Trench Metals Corp. (TSXV: TMC) has unveiled the details of its 2023 prospecting programme at the company’s Higginson Lake Uranium Project in the Athabasca Basin in Northern Saskatchewan.
The programme seeks to capitalise on the success of the 2022 programme, which yielded promising results at the Peterson Rapids Showing.
The Peterson Rapids Showing, situated just southeast of the rapids between Peterson and Higginson Lake, approximately 11.3 km southeast of Charlebois Lake, exhibited promising indicators during last year’s campaign. As a result, Trench Metals is set to undertake extensive subsequent activities to delve deeper into this prospective zone.
Additionally, the company will broaden its investigative scope to incorporate the Charlebois Lake Showings and Dianne Uranium Showings, situated about seven km southeast of the Higginson Lake Uranium Project. The company believes these regions present significant potential for uranium deposits and warrant thorough examination to uncover their true resource potential.
The company’s 2023 Prospecting program will employ cutting-edge technology, utilizing state-of-the-art scintillometers. These advanced instruments will play a vital role in identifying high-priority targets for trenching and drilling.
CEO, Simon Cheng, said the company aims to maximize efficiency and expedite the exploration process by employing man-portable drills.
“We are pleased to announce our comprehensive work programme for the Higginson Lake Uranium Project in Northern Saskatchewan,” he said.
“Building upon the positive results from our 2022 programme, we are confident that the upcoming prospecting activities, aided by advanced scintillometers, will allow us to identify prospective targets and unlock the potential of this highly prospective region.”
The Higginson Lake Uranium Project hosts two historic drill-indicated reserves totalling 4,800,000lbs of U308. And the Gorilla Lake Uranium Project comprises nearly 7000 hectares in the Northern Mining District of Saskatchewan near the Shea Creek uranium deposit. The Athabasca District is home to the highest grade of uranium deposits in the world and accounts for 18% of global uranium production.
