Scale Uranium Discovery with Space Tech and AI

Harness the geological insights and predictive capabilities of Exosphere’s real-time Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) to optimise drill targeting today.

Leading with ExoSphere:

Exploring Uranium in the Athabasca Basin, Canada

The Athabasca Basin is home to the world's highest-grade uranium deposits, contributing about 20% of global supply. Despite this, the region remains largely under-explored due to complex geological and technical challenges. While exploration methods like magnetics, radiometrics and pattern drilling continue to be common approaches in the industry, a new technique leveraging the latest advances in satellite connectivity, 3D multiphysics, and AI is rapidly disrupting these traditional workflows. Using Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT), ExoSphere delivers 3D mapping of mineral systems in real-time between 2.5km - 4km in depth, providing an unprecedented view of the exploration search space, increasing confidence when planning drill holes and saving clients time and money.

Harsh Weather Conditions
  • Short field season due to seasonality and extreme cold

  • Remote locations
  • Data collection is remote, but requires time to collect and process, potentially months
  • Real-time data collection, enabling survey modification and follow up during deployment
Depth of Unconformity
  • Potential targets lie deep undercover

  • Drilling is the only source of samples, and is expensive

‍

  • Magnetic resolution decreases with increasing cover thickness
  • Accurately image depth to unconformity between 2.5km and 4km, depending on station spacing
Minerals system structure
  • Basement structure may represent fluid pathways

  • Upthrown basement highs can be important chemical and physical traps
  • Potential field data is 2D
  • Uncertainty about depth of features
  • Imaging of basement topography in 3D, including upthrown blocks
  • Structures within basement that coincide with alteration show as low or intermediate velocity zones
Hydrothermal alteration
  • Alteration zones contain uranium mineralization but are difficult to detect
  • Alteration occurs within the basement as well as the Athabasca Basin units, meaning the search space is quite wide
  • Conductivity can occur in regions without significant alteration
  • Magnetic response to alteration is variable, with low magnetic responses also linked to primary rock type
  • Clear relationship between alteration and low velocity zones
  • Able to focus exploration on co-located zones of low velocity and high conductivity
  • ANT can resolve structure within basement that can be linked to conductivity zones

“We also successfully deployed the innovative ANT geophysical system at Hurricane, over the ore zone and the north, south and east extents. Preliminary analysis of the results illustrates that we can detect the unique hydrothermal alteration system that surrounds the ore deposit, therefore we can use this information to look for similar features in the surveys that we have completed to the east of Hurricane deposit as well as at our high priority Hawk exploration project.”
