Episode notes
Modern Geophysics Reawakens Old Licenses
- District Metals applied modern drone radiometric and mobile MT surveys to licenses last surveyed in the 1970s–80s.
- Garrett Ainsworth says the new geophysics is working very well to define priority drill targets.
Historic Uranium Occurrences Drive Selection
- District selected licenses because of historical uranium occurrences like Labas and Vyopsjok that include boulder fields.
- Garrett notes Labas had historical drilling while Vyopsjok targets an unconformity and has never been drilled.
Multiple Uranium Styles Across Properties
- Sweden hosts diverse uranium styles: alum (black) shales, basement-hosted, unconformity, sandstone-hosted, and intrusive-related systems.
- Garrett highlights that different properties (e.g., Årdnäsvarre, Nyanfors, Sökjärn) target different styles requiring tailored approaches.
