F3 Hits 4.35m Off-Scale Mineralization (>65,535 cps) at JR Zone
In This Article:
Kelowna, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 10, 2024) - F3 Uranium Corp (TSV: FUU) (OTCQB: FUUFF) ("F3" or "the Company") is pleased to announce scintillometer results from the current summer drill program, including PLN24-176 which was cored in the JR Zone and which returned mineralization over 11.0m, including 5.40m of high grade (>10,000 cps) containing 4.35m of composite off-scale mineralization (>65,535 cps).
Sam Hartmann, Vice President Exploration, commented:
"PLN24-176 was planned to increase confidence and high-grade continuity in the heart of the JR Zone, approximately 15m in the up-dip direction of PLN24-137 (see NR April 1, 2024 and July 20, 2024). Based on total radioactivity and the intercepted width of high grade, we expect this hole to rank near the top of all drillholes at JR. Exploration remains the focus of the program; previously (see NR August 13, 2024) we announced PLN24-168, which stepped out 700m along strike and encountered the altered and strongly graphitic B1 shear well below the Athabasca Unconformity. PLN24-175 was a follow up, testing the same structure 110m up-dip targeting its intersection with the unconformity. This hole intersected strong alteration in the basement; coupled with intense silicification and brecciation observed in the lower Athabasca Sandstone and the lack of graphitic structure in the basement, indications are that the structure dips steeper than presumed. This reveals a new target down-dip from PLN24-175 and an additional hole is planned to test the structure in this area with these prospective signs for nearby mineralization."
