- F3 Uranium Corp (OTCQB: FUUFF) expands Tetra Zone's mineralized strike length to 1.2 kilometers.
- Historic drill hole PAT-16-002 reveals high-grade uranium mineralization of 423ppm over 0.5 meters.
- Findings suggest potential for an expansive mineralized system, enhancing discovery potential.
F3 Uranium Corp (OTCQB: FUUFF) has announced a significant expansion of the mineralized strike length of its Tetra Zone system to 1.2 kilometers, based on recent geochemical analysis of historic drill holes on the Broach property. The breakthrough came from re-logging and assessing drill hole PAT-16-002, which returned 423ppm of uranium over a 0.5-meter interval, marking the highest uranium value ever recorded in a single core sample from the PLN Project outside the JR and Tetra Zones.
The reanalysis highlighted intense clay alteration and bleaching around the Athabasca Unconformity, particularly noted in drill hole PAT-16-002, which reported notable results of 5.5 meters at 63ppm uranium, including a 0.5-meter interval at 423ppm uranium. These findings, combined with the similarity in lithologies and alteration styles along the 1.2 km distance, indicate the potential for a substantial mineralized system extending along strike from the Tetra Zone.
This development follows a comprehensive re-logging of historic drill holes, including PAT-15-001, PAT-16-002, and PAT-16-004, where intense bleaching and alteration patterns were observed—features commonly associated with uranium mineralization. The assays were conducted in accordance with F3's internal sampling procedures, with further geological investigation ongoing as drilling progresses.
The Patterson Lake North (PLN) Project, owned entirely by F3 Uranium Corp, is strategically located in the Athabasca Basin, known for housing some of the world's largest high-grade uranium deposits. The project consists of several properties, including the Broach property hosting the newly discovered Tetra Zone, anticipated to significantly bolster the region's potential for uranium exploration and development.
