Globally there is little to compare with the economics of the type of deposit referred to as a "unconformity uranium deposit." This is due to the grade and contained U3O8 in typical deposits. Consolidated Abaddon has targeted properties in Canada with the potential for this type of deposit.
In identifying prospective properties, there are a couple of aspects to these deposits worth noting:
- The deposits occur at or near the base of young proterozoic clastic sequences (mainly sandstones) that are commonly undeformed.
- Of significance is the rock that these clastic sequences overlay. On a global basis, the productive areas of these basins overlay older proterzoic sedimentary rocks that contain strong reductants and are typically deformed and faulted. These reductants are generally graphite or sulfide bearing strata. Uranium mineralization is typically localized where these reduced strata are overlain by oxidized sandstone. Economic grade uranium can occur for some distance into the basement rocks along the reduced strata.
Consolidated Abaddon has used these criteria in their selection of target areas for property acquisition. Properties acquired in the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan and the Sims Basin in Labrador, Canada meet these criteria.
