Hook Lake

The Hook Lake Project was staked by UEM in 1997 and consists of six claims totaling 26,051 hectares situated in the southwestern Athabasca Basin approximately 80 kilometers southeast of the former Cluff Lake mine. The depth to unconformity is very shallow, ranging from zero to 350 metres.

Three prospective "corridors" have been defined on the property, each corridor being comprised of multiple conductors that have been confirmed to be the results of graphitic metasediments that intersect the Athabasca unconformity.

Historic exploration efforts focused on the Derkson Corridor, where SMDC encountered uranium mineralization near the unconformity averaging 0.24% U3O8 and 1.35% Ni over 2.5 metres of diamond drilling. Drill holes along this trend encountered very encouraging "Millennium-style" basement alteration. It is believed that the historic shallow drilling along the Derkson Corridor did not properly test for deeper Millennium or Eagle Point-type basement-hosted uranium deposits.
