Mining advantages
Open Pit Mining
- Proximity to population
- Location in a historic mining district
- Open pit mining
- CAMECO facilities in either Port Hope or Blind River, Ontario are potential puchasers for uranium.
Metallurgical advantages
- 10 ton bulk sample metallurgy indicated:
- Low cost grinding due to limestone host
- 87% recovery of uranium by simple, low cost gravity concentration
Final report at end of three year program by Northern Nuclear Inc. (1967-1969) estimates a minimum resource potential of 1,800,000 lbs Uranium.
