Marysvale Project
Trigon’s uranium team, led by Ian S. Thompson, has designed a two-stage work program which aims to at least triple the historical 1.8 Million lbs of U3O8 reported by Dr. Proctor based on the historic drilling on the property.
Phase 1A will consist of ground magnetic, resistivity and radiometric surveys, geologic mapping and geochemical surveys to identify argillic alteration zones, fossil hot-spring centers, fault zones and radiometric anomalies. This will be followed by Phase 1B, a preliminary program of 6000 feet of vertical and inclined RC drilling to confirm uranium mineralization and zone geometry. The RC drilling will be augmented by 2000 feet of inclined, stratigraphic core drilling to characterize the known mineralized zones, to search for vertically-inclined vein mineralization and to provide samples for batch and pad leachability tests. The Phase 1 work is scheduled to commence in mid- to late August 2006 and is expected to last until the end of the year.
The preliminary plans for Phase 2 include approximately 100,000 feet of rotary drilling and 8000 feet of core drilling to outline uranium mineral inventory/resources. Preliminary base-line environmental surveys and in-situ leach (ISL) tests should be initiated at this stage. The results of Phase 1 will be integrated into the final plans for Phase 2, which is scheduled to start in Q1 2007.
