The Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, hosts world-class unconformity-type uranium deposits that are important contributors to global uranium production. The Millennium deposit, southeastern Athabasca Basin, is a basement-hosted deposit with ~75.8 million pounds grading 2.4% U3O8 (indicated), ~28.9 million pounds grading 3.2% U3O8 (inferred), and occurs at ~650 m depth (Fig. 1). The aim of this project is to examine the lithogeochemical footprint associated with alteration, mineralization, and lithostratigraphic variations around the deposit, and potential lithogeochemical vectors toward mineralization.

The Millennium uranium deposit in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin has a lithogeochemical footprint that can help identify potential vectors towards mineralization.
