Commencement Of Drilling On Uranium Project In Shirley Basin
VANCOUVER - Indigo Exploration Inc. has commenced a planned 50-hole drill program on its highly prospective uranium project located in the past producing Shirley Basin of Wyoming. The Hot Property covers a 5.75 km2 (2.2 miles2) area of the Basin and has seen over 200 uranium exploration holes completed between 1957 and 1975.
This is Indigo's first drill campaign on its Hot Property will systematically explore the southern part of the property, where favourable historic intercepts were encountered in the top 53 metres (175 feet) from surface, as well as areas that have never been drilled before. Holes will be spaced roughly every 160 metres (525 feet) apart with the aim to characterize the thickness and grade of uranium mineralization through downhole gamma ray geophysical logging and develop a stratigraphic framework to broadly model the continuity and configuration of near surface potentially multiple uranium roll fronts. The 50-hole program is anticipated to take 10 days.
