The current program is expected to include:
Article content
- compilation and digitization of available historical geological, geochemical, geophysical and drilling information;
- integration and interpretation of historical and modern airborne geophysical datasets;
- review of historical uranium occurrences, prospecting results and previous exploration targets;
- assessment of structural and geological controls that may be relevant to uranium mineralization;
- comparison of geophysical conductors, structural features, geochemical anomalies and historical exploration results; and
- ranking of priority areas for potential follow-up exploration.

Previous work at Yurchison includes a 1,424 line-kilometre high-resolution airborne magnetic survey completed at 50-metre line spacing, as well as earlier VTEM work that identified multiple geophysical zones of interest. Additional airborne magnetic, radiometric and VLF-EM surveys have also been completed across the Property.
Article content
Historical exploration at Yurchison identified uranium mineralization in several areas of the Property, including prospecting near historical trenches that returned values ranging from 0.09% to 0.30% U₃O₈. These results, together with historical and modern geophysical datasets, will form part of the current compilation and technical review.
