Power One strikes gold in historic uranium territory

Power One Resources ( TSXV: PWRO) revealed the first-ever exploration of gold mineralization at its Pecors residential or commercial property, situated around 10 kilometres eastern of Elliot Lake, Ontario. This substantial searching for expands the task’s expedition range, which has actually traditionally concentrated on uranium and base steels.

” This is a game-changer for Pecors,” Dr. Wazir Khan, business chief executive officer specified, highlighting the rarity of recognizing gold on a home with a uranium tradition.

Power One manages among the biggest adjoining land bundles in the Elliot Lake area, an area renowned for its abundant background in uranium mining and significantly acknowledged for vital and rare-earth elements. Along with uranium, the existence of nickel, copper, platinum team steels (PGMs), and unusual planet aspects (REEs) boosts the residential or commercial property’s polymetallic capacity.

The business’s 2023 drill program at Pecors at first targeted superficial, near-surface REE down payments. Nonetheless, throughout this program, piercing all of a sudden ran into a gold-bearing system, noting a historical landmark as the initial gold exploration on the residential or commercial property.

The drill program itself showed amazing outcomes, with highlights consisting of 1.025 g/t gold over 1.5 metres in opening P02401, beginning at 242 metres downhole, together with several strange intercepts varying from 0.035 to 1.25 g/t gold in opening P02403.

This gold exploration comes with a tactical time in the middle of record-high gold rates, sustained by rising cost of living, international instability and reserve bank acquisitions. “Gold is remaining to surpass, and this exploration includes a brand-new layer of capacity at Pecors,” Khan said, showing that the task remains in the onset of what seems a large, polyphase system.

Pecors crosses an 18 kilometres by 4 kilometres magnetic abnormality within the traditionally substantial Elliot Lake uranium camp, called among Canada’s the majority of respected uranium areas. The area created over 300 million pound. of U FIVE O Eight from the 1950s with the 1990s, and was as soon as an international leader in uranium manufacturing. Nonetheless, in 1959, the USA revealed strategies to reduce all Canadian uranium imports by 1962, affecting regional mining procedures.

Power One kept in mind the existence of a historic, non-NI 43-101 uranium source approximated by Rio Tinto in 1977, consisting of roughly 20 million tonnes rating 0.037% U FIVE O EIGHT, corresponding to regarding 14.8 million pound. of U FIVE O EIGHT.

Along with gold, validated mineralization consists of nickel, copper and PGMs. The residential or commercial property additionally reveals prospective for unusual planet aspects straightened with neighboring well-known REE areas and tips of hydrocarbon existence, improving its total polymetallic capacity.

The Pecors residential or commercial property is purposefully situated simply eastern of the Eco Ridge down payment, which is held in the exact same development and consists of well-known mineralization of uranium, yttrium and light REEs. Possessed by Radio Fuels Resources, the Eco Ridge down payment supplies substantial tactical benefit for Power One, as its geological and architectural resemblances can show the capacity for comparable polymetallic systems.

Moving forward, Power One strategies to re-log and re-sample the drill core to improve its geological understanding of the polymetallic system, and to carry out additional tasting of the gold-bearing area.
