VANCOUVER — It’s been a busy year for explorer Forum Uranium (TSXV: FDC; US-OTC: FDCFF), with a pair of drill programs on opposing margins of Saskatchewan’s prolific Athasbasca basin.
The company’s sizable regional uranium portfolio is geographically diverse, but its two most active assets include a stake in the Northwest Athabasca joint venture — alongside partners Areva, Cameco and junior NexGen Energy — and the wholly owned Clearwater project, which sits next to Fission Uranium’s Patterson Lake South (PLS) discovery.
The latter is the result of staking ahead of a regional rush around Patterson Lake after Fission’s inaugural drill holes, with Forum scoring a 99 sq. km property position adjoining PLS to the southwest.
Since the area is unexplored Clearwater is at the greenfield stage, and the company’s 2,300-metre drill initiative in early 2014 was a scout program.
“It was sort of a broad-brush testing program. Five targets ended up hitting some pretty nice zones, with good structures and strong graphitic conductors,” president and CEO Richard Mazur said during a phone interview.
