Hardrock has drilled in the area previously and has extensive knowledge of the Athabasca Basin. Makena anticipates commencing the drill program in July consisting of 3-5 holes in this next phase.
Negar Adam, president of Makena states,
“We are very pleased to be conducting a significantly larger drill program at Patterson. This area is home to many of the largest uranium deposits on earth and recently some of the largest new discoveries. This prospect is located in-between Fissions’ Patterson discovery, the Pure Point discovery and NexGen. Recently there has been a renewed global interest in the Athabasca basin, as NexGen’s discovery has increased in size dramatically and Fission received a cash infusion from CGN Mining Company Ltd. We look forward to commencing the drilling and are very optimistic about the upcoming results.”
