Uranium exploration in the Athabasca Basin using low-noise airborne gravity gradient data

Abstract

The Athabasca Basin, northern Saskatchewan, Canada, is renowned for the largest, high-grade uranium deposits in the world. Historically, most of the deposits have been discovered within the Basin with as much as 700 metres of overlying sandstone cover. A new generation of shallow, basement-hosted deposits are currently being explored for near the margins and outside of the Basin. We will show examples of low-noise airborne gravity gradient data, and how it is sensitive to zones of hydrothermal alteration which could be indicative of uranium fertile fluid systems. The gravity gradient data was combined with structural interpretations of airborne magnetic and EM data to highlight prospective drill targets.
