Northern Athabasca Basin

The Beaverlodge District

The Beaverlodge camp was Canada's first uranium producer — generating 70.25 million pounds of U₃O₈ between 1950 and 1982 at an average grade of 0.23%. Xcite's six properties cover 5,905 hectares across this proven district, which has seen limited modern exploration since the early 1990s.

Since the early 90s, limited exploration has been conducted in the Beaverlodge area. Modern geophysics, improved geological understanding, and new discovery models represent a compelling re-discovery opportunity.

The VIC Zone is located along the same fault structure as the VIC Claims Zone, containing granular pyrite, molybdenite, minor graphite, uraninite, and pitchblende. A 2016 VTEM survey by Fission identified two high-priority geophysical targets (SW1 and SW2). The mineralized zone extends approximately 1,097 metres in length along strike.

Property Highlights

  • VIC Zone rock samples: 1.10 wt% U₃O₈, 14 g/t Au, 9,720 ppm Cu — semi-continuous 100m trend
  • VIC U-Cu-Ni occurrence: grab samples returned up to 27.62%, 36.30%, and 29.70% U₃O₈
  • VIC South chip samples: 29.89% over 29.3cm, 18.09% over 15.2cm, 3.09% over 60.9cm
  • 2016 VTEM survey (Fission) identified SW1 (high priority) and SW2 (high-medium priority) targets
  • Mineralized zone approximately 1,097m in length — multiple undrilled conductors
  • VIC Zone drill intersections: 0.3m @ 0.18% U₃O₈; 0.61m @ 2.08% Cu, 1.10% Ni

The Smitty property features a 3 km contact along the Smitty fault with Beaverlodge-type uranium mineralization hosted in granite. In 1954, the Smitty Mine became Canada's first privately owned uranium producer, with all mineralized material shipped to the nearby Eldorado mill. Six diamond drill holes have been drilled on the West Zone with anomalous scintillometer results along the fault system.

Property Highlights

  • Canada's first privately owned uranium producer (1954) — operations 1950–1959
  • Total production of 283,075 tonnes at an average grade of 0.20% U₃O₈ (1.2M lbs)
  • 3 km contact along Smitty fault; Beaverlodge-type uranium in granite rock setting
  • Six DDH drilled on West Zone; scintillometer readings >0.20% U₃O₈ identified
  • Radioactive zones identified along fault system; anomalous grab samples (SMDI 1407)
  • Accessible by road from Uranium City — established infrastructure nearby

The Don Lake property is characterized by significant cross-faulting — notably the Boom Lake and Black Bay faults — associated with uranium mineralization in the Beaverlodge district. Mineralization occurs as pitchblende hosted in fractures and veins within fault and shear zones, often accompanied by graphite and sulfides. Three distinct zones (A, B, C) have been defined with extensive historical drill and trench datasets.

Property Highlights

  • 42 drill holes encountered uranium mineralization with grades ranging from 0.75% to 3% U₃O₈
  • 213m mineralized vein system across the property; multiple uranium showings
  • Zone A: 10.7% U₃O₈ over 0.3m (drill) and 8.57% over 0.91m (trench)
  • Zone A: 20 DDH & 14 trenches; Zone B: 12 DDH & 20 trenches; Zone C: 6 DDH & 9 trenches
  • Historical resource estimate: 30,701 lbs of uranium at a grade of 0.71% U₃O₈

The Lorado property encompasses the historical Lorado Uranium Mine, active from 1953 to 1960. Uranium mineralization is structurally controlled, associated with graphite and pyrite within highly altered and metamorphosed argillites. A compelling gravity low target with strong VTEM correlation has never been drilled — no drilling has been conducted on the property since 1988.

Property Highlights

  • Historical Lorado Mine: ~95,000 tonnes at 0.19% U₃O₈ (~390,000 lbs uranium, 1953–1960)
  • PITCHIE Zone: 0.793% U₃O₈ over 1.88m drilling intersection
  • Drilling results: 0.84% U₃O₈ over 1.0m and 0.23% over 2.0m
  • Gravity Low Target with strong VTEM correlation — untested drill target
  • Exploration by GLR Resources, JNR Resources & Red Rock Energy (2005–2009)
  • No drilling since 1988 — represents significant virgin exploration potential

The Black Bay property hosts Beaverlodge-style basement-hosted uranium mineralization, characterized by pitchblende occurring near lithological contacts and faults, associated with hematite and graphite. The Bluegrass U Zone — located 600 metres northwest of the historic Black Bay Mine — returned exceptional uranium grades at shallow depth of just 12.8 metres.

Property Highlights

The Gulch property hosts uranium associated with the regional Black Bay fault structure, indicating potential for both basement-hosted and unconformity-related deposits. The historic Gulch Mine developed 11 mineralized shoots through underground operations and diamond drilling between the 152m and 244m development levels. A large VTEM EM conductor identified in 2007 remains completely untested.

Property Highlights

  • 11 mineralized shoots: 18.3–48.8m length and 1.2–4.3m width (active 1953–1957)
  • Development levels at 152m and 244m depth; 16,400m DDH drilled (1955)
  • Historic resource: ~598,000 tonnes @ 0.126% U₃O₈ (~1.65M lbs uranium)
  • Martin Group Unconformity: pitchblende in faults, 1+ km radiometric anomaly
