Spur Project

Figure 1: Overview of Yellowstone Property - Mustang Energy (3), (4), (5), (7), (8)
Highlights
-
Ownership: 100% owned by Mustang Energy
-
Size: 17,929 hectares consisting of 9 mineral claims over four separate blocks.
-
Location:
-
Approximately 40 km southeast of Cameco’s Key Lake Mill, a major uranium processing facility.
-
20 kilometers southwest of Skyharbour Resources/Terra Clean Energy’s Fraser Lakes Zone B deposit (2015 NI 43-101 inferred resource: 7.0 million lbs U₃O₈ @ 0.03% and 5.3 million lbs ThO₂ @ 0.023%).
-
-
Geological Potential:
-
Adjacent to high-grade Uranium Occurrences: Notable results from adjacent areas (see figure 1) include:
-
4.4% U₃O₈ from Trench Lake area “C” (Rath, 1969 – sample R69-10) (1)
-
8.0% U₃O₈ and 2.00% ThO₂ from sample (R69-17) containing uraninite at North Pipe Lake (SMDI 1005) (5)
-
2.01% U₃O₈ from Vee Lake trench (SMDI 1003) (3)
-
-
In addition to potential basement-hosted uranium deposits, the region features uraniferous granitic pegmatites with associated REE’s and base metals that exhibit Rössing-type mineralization (2).
-
Comparable geological features to high-grade uranium deposits such as Eagle Point, Millennium, and Key Lake, all of which derive resources from Wollaston Group basement lithologies.
-
-
Previous Work:
-
A 2007 GEOTEM survey provided partial property coverage and highlighted EM conductor trends correlating to graphitic pelitic gneisses and pegmatites, suggesting fertile basement-hosted uranium systems.
-
The property itself is significantly underexplored, however historical work including drilling, trenching, and lithogeochemical sampling on adjacent claims has identified numerous highly anomalous uranium, thorium, and REE occurrences.

Overview
The Spur Project comprises nine claims covering 17,929 hectares. It is located just south of the Athabasca Basin in northern Saskatchewan, a region globally renowned for its high-grade uranium deposits. The property is approximately 40 kilometers southeast of Cameco’s Key Lake Mill Operation and 20 kilometers southwest of Skyharbour Resources/Terra Clean Energy’s Fraser Lakes Zone B deposit. The Spur property’s unique geological setting combines Proterozoic basement rocks of the Wollaston Group and uraniferous pegmatites, presenting significant potential for uranium, thorium and rare earth element (REE) exploration. The project offers lower cost exploration due to the absence of Athabasca Sandstone cover. Adjacent Properties host high-grade surface grab samples including up to 8.0% U₃O₈ within pegmatite 2.5 km northeast of the Project boundary (SMDI 1005) (5).

Exploration Plan (Next Steps)
1. Data Refinement:
-
Reprocess and reimage 2007 GEOTEM data
2. Geophysical Surveys:
-
Complete high-resolution VTEM survey infilling blocks between 2007 GEOTEM surveys to identify conductors and prioritize targets for follow-up exploration
3. Ground-Based Exploration:
-
Detailed sampling and mapping program will follow to validate geophysical anomalies and refine drill targets
4. Drilling:
-
A maiden drill program will target coincident geophysical and geochemical anomalies, focusing on high-grade uranium, thorium, and REE potential.
