NexGen Energy drilling at Arrow produces strongest and shallowest mineralization to date. Recent drill results revealed today in a press release by Canadian-based NexGen Energy showed exciting potential at the Arrow uranium project in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan. Featuring nine widely spaced holes, 5 with off-scale radioactivity, and very clear strike and width dimensions provided. To get volumetric tonnage potential, simple calculations suggest that a 515 meter strike, 180 meter width, a depth of 50 meter (most intervals have run 50 meters plus of total composite mineralization) and assuming a specific gravity of 2.5, tonnage may be large, even though only 22 holes have been drilled to date.
This may be another example of a potential robotic mining project in the Athabasca Basin, because of the extremely high grade of the uranium mineralization.
