Wing Lake Uranium Property

Wing Lake Uranium Project Overview

  • Two contiguous mineral claims, covering 7,166.55 hectares​
  • Global Uranium owns 100% interest in the Wing Lake Uranium Property​
  • The Wing Lake Uranium Property is a property of merit with good potential to host a significant uranium mineralization ​
  • Located in the Athabasca Basin region​
  • The Wing Lake Uranium Project hosts Archean and Proterozoic-age metamorphic rocks of the Mudjatik Group rocks.

Wing Lake Uranium Project Location

  • The Wing Lake Uranium Project is located approximately 85 kilometers to the west of Northern Hamlet of Stony Rapids. Stony Rapids is connected to La Ronge and Saskatoon via Highway 905. ​
  • The Wing Lake Uranium Project is accessible by helicopter and an ice road during the winter months.​
  • Located in the Athabasca Basin region, putting the Wing Lake Uranium Project in a mining-friendly jurisdiction.​
  • The Wing Lake Uranium Project has existing infrastructure such as water and trained manpower, drilling contractors and geophysical survey services are available from La Ronge, Saskatoon.  ​

The Wing Lake Uranium Project Geology

  • Geologically, the Wing Lake Uranium Project is located in the eastern Athabasca Basin within the Mudjatik Domain of Hearne Geological Province. The Mudjatik Domain is a NE-trending fold and thrust belt, fault-bounded to the east by the Wollaston and to the west by the Virgin River Domains. ​
  • The Wing Lake Uranium Project area is underlain by three types of rocks which are:​
  • Unit MAg – Granite, leucogranite covering over 50 percent of the Wing Lake Uranium Project area
  • Unit Mcp – Mixed calc-silicate and pelitic gneiss which are mostly white- to light grey-weathering quartzofeldspathic gneisses​
  • Unit Mft – Tonalite migmatite complex is a medium- to coarse - grained, quartz-rich, granitic rock, but it is rarely pegmatitic and locally is slightly garnetiferous
  • Basement rocks in the area have undergone multiple deformation under upper amphibolite facies metamorphism. Locally, the rock units are strongly gneissoid, foliated or schistose. The metapelites and metasediments containing the pegmatites are resistive to weathering and form the ridges in the area. ​
  • Mineralization on the Wing Lake Uranium Project consists of an outcrop of pegmatite (SMDI 2140) which hosts secondary uranium minerals. Samples from this pegmatite returned a maximum assay value of 1,283 ppm U. The mineralization occurrence (SMDI 1619) also consists of radioactive pegmatite with assay values of 0.38% U3O8. ​

Historical Work

1948-1950 : Discovery and Exploration

  • Discovery of pitchblende along the Black Lake fault by Nisto Mines Limited
  • Several radiometric anomalies were discovered and active exploration begain in 1950

1969: Porcupine River Permit

  • Work included geological mapping, field prospecting using GRT-2 hand scintillometers and a Baird

1976-1982: Exploration Work

  • Work included lake sediment surveys, evaluation of anomalies, geological mapping, prospecting, an aerial photography study, and a Questor mark VI, Input survey
  • The work concluded that the highest uranium values occur in pegmatites in the area

1982-1983: Summer Field Season

  • A short mapping and prospecting program was carried out in the Porcupine Syncline
  • The results suggest that the Property boundaries embed a major portion of the Porcupine Syncline
  • Metapelite or semipelite (biotite-quartz-feldspar paragneiss) and carbonate metasediment are major rock types that make up the bulk of the Porcupine Syncline
  • The metasediments are resistant to weathering, they have formed the ridges that are so prominent in the Wing Lake Uranium Project
