According to Pegasus, the property is prospective for unconformity-related uranium mineralisation.
Earlier work at the site identified two conductive trends. One of them is around 2.5km long and was defined by airborne and ground electromagnetic (EM) surveys. The other one is a 600m-long conductor.
The company plans to commence data compilation, review and planning for the next stages of exploration at the property immediately.
Pegasus CEO Charles Desjardins said: “Despite significant success at the Pine Channel Property, including highly anomalous radioactivity being identified in structurally complex basement rocks, exploration essentially halted in 1981.
“We are very excited to have acquire this project, which has not only sat idle since the early ’80s, but also which was explored at a time prior to the discovery of uranium in basement rocks such as at NexGen’s Arrow and Fission’s PLS Projects.”
