Alberta Sun Project

Alberta Sun Map

Minerals:	Uranium
Location:	Southern Alberta, 30 km south of Fort Macleod
Area:	69,000 hectares (170,000 acres)
Ownership:	100% by Northern Tiger, subject to NSR

Overview
The Alberta Sun property is underlain by Cretaceous to Tertiary marine and non-marine sandstones and tuffs. The geological target is sandstone-hosted "roll front" uranium deposits, similar to those mined in Wyoming.

Surface Exploration
Fieldwork at Alberta Sun has produced a number of positive indicators for this type of deposit, including:

• Scintillometer readings of up to 1,250 cps (counts per second).
• Visible alteration, shale beds and abundant hematite and carbonaceous material within the sandstone unit.
• Composite grab samples of isolated organic debris returned up to 7,640 ppm uranium (0.901% U₃O₈).
• Grab samples of sandstone from a separate area 40 kilometres southeast returned 57 to 150 ppm uranium.
• Elevated vanadium, arsenic and lead values (important indicators of sandstone-hosted uranium) occur at both areas.

Geophysical Survey
In 2007, a 2,384 kilometre airborne magnetic and electromagnetic survey was completed by Fugro Airborne Surveys. Sophisticated geophysical modeling of the data by TerraNotes Ltd. of Edmonton, Alberta was successful indentifying pre-glacial paleovalleys that are prospective hosts for sandstone-hosted uranium deposits. Signs of an oxidation-reduction front, critical for a roll front uranium deposit, were also noted.
