Generation Uranium Identifies Conductive Fault Zone and Extends VGR Trend on Newly Acquired Projects
Vancouver - Generation Uranium Inc. (the "Company" or "Generation") (TSXV: GEN) (OTCQB: GENRF) (FSE: W85) is pleased to announce that the recent acquisitions of the Yellow Frog and Pink Toad Uranium Projects (the "Acquisitions") on the Angilak Trend in the Yathkyed Basin, Nunavut Territory, Canada resulted in the acquisition of a VIM Uranium Target and the extension of VGR trend. The new targets encompasses 39.25 line-kilometers of historical VLF ground geophysics and features a 2.5 km long conductive fault zone with surface anomalies of uranium, potentially linked to a magnetic high. In addition, the new Acquisitions have increased Generation's ownership in the VGR trend to the west. This VGR trend hosts several significant historical showings including the highly prospective VGR fault system, including 3 to 7 meter wide steeply-dipping carbonate/hematite veins and fractures containing uranium and sulphide mineralization in trachyandesite. Historical prospecting to the southwest along strike of the main VGR showing identified areas of alteration and uranium mineralization with values of 10% U308, extending the known mineralized trend.
"Our attainment of the VIM Uranium Target, along with the extension of the VGR trend, represents a potentially significant step forward for our exploration program," said CEO Anthony Zelen. "We look forward to further exploration activities on our newly acquired Yellow Frog and Pink Toad Projects once the necessary permitting is in place."
The VGR trend offers a promising potential environment for high-grade unconformity-type uranium mineralization on the property. The area's potential is based on a combination of geological and geophysical factors. These include its structural position in the Proterozoic basin, uranium mineralization associated with a clay-altered conductive fault zone and multiple strong gravity anomalies. These characteristics typically indicate the potential of unconformity-style uranium mineralization.
Following the Yellow Frog and Pink Toad Uranium Project acquisitions, Yath spans 123.45 km² and enlarges due north and within close proximity to the uranium project under advancement by ATHA Energy Corp.
