CANADA'S URANIUM MARKET
Canada stands at the forefront of the global uranium industry, renowned for its rich deposits and pioneering efforts in nuclear energy. With vast reserves and a commitment to sustainable development, Canada plays a pivotal role in meeting global energy demands while adhering to rigorous environmental standards.
Canada boasts some of the world's largest and highest-grade uranium deposits, primarily located in the Athabasca Basin of northern Saskatchewan. This region is recognized for its exceptional uranium concentration, making it a cornerstone of Canada's uranium production. The geological advantages of the Athabasca Basin ensure that Canada remains a key player in the global uranium market, with significant potential for future discoveries.
The Ford Lake project consists of three claims covering an area of 7,431 hectares in the prolific Eastern Athabasca Basin near the margin of the Mudjuik and Wollaston Domains. Ford Lake is prospectively highlighted by the recent CanAlaska Uranium Ltd. high-grade discovery hole at Moon Lake only 10km to the northeast. The uranium endowment of the area is proven by the significant deposits of the Key Lake Mine only 15km to the southeast and less than 20km from Cameco Corp.’s Millennium deposit, and less than 20km from Denison Mines Corp.’s Gryphon and Phoenix deposits with uranium mineral reserves of 106.4 Mlbs (Million Pounds) U3O8.12
