Zadar Completes Purchase of 100% Interest in the West Carswell
Uranium Project
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Dec 19, 2013) -
Zadar Ventures Ltd. (TSX-VENTURE:ZAD)(FRANKFURT:ZAV) (the
"Company") is pleased to announce that it has executed a definitive
Purchase and Sales agreement with Canterra Minerals Corporation
("Canterra") and Triex Minerals Corp. ("Triex"), a wholly owned
subsidiary of Canterra whereby Zadar has purchased a 100% interest
in the West Carswell uranium project. Under the terms of the
agreement the Company will issue 385,000 common shares to Canterra.
Canterra will also retain a 2% NSR on the project with a buyback of
1% for $1 million.
The West Carswell project (8,157 hectares) is situated on the
west margin of the Carswell Structure ( a meteorite-impact site or
astrobleme) which is a multi-ring, roughly circular feature
approximately 35 km in diameter that represents a "plug" of
uplifted basement material (up to 2 km) within the Athabasca Basin
boundary. There are numerous uranium deposits within the Carswell
Structure (SMDI: Saskatchewan Mineral Deposit Inventory
occurrences) including the D, N, OP, Claude, Dominique-Peter,
Dominique-Janine and West Dominique-Janine collectively are
referred to as the Cluff Lake Mine which COGEMA Resources Inc.
operated for 22 years, producing > 60M lbs of U308 (Geology,
Mineral and Petroleum Resources of Saskatchewan; Saskatchewan
Industry and Resources, 2003). The Shea Creek uranium prospect
(Kianna, Anne, Collette and 58B deposits) remains the largest
undeveloped uranium resource in the Athabasca Basin and is the
third largest uranium resource in the Athabasca Basin
(http://www.uex-corporation.com/s/shea_creek.asp). The Shea Creek
uranium mineralization lies outside of the Carswell Structure,
about 20 kilometres to the south of the Cluff Lake deposits and 15
kilometres to the south-east of the West Carswell project. The West
Carswell property is within the same basement domain as both Cluff
Lake and Shea Creek defined by narrow, northwest-southeast trending
magnetic zones defined on regional aeromagnetic maps. The Harrison
Shear Zone is a regional fault/shear zone that forms part of the
southwestern margin of the Carswell Structure. The shear zone
transects the northeastern part of the West Carswell project and is
a significant target for potential uranium deposits. Historic
exploration comprised airborne and ground electromagnetic surveys
and diamond drilling. The electromagnetic surveys outlined a
strongly conductive feature named the MP Anomaly (~ 4.3 km long E/W
by 1.2 km wide N/S). Reconnaissance drilling of the MP anomaly
intersected evidence of uranium mineralization in the form of fault
and hydrothermal breccia zones, elevated to anomalous boron (9-316
ppm) in the sandstone, weakly radioactive zones up to 60 metres
wide in sandstones at the unconformity, and haematitic and
radioactive basement granitoid rocks. The geophysical surveys also
identified electromagnetic conductors associated with the Harrison
Shear Zone which have not been drilled.
The common shares are issuable upon execution and TSX.V approval
and will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day
from the date of issue.
