Terra Clean Energy (CSE:TCEC) is preparing to advance drill-ready targets at the Prospector Freedom Uranium Project in Utah, after receiving initial results from airborne radiometric and photogrammetric surveys.
Numerous discrete uranium anomalies associated with favourable host lithologies and established regional mineralised trends were outlined in the radiometric survey. These anomalies are interpreted as potential near-surface uranium-bearing zones and represent compelling follow-up targets for the company’s upcoming field program.
In parallel, the photogrammetric survey delivered high-resolution 3D digital topographic data and 2D orthomosaic photographs over the property. This information has aided in identifying terrain features and shading which may represent alteration corridors and spatially coincide with the identified radiometric anomalies.
Terra Clean says this is valuable for the development of a 3D model of the property and will aid in drill planning and targeting.
CEO Greg Cameron says the combination of the data has advanced the company’s understanding of the project.
“We are especially encouraged by the strong correlation between radiometric anomalies and terrain features identified,” Cameron says.
“This integrated dataset has generated several compelling drill targets and provides a strong foundation for the next phase of exploration.”
Drill permitting is actively underway, with drilling to follow after completing a targeted US summer exploration program. The program will include ground-truthing of airborne anomalies, detailed geological mapping, geochemical sampling, as well as structural interpretation and target refinement.
The Prospector Freedom Project is located within a historically productive uranium district that has produced 1.33 million pounds of triuranium octoxide at 0.22%.
Terra Clean Energy is a Canada-based uranium explorer and developer focused on its asset portfolio across the US and Canada.
