Hydrothermal Alteration
|
Rock alteration simply means changing the mineralogy of the rock. The old minerals are replaced by new ones because there has been a change in the conditions. These changes could be changes in temperature, pressure, or chemical conditions or any combination of these. Hydrothermal alteration is a change in the mineralogy as a result of interaction of the rock with hot water fluids, called “hydrothermal fluids”.
|
|
Hydrothermal Fluids
|
Hydrothermal fluids cause hydrothermal alteration of rocks by passing (hot) water fluids through the rocks and changing their composition by adding or removing or redistributing components. Temperatures can range from weakly elevated to boiling. Fluid composition is extremely variable. They may contain various types of gases, salts (briney fluids), water, and metals.

Frequency domain IP methods use alternating currents (AC) to induce electric charges in the subsurface, and the apparent resistivity is measured at different AC frequencies.

. Uranium is sold in this form.

Unconformity
|
A boundary separating two or more rocks of markedly different ages, marking a gap in the geologic record.
|
|
Unconformity Deposit Model
|
The theoretical model for the characterization of major uranium deposits located in the Athabasca Basin. Deposition/concentration of high-grade “unconformity” uranium deposits are thought to result from the chemical interaction of dissolved uranium present in water-saturated sediments above the unconformity with reducing gases and fluids generated from significant hydrothermal activity emanating from below the unconformity. High-grade uranium deposits have been observed to occur at, above, and/or below the unconformity.
Many unconformity-type deposits are marked by the surrounding presence of sandstone and basement rocks that have also been chemically-altered due to hydrothermal activity. These larger rock “alteration” zones represent the primary targets for uranium explorers as the altered physical properties of the rocks can be detected via various airborne and land-based geophysical survey methods. In addition, the presence of geological fault structures is highly-correlated with high-grade uranium deposition, with the fault structures likely acting as the conduits for the upwelling of hydrothermal fluids.

|
Uraninite
|
A mineral consisting of uranium oxide and trace amounts of radium and thorium and polonium and lead and helium; uraninite in massive form is called pitchblende which is the chief uranium ore.
|
|
Vein
|
A fissure, fault or crack in a rock filled by minerals that have traveled upwards from some deep source.
|
|
Volcanic rocks
|
Igneous rocks formed from magma that has flowed out or has been violently ejected from a volcano.

information included in this report, fairly present in all material
respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash

The
company's other certifying officer(s) and I are responsible for
establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures for
the company (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial reporting
(as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) for the
Company and have:
|
|
|
(a)
|
Designed
such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure
controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to
ensure that material information relating to the company, including
its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within
those entities, particularly during the period in which this report
is being prepared;
|
|
|
(b)
|
Designed
such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such
internal control over financial reporting to be designed under
supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial

accepted accounting principles;
|
|
|
(c)
|
Evaluated
the effectiveness of the company's disclosure controls and
procedures and presented in this report our conclusions about the

(d)
|
Disclosed
in this report any change in the company's internal control over
financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by the
annual report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely
to materially affect, the company's internal control over
financial reporting; and
|
|
5.
|
The
company's other certifying officer(s) and I have disclosed, based
on our more recent evaluation of internal control over financial
reporting, to the company's auditors and the audit committee of
the company's board of directors (or persons performing the
equivalent functions):
