Drilling planned in search of more uranium south of Kiggavik site
Kivalliq Energy Corp., a Vancouver-based uranium exploration company, is set to begin extensive exploratory drilling at its Angilak property this summer, said a May 6 company news release.
Preparation for the $1.5 million diamond-drilling program will begin in June, the news release said, at the 155,2800-hectare site located in the central Arctic, 350 kilometres west of Rankin Inlet and roughly 225 km south of Baker Lake and Areva’s proposed Kiggavik uranium mine.
The company plans to drill to a minimum of 1,000 metres in six to eight holes at a western location on the property called Dipole using diamond-drill rigs already on site.
