Rook 2 Uranium Project
High-Grade Uranium Exploration in Northwestern Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Region
The Rook 2 Uranium Project is a large-scale uranium exploration property located in northwestern Saskatchewan, Canada, within the broader Athabasca region. The project covers approximately 16,247 hectares and brings together multiple historically identified uranium target areas within a single land position.
Historical exploration has documented uranium mineralisation at shallow depths, including occurrences exposed at or near surface. The project also benefits from significant historical exploration data and established access, providing a strong foundation for advancing modern exploration and evaluating the potential for additional basement-hosted uranium mineralisation.
Potential to discover hydrothermal feeder uranium system which is likely responsible for large enrichment at surface.
Project Highlights
- Approximately 16,247 hectares
- Located in northwestern Saskatchewan
- 28 historical uranium showings
- Numerous historical occurrences of high-grade uranium
- Uranium mineralisation documented at shallow depths and, in some areas, at surface
- Multiple target areas assembled within a single land position
- Strong electromagnetic conductors and structural corridors
- Multiple priority exploration targets across the property
- Modern MT airborne surveying completed over the Fisher Hayes and Higginson blocks
- Exploration strategy focused on identifying deeper basement-hosted feeder systems
- Planned exploration includes additional geophysics and diamond drilling
Geological Setting
Rook 2 is being evaluated as a prospective basement-hosted uranium project associated with the Athabasca region.
The property contains a complex geological setting that includes favourable basement lithologies, major fault and shear structures, electromagnetic conductors and structural corridors. Historical uranium occurrences are distributed across several blocks, including Spreckley Lake, Charlebois Lake, Higginson Lake and Fisher Hayes.
The Company’s geological model considers the possibility that shallow uranium mineralisation identified historically may represent surface expressions of deeper hydrothermal feeder systems. Exploration is therefore focused on identifying structural intersections and conductive basement features that may have acted as pathways for uranium-bearing fluids.
Historical Exploration
Rook 2 has a substantial history of uranium exploration, with 28 documented historical showings across the project area. Historical sampling and diamond drilling programmes have identified uranium mineralisation at shallow depths, with multiple high-grade occurrences documented across the property. The Company’s presentation also notes that significant uranium mineralisation at surface has been identified through historical exploration.
Previous work was largely focused on shallow mineralisation. Canadian Uranium’s current geological interpretation considers the potential for these occurrences to be associated with a larger, deeper basement-hosted uranium system. The historical dataset, combined with modern geophysical information, provides an important foundation for refining target areas and advancing exploration across the project.
Exploration Opportunity
Canadian Uranium’s exploration strategy at Rook 2 is focused on combining historical exploration data with modern geophysical techniques to identify and prioritise potential basement-hosted uranium targets.
An MT airborne survey was completed over the Fisher Hayes and Higginson blocks in May 2026, with additional airborne surveying planned across other project areas. Historical data compilation is also underway, integrating previous exploration results with modern MT survey information.
The next stages of exploration are expected to include ground geophysics, including induced polarisation and ground magnetics, to further refine diamond drilling targets.
The Company’s planned diamond drilling programme is intended to evaluate priority targets, investigate potential feeder systems at depth and support further assessment of historically identified uranium mineralisation.
By integrating historical uranium occurrences, structural geology and modern geophysics, Canadian Uranium aims to advance Rook 2 as a significant uranium exploration opportunity within its Saskatchewan portfolio.
