Dark Star Minerals (CSE:BATT) has appointed Jeremey Hanson as the Vice President of Exploration to advance uranium development at its Bleasdell Lake Project Northern Saskatchewan, and the Ghost Lake Project in Labrador, Canada.
With more than 15 years of experience in mineral exploration, Hanson is a geoscientist that has been integral in numerous Canadian projects, including acting as President of Hardline Exploration and Director of Garibaldi Resources (CVE:GGI) and Carlyle Commodities (CSE:CCC), as well as technical advisor for Grid Battery Metals (CVE:CELL).
Hanson graduated with a Bachelor of Science Honours with distinction from Simon Fraser University.
CEO Marc Branson says Dark Star is thrilled to have Hanson on board to lead exploration at its two uranium projects.
“Assays are pending from our recently completed exploration at our 28,575 hectare Ghost Lake Project in Labrador and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to get exploration underway at our extensively drilled historical Bleasdell Project in Saskatchewan to both confirm and expand upon the work done by previous explorers and developers,” Branson says.
The Bleasdell Project contains a historical deposit with an estimate of 620,700 pounds of triuranium octoxide, dated in 1957.
Dark Star intends on advancing exploration at the Horn and Jackpine areas, which historically returned results including 2.56m at 0.12% triuranium octoxide and 1.21m at 0.62% triuranium octoxide.
The Ghost Lake Project is located in the Central Mineral Belt, which is known to host widespread uranium mineralisation including Atha Energy (CVE:SASK) properties and Paladin Energy (TSX:PDN).
