Gravity Survey Complete and Drilling Planned at Gibbons Creek Property, Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan
ALX Uranium Corp. (“ALX” or the “Company”) (TSXv: AL; FSE: 6LLN; OTCQX: ALXEF) is pleased to announce the following exploration update for its Gibbons Creek Property (“Gibbons Creek” or the “Property”), located along the northern margin of the prolific Athabasca Basin in northern Saskatchewan.
A gravity survey was recently completed on the Property with the objective of providing coverage across the expanded radon anomaly (approximately 1,200 metres by 500 metres) at the Centre Zone (See News Release: October 27th, 2015). In addition, coverage was expanded to the south where a previous ground gravity survey was completed at the South Zone in the winter of 2015.
The recent gravity survey identified a saddle-like depression centered within a gravity high located directly beneath the central portions of the radon anomaly. Additional distinct and closed gravity lows were identified approximately 500 metres north of hole GC15-03 which intersected 0.13% U3O8 over 0.23 metres.
The exploration target at Centre Zone possesses the following attributes:
- A surface radon anomaly encompassing an area of approximately 1,200 metres by 500 metres;
- Peak radon values ranging between 4 and 10.77 pCi/m2/sec at 10 locations, which are amongst the highest recorded values in the Athabasca Basin;
- A coincident DC-resistivity low anomaly;
- A saddle-like depression (gravity low) located within the central part of the anomaly;
- Depth to the sub-Athabasca unconformity is estimated at only 40 to 70 metres; and
- Diamond drill hole GC15-06 located at the edge of the currently known radon anomaly, which encountered strongly altered basement lithologies and anomalous geochemical pathfinders within the sandstone and basement.
Exploration Plans:
Results of the recent surveys will aid in selecting drill hole locations for a diamond drill program anticipated to be completed before calendar year end.
