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.
As we have seen by the calculations of David Talbot at RedCloud, 105 m of the $FUU deposit is estimated to contain even more, 15-20 Mlbs, (still open up-dip, and grades and widths tend to increase to the south so that number may increase).
So to get to the same amount of pounds as Cigar lake, we actually only need continuity of the same mineralization for 1-1.5 km. And the A1 conductor is over 3 km long, so that is not at all impossible. To explore that potential, here is something that could be done during the
summer program if @devrandhawa and Ray thinks it is a good idea: Except for the conservative step-outs to the south, try a couple of big step-outs along the A1 conductor. For example, PLN14-019 drilled 2014 730 m to the south of the discovery hole contained 0.047% over 0.5m which
shows there has been a flow of uranium containing mineralization so far to the south. Since, if I understood correctly, it was drilled below the current high-grade zone, a hole up-dip of PLN14-019, or at another good target further to the south, would be of great interest.
A hit of ultra high-grade uranium so far to the south would indicate probability that there is continuity over much longer lengths than we know so far. If a hit is made so far to the south, investors could really start to speculate if this is in the class of Cigar lake or better.

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.
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.
