Description:
The Alberta Sun property is underlain by Cretaceous to Tertiary marine and non-marine sandstones and tuffs. The geological target is sandstone-hosted "roll front" uranium deposits, similar to those mined in Wyoming.
Surface Exploration
Fieldwork at Alberta Sun has produced a number of positive indicators for this type of deposit, including:
Scintillometer readings of up to 1,250 cps (counts per second).
Visible alteration, shale beds and abundant hematite and carbonaceous material within the sandstone unit.
Composite grab samples of isolated organic debris returned up to 7,640 ppm uranium (0.901% U3O8).
Grab samples of sandstone from a separate area 40 kilometres southeast returned 57 to 150 ppm uranium.
Elevated vanadium, arsenic and lead values (important indicators of sandstone-hosted uranium) occur at both areas.
