Continuing Resource Expansion

The Lac 50 Trend is a three kilometre wide by 15 kilometre long southeast striking structural trend within Archean volcanic rocks adjacent to an unconformity with Proterozoic sediments of the Angikuni sub-basin.

The Lac 50 Trend hosts five deposits which comprise the current NI 43-101 Inferred Resource Estimate, two of which were discovered, drilled and converted into resources in 2012. The Lac 50 Trend is also host to six additional uranium occurrences discovered by Kivalliq since 2010 and numerous high priority targets not yet tested.

On September 24, 2012, Kivalliq announced the completion of its aggressive 2012 exploration program including 38,856 metres of core and reverse circulation ("RC") drilling, which focused on adding inferred resources and testing new targets within the Lac 50 Trend. Kivalliq has demonstrated expansion potential within the Lac 50 Trend by increasing the contained U3O8 in the maiden inferred resource by more than 300% in the past two years. In addition, Kivalliq's exploration programs have consistently identified new mineralized zones, validating the "District Scale" potential of the Angilak Property.
