SASKATCHEWAN – Vancouver-based
Forum Uranium has drilled eight widely spaced holes to confirm the potential of a strong, 10-km electromagnetic conductor on its Highrock uranium project near Key Lake. The company says this is the same unit that hosts the former Key Lake mine 15 km to the north.

Forum targeted its drilling along a series of gravity lows and several major cross-cutting structures along a graphitic conductor. Holes HR-05, 06 and 07 intersected zones of strong tectonization and alteration. Hole HR-08 tested a very strong gravity low at the north end of the property and encountered weak alteration along a strong conductor. Future drilling will target this northern part of the property where it borders the Key Lake property.
Core samples are undergoing geochemical analysis by the
Saskatchewan Research Council for uranium, boron and associated elements. Six of the samples will also be tested for gold.
