, including past-producing mines and high-grade grab samples, alongside updates on permitting and airborne geophysical surveys.
Key Details
- Project Expansion:
- Don Lake-Smitty Projects: Now cover 4,055 hectares total, including 14 SMDI uranium occurrences. This includes an addition of 2,649 hectares of contiguous claims.
- Beaver River Project: Now covers 3,033 hectares total, with an addition of 1,578 hectares.
- Source: Seven dispositions recently acquired by staking in the Uranium City area by Eagle Plains.
- Historical Mineralization Data (Don Lake-Smitty Area):
- Beta Gamma Mine (SMDI 1394): Past-producing mine. Historical underground development (1953-1955) shipped ~150 tons at 0.22%–0.77% U3O8. 2013 resampling by Pelican Minerals returned grab samples up to 0.77% U3O8.
- Tobe Mine (SMDI 1476): 1968 drill intercept of 0.07% U3O8 over 0.9m. 1968 bulk sample of 54kg shipped with estimated grade of 60% U3O8.
- Beta Gamma Consolidated (SMDI 1399): 1959 bulk sample of 10 tons shipped to Lorado mill.
- West Showing (SMDI 1398): 1953-1954 drill best intercept of 3.2% U3O8 over 37cm. 1970 trench chip samples included 4.3% U3O8 over 25.4cm and 1.3% U3O8 over 40.7cm.
- Radiometric Anomaly No. 86 (SMDI 2113): 1975 trench exposed pitchblende. 2013 resampling returned grab samples up to 1.89% U3O8 and 1.46% U3O8.
- Aurora Yellowknife Showing (SMDI 1411): 1950 grab samples returned 0.01% to 18.20% U3O8.
- Permitting:
- Applications submitted to the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment for Class 2 exploration permits for all Uranium City projects.
- Permits allow for ground-based geophysics, temporary work camps, and diamond drilling.
- Geophysics:
- Final deliverables received from 2025 Geotech airborne VTEM Plus survey.
- Total survey coverage: 697 line kilometres.
- Data sent to Condor Consulting Inc. for modeling/interpretation to refine drill targets.
- Regional Context:
- Projects located in the Beaverlodge district, the first uranium producer in Canada (historic production ~70.25 million lbs U3O8, 1950-1982).
- Area has seen limited exploration since the early 1990s.
- Disclaimer: Historical results were not verified by a qualified person and are not indicative of future results.
Notable Quotes
- "Xcite Resources is an early-stage exploration company working to become a leader in the discovery and development of energy transition metals. The uranium project portfolio in the Athabasca basin will propel the company's efforts to achieve a high-grade discovery based on new geological modelling and exploration thesis in a past-producing uranium camp dormant for 40 years."
