Marvel Discovery Corp. (TSXV: MARV | Frankfurt: O4T | OTCQB: MARVF) has commenced a detailed regional and property specific structural geophysical interpretation of its Saskatchewan uranium projects, the Highway and KLR Zones. The interpretation includes advanced technology leveraging machine learning to transform the mineral discovery process.
The claims coincide with a regional-scale NNE-trending shear zone that forms the tectonic boundary between the Mudjatik and Wollaston Domain of the Hearne province. The shear zone can be mapped from regional aeromagnetic images and has a strike length of at least 400km extending beneath the Athabasca Basin. The highly prospective Athabasca Basin is home to numerous uranium deposits whose locations are controlled by the positions of major faults in the underlying crystalline basement rocks.
“Many of the deposits in the area occur because of structural traps and an understanding of the role these traps play on both a regional and property specific scale will be fundamental to our process of refining our drill-target selection,” Marvel CEO, Karim Rayani, commented.
“Utilizing state of the art technology and employing some of the best structural geologists and geophysicists in conjunction with advanced machine learning processes is something we regard as critical to help drive the discovery process as we prepare for our winter drilling campaign.”
Marvel is preparing for its next phase of drilling and is currently in preparation with drill contractors.
To date, the company has completed six holes totaling 1,343m with an average hole depth of 224m on the Highway and KLR Zones where the corporation holds 10,000ha of contiguous claims straddling the Key Lake Fault zone.
This first phase was designed to test the surface mineralization along the DD and Highway Zone and this programme was successful in that every hole interested radiation. Drilling during the phase two programme will target uranium mineralization down dip within the fault zones.
