The $FUU JR Zone starts looking more and more similar to Cameco´s Cigar lake:
Cigar lake has the form of a flat, elongated lense. It is 20-100 m wide, 1,950 m long and ranges up to 13.5 m thick, with an average thickness of 5.4 m. #uranium
Average grade at Cigar lake is 17.2%.
The $FUU JR Zone has the form of... a flat enlongated lense... is for now 15-50 m wide, 105 m long and ranges up to 15.5 m thick with an average thickness of 10.3 m. RedCloud estimates the average grade to 4%, but then they include the weaker
015N line, otherwise it would be 5%. Remember also that the grades and widths for now increase going south, so it is possible the avarage grade soon will be more like 6-7% or more. So while Cigar lake is higher average grade for now, our mineralization is almost twice as thick.
Alternatively, you can choose to look only at our high-grade core. Then the thickness may be 4-5 m, but the grades will be in the class of Cigar lake.
Also have in mind that our deposit is much shallower and not under a lake. I would say that the 90 m section from 00N to 090S is not far away from the value of 90 m of the Cigar lake deposit. If mineralization continues in the A1 shear zone all the way along the over 3 km long
conductor, that should make the deposit about as big as Cigar lake. Without taking into account the potential for any parallell lenses, unconformity mineralization and mineralization further down in the basement.
As I have said before, these are early days, drilling must confirm the length, but what we have seen so far is astonishing. Here is some recommended reading about the Cigar lake deposit: miningdataonline.com/property/26/Ci…
In their speculative estimate of 15-20 Mlbs, I am not sure if RedCloud includes the scints, or only the assays, perhaps @quakes99 or someone else knows? If similar drill results keep coming during the summer program, pounds will add up very quickly.
Not sure how RedCloud calculated, perhaps something like this? Length x average width x average thickness x thickness = 105 x 32.5(?) x 10 = 34,125 m3. One m3 at these grades might contain 500 lbs (an estimate, I need to check that number). 34,125 x 500 = 17 Mlbs. $FUU #uranium

I want to share some more about why I say $FUU can be the next Cigar lake within #uranium. Please look at the highlighted texts in the below description of unconformity-related deposits, link to full article here: www-pub.iaea.org/mtcd/publicati…
This part is about the Cigar lake deposit in particular:
For now, the geology between both deposits looks very similar, a flat lying lense with a high grade core surrounded by a lower grade halo. The Cigar lake deposit is 1,950 m long and contains a total of 221.6 million lbs of U3O8. That means 105 m of it on average contains 12 Mlbs.
That also explains the heavy selling after the end of the spectacular winter program. Some big investors probably knew that they could participate in a financing and also get some warrants...
Since the financing is done at a premium, it should not affect the share price negatively imo.
Now it is confirmed that PLN23-060 is the best hole to date. A peak of 65.2% is the highest so far. 14.5m interval averaging 9.4% U3O8 is the best interval so far. $FUU #uranium
Some other great interceptions as well, on line 30S and 45S, showing we have a continous ultra-high grade core: $FUU #uranium
Looking at all the cross-sections on the F3 #uranium $FUU website, and it actually looks quite amazing. In orange you see the A1 shear zone where all the mineralization has been found so far. It is ultra-high grade, thick, long and wide.
We may already have 15-20 million pounds, and as the last holes show the mineralization is getting even wider and stronger to the south, another 15-20 holes to the south in the shear zone could double that number. But look how close we are to the unconformity. Looking at other
deposits in the Athabasca basin, they are practically all in contact with the unconformity, and the $ISO Hurricane deposit is overlying it:
This morning I compared $ISO's best hole LE20-76 to $FUU's best hole PLN23-060. Look at these photos and guess which hole is the best... #uranium
First, you have this photo with the scints from LE20-76. There was 3.5 m of offscale, but around that only weak #uranium mineralization.
Here you see the assays of LE20-76, really spectacular with 74% over 3.5 m. They include another 4 m to make it a 7.5 m interval, but those other 4 m are insignificant, just as in the scints.
So now it is confirmed: the only addition to $URNM #uranium ETF is $FUU. Yesterday they bought 1.8M shares. Comparing to others with similar mcaps like CUR and Goviex, weighting should be around 0.45%-0.50%. This means around 12-14M shares. Today we will see huge buying orders.
Let's hope $URNM has to pay up today and buy a big part of those around 10-12M $FUU shares remaining to be bought on the open market #uranium
Trading in $FUU was not what I hoped for today, block trades on agreed prices so that $URNM can get their shares at a good price. Anyway, ETF manipulation is over and this inclusion will give a lot of support when the sector is rising.
