Ford Lake Project
Eastern Athabasca focus, near Key Lake/Millennium deposits
Highlights
-
Ownership: The Project is 100% owned by Americas Uranium.
-
3 year exploration permits have been received.
-
Size: 7743 hectares across 4 claims.
-
Location:
-
Close proximity to all-season roads and electrical transmission lines.
-
2 km off the Fox Lake road and 12 km from the all-season highway between Key Lake Mill and McArthur River Mine.
-
-
Geological Potential:
-
Project is situated near the margin of the Mudjatik and Wollaston Domains which is associated with numerous deposits.
-
The uranium endowment of the area is proven by the significant deposits of Key Lake only 15km to the southeast, and less than 30km from Cameco Corp.’s Millennium deposit and Denison Mines Corp.’s Gryphon and Phoenix deposits.
-
Recent CanAlaska Uranium Ltd. high-grade discovery hole (MS-23-10A) at Moon Lake South only 15km to the northeast.(2)
-
The depth to unconformity across the property is estimated to be about 100 to 400 meters.
-
-
Previous Work:
-
Airborne Magnetics/VTEM survey was conducted by Stallion Uranium in 2023 highlighting the structural features.

The Ford Lake Project is strategically positioned in the Eastern Athabasca Basin, one of the world’s most productive uranium regions, and consists of four claims (including Brown Lake) covering an area of 7,743 hectares. The Project is located 2 km off the Fox Lake road and 12 km from the all-season highway between Key Lake Mill and McArthur River Mine.

Exploration
Extension of the Shift Lake Uranium Zone (Figure 2 Above):
-
>3 km of an unexplored structural magnetic low.
-
The magnetic low lies along trend of the Shift Lake Uranium Zone which hosts mineralized drill hole intercepts.
-
Drill hole 79-017 hosts 0.62% U3O8 over 2.75 m and up to 2.42% U3O8 over 0.75 m. (SMDI# 2031, Union Carbide Exploration, 1979).(3)
-
Shallow depths of ~100 - 300 m to the unconformity.
