The Deiter Lake Project is located in North-Central Quebec, approximately 150km north of the Hydro-Quebec Reservoir and within the Gayot Lake outlier of the Sakami Formation The Dieter Lake Project was formerly held by Uranerz Exploration and Mining, Strathmore Minerals Corp., Fission Energy Corp. and Denison Mines Corp. Dieter Lake was acquired by staking and is expected to require modest annual expenditures to maintain. Quebec ranks highly as a mining jurisdiction and has seen significant past expenditures on uranium exploration by both major and junior mining companies. Quebec ranks highly as a mining jurisdiction and has seen significant past expenditures on uranium exploration by both major and junior mining companies.
Uranium mineralization at Dieter Lake is in the form of fine-grained, sooty pitchblende within a shale-wacke horizon of the Sakami Formation. The pitchblende is accompanied by various sulphides and moderately associated with metallic elements Fe, Cu, V and Mo. The uranium ore horizon bed has been traced over an east-west distance of 5 km and is generally 20 to 80 m above the unconformity. It ranges from 0.2 to 3 m thick and has been observed up to 5 m thick.
