CAT Strategic Metals Completes Initial Airborne Geophysical Survey of Key Parts of Its South Preston Uranium Project in Canada’S Prolific Athabasca Basin.
CAT STRATEGIC METALS COMPLETES INITIAL AIRBORNE GEOPHYSICAL
SURVEY OF KEY PARTS OF ITS SOUTH PRESTON URANIUM PROJECT IN
CANADA’S PROLIFIC ATHABASCA BASIN.
VANCOUVER, BC July 5, 2022 - CAT Strategic Metals Corporation (CSE: CAT, OTC:
CATTF, FRA: 8CH) (“CAT” or the "Company") reports that, further to its news release
of April 13, 2022, announcing an airborne survey on the East Preston Project in
Canada’s prolific Athabasca Basin, the Company has completed a detailed helicopter-
borne geophysical survey over specific and carefully chosen portions of the Company's
flagship South Preston Uranium Property. The project is located on the south-western
margin of the Athabasca Basin approximately 35 km from the uranium deposits
discovered in the Patterson Lake South area by Fission Uranium Corp. (“Fission” or
"FCU") and NexGen Energy Ltd. (“NexGen” or "NXE").
CAT’s just completed survey totaled 984.7 line-kilometres covering two key target areas
that were identified by internationally recognized and acclaimed mining consultants,
Watts, Griffis and McOuat Limited ("WGM") which was engaged by the Company in
October, 2021 for the purpose of advising on, and managing, the exploration of the
South Preston property. CAT’s South Preston Uranium Project is comprised of 29,395
hectares, and shares more than 10km of the adjacent property border with NexGen, as
well as 50km of contiguous claim border with Azincourt Energy Corp. (“Azincourt” or
"AAZ")
The target areas that were surveyed have geological similarities that offer significant
potential for basement-hosted, unconformity-type uranium deposits; such as Fission’s
Triple R deposit and other deposits located in the eastern basin, such as Rabbit Lake.
The airborne EM and magnetometer survey was focused on the probable extension of
known graphitic conductors adjacent to the CAT property, some of which are associated
with areas of elevated background radioactivity and radioactive boulders. One survey
area covers a zone that was previously described as a graphitic shear zone containing
visible uranium mineralization in outcrop.
The CAT project area has never been explored in any systematic manner, and is almost
entirely untouched by modern geophysical survey techniques. Recent work by
Azincourt, CAT’s neighbour, has identified prospective zones on its own property, which
is primarily north of CAT’s property, immediately northwest of the CAT South Preston
Project. Prior to the most recent exploration work carried out by AAZ, Denison Mines
carried out various exploration activities in the 1970’s that was focused on the
Athabasca sandstone unconformity; which is largely, but not entirely, absent from CAT’s
South Preston property.
CAT’s initial airborne geophysical survey forms part of an integrated, multi-stage
exploration program designed to uncover the property’s true potential gong forward.
Following the interpretation of this airborne geophysical survey’s data in the coming
weeks, a WGM team will be mobilized and on the ground during August to conduct
follow-up exploration protocols which will focus on the highly favourable areas that were
identified in the most recent report compiled by WGM. This report was the result of
examining all of the previous, and various, data sets that – until now - were never
amalgamated into a single database. Of particular interest were those areas where
conductors are present, or evidence of uranium mineralization has been previously
described.
CAT’s CEO, Robert Rosner, stated that “This survey is the first step in a comprehensive
and ongoing exploration plan designed to uncover and determine the true nature, and
potential worth, of our large land position in the Athabasca Basin. We are very excited
to begin the exploration work that we have been wanting to do since we first acquired
this project last year. If the ongoing exploration results of our neighbour, Azincourt, are
any indication of what we might find on our own land, then we have every reason to be
even more excited.”
About WGM
Founded in 1962, WGM is Canada's longest operating independent firm of geological
and mining consultants providing professional services to the global minerals industry.
WGM has been involved in more than 3,000 mineral projects around the world, and its
staff has made significant contributions to a number of important mineral discoveries
and new mines. Notably among them are the Mary River iron deposits on Baffin Island,
Asbestos Hill in Quebec, the Greens Creek silver-gold-zinc mine and the Pogo gold
mine; both in Alaska. As acknowledged by Cominco (now Teck), WGM played a major
role in the recognition of the massive Red Dog Pb-Zn mine in Alaska as a very high-
priority exploration target.
