Generation Uranium Initiates Permitting Process on its Flagship Yath Uranium Project in Nunavut, Canada
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada – August 15th, 2024, Generation Uranium Inc. (the “Company” or “Generation”) (TSXV: GEN) (OTCQB: GENRF) (FSE: W85) is pleased to announce that, in preparation for an upcoming diamond drill program in 2025, the Company has initiated the permitting process to engage in advanced exploration activities on its flagship Yath Uranium Project (“Yath”) located in Nunavut, Canada. The applications include the recent acquisitions of the Yellow Frog and Pink Toad Uranium Projects, contiguous extensions to Yath on the Angilak Trend in the Yathkyed Basin.
Through APEX Geoscience Ltd., the Company is preparing a multi-year permit application for drilling, camp, and water use, which will be submitted to the Land Use Permit office through Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada for approval. The application will include provisions for a base camp accommodating 10-15 individuals, who will commence prospecting on the property to follow up on historical results, conduct mapping, and identify the locations of previous drill hole collars as permitting allows.
"We are thrilled to be at the cusp of heightened exploration activities at Yath," said CEO Anthony Zelen. "We look forward to moving swiftly with our team once the necessary approvals are in place."
Historic surface sampling conducted by Pan Ocean Oil Ltd. in 1981 yielded uranium values of 9.81%, 3.95%, and 2.14% U3O8 within surface float boulders. More recent field work by Kivalliq Energy between 2010-2012 returned 14 rock samples with U3O8 values ranging from 1% to 10%, concentrated around fault lines and basin unconformities. Notable concentrations of high-grade samples aligning with regional fault lines, as corroborated by a 2012 seismic line indicating a VGR trend, affirm the findings from the 1970’s and 1980’s, underscoring the substantial uranium mineralization potential within the zone.
The Company believes that Yath remains uniquely positioned within the Yathkyed Basin, one of a few global unconformity basins with proven economic potential. The Basin is renowned for hosting commercial grade deposits comparable in scale to the Athabasca Basin in the Canadian Shield of northern Saskatchewan and Alberta, Canada, and McArthur district in Australia*.
