Forum Stakes Claims on Trend of the Alpha/Fission Discovery in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan
(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/17/13 -- Forum Uranium Corp. (TSX VENTURE: FDC) is pleased to announce it has staked three claims immediately to the southwest of the Patterson Lake South (PLS) discovery of Alpha Minerals/Fission Energy in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan. Forum's technical team examined the extensive database of the Athabasca Basin that it has accumulated over the past 35 years and acquired approximately 99 square kilometres of prime real estate in a highly competitive staking rush.
Forum's northernmost claim, staked immediately southwest of the Alpha/Fission ground is interpreted to be on strike with the conductive trend that hosts the newly discovered high-grade uranium mineralization on the Patterson Lake South project. This acquisition of the "Clearwater" project fits with Forum's strategy of searching for shallow uranium targets in areas with nearby mineralization. Forum's other projects with near surface uranium targets that can be developed by open pit methods include:
