The Wollaston project is located just outside the margin of the underlying athabasca sandstone and is promising for subsurface-hosted unconformity-type uranium deposits (Eagle’s Point, Arrow).

Gravity crews have completed surveys of the main target areas to be drill tested (Figure 3). These surveys detect alteration halos surrounding potential uranium deposits associated with structures bounded by electromagnetic (EM) conductors.
