Vancouver, British Columbia: Western Uranium Corporation (the “Company” or “Western Uranium”) is pleased to announce the commencement of an airborne MEGATEM geophysical survey in the Thelon Basin of Northwest Territories and Nunavut Canada over Western Uranium’s 100 % owned prospect permits and claims, which cover 486,000 acres. Airborne geophysics are useful in prospecting large ground areas that have little to no outcrop and are covered by numerous lakes, rivers, and streams. The Thelon Basin is both geographically and geologically similar to the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan Canada, which hosts the majority of known high grade uranium deposits in the world. The Thelon Basin exhibits comparable exploration potential for hosting similar high grade uranium deposits. The MEGATEM survey system has been widely and successfully used over the Athabasca Basin in identifying buried uranium drill targets down to depths of 600 meters.
A number of companies are currently engaged in flying airborne surveys over their properties in the Thelon Basin. 2,576 line kilometers have been flown over the Company’s 120, 000 acres located on the Northwest Territory portion of the Thelon and an additional 4,155 line kilometers are being flown over Western Uranium’s permits that cover 366,000 acres in the northern portion of the basin on the Nunavut side.
