Uravan is a Calgary based uranium exploration company focused in the Athabasca Basin Canada. Uravan's principal assets and active exploration projects are the Outer Ring, Halliday and Stewardson uranium projects. Since 2008, Uravan and the Queen's Facility for Isotope Research (QFIR) at Queen's University, ON, Canada, have collaborated in developing new surface geochemical technologies to explore for unconformity-related uranium mineralization under cover in the Athabasca Basin. The purpose for developing these surface geochemical techniques is to vector drilling to favorable geophysical targets as a means to rapidly evaluate under-explored terrain. The goal is to get to economic mineral discovery more quickly and cost effectively (fewer drill-holes).In 2009 and 2013 surface geochemical studies were conducted over two (2) known high-grade uranium deposits in the Athabasca Basin, respectively, the Cigar West (Cigar West Study) and Centennial (Centennial Study) deposits. The objective of these studies was to determine if can be identified in the surface environment that support their vertical migration from a known high-grade uranium deposit at depth. The evaluation of data collected from these studies strongly supports 'The Model' that pathfinder elements, gaseous compounds and unique isotopic signatures migrate from uranium mineralization at depth to the surface environment (soils and trees) where they can be geochemically measured.From 2010 through 2015 these new surface geochemical techniques have been applied to Uravan's active exploration projects, targeting prominent electromagnetic (EM) geophysical features supported by significant surface geochemical patterns and trends. A further test of this technology (proof of concept) will occur in 2016 with a follow up drill program over Area B on the Stewardson project Uravan is a publicly listed company on the TSX Venture Exchange under the trading symbol UVN. All of the mineral properties Uravan owns are considered in the exploration stage of development
Uravan is a uranium exploration company that engages in applied research to develop new innovative exploration technologies to identify buried uranium deposits in under-explored areas. Our exploration focus is in sandstone basins in Canada and specific areas globally. The vision is to develop new exploration innovations to discover large high-grade uranium deposits in under-explored frontier regions. With the development of new innovative exploration technologies, Uravan hopes to reach economic discovery quicker and more cost effectively. The goal is the discovery of an economic uranium mineralized intersection on at least one-in-three exploration projects explored and hopes to reduce, by two-thirds, the number of drill holes required to get to discovery.To accomplish this Uravan has partnered with the Queens Facility for Isotope Research (QFIR). QFIR is a state-of-the-art research facility housing some of the most technologically advanced analytical equipment in Canada. Under the direction of Dr. Kurt Kyser, the QFIR research team is working with Uravan's technical group to develop new exploration technologies using applied research. Uravan objective is to create shareholder value through selective uranium property acquisitions in Canada and specific areas globally. To accomplish its objectives, Uravan needs to join its strong uranium exploration capability with strong equity partners. Uravan's desire is to secure long term exploration funding through partnering, thereby freeing its share capital from short term momentum driven market volatility and uncertainty.
