No thanksOur flagship asset — 6,950 hectares strategically positioned within the Carswell meteorite impact structure of Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin, home to the world's highest-grade uranium deposits.
The Gorilla Lake Property is Kirkstone Metals Corp.'s flagship project, strategically located in Saskatchewan's Northern Mining District within the renowned Athabasca Basin. Comprising 6,949.90 hectares, the property lies within the Carswell meteorite impact structure — an area known for its significant uranium potential.
The property is situated near the historic Cluff Lake Mine, which produced over 62 million pounds of uranium, underscoring the exceptional endowment of this region. Our exploration is focused on identifying basin-hosted and unconformity-related uranium mineralization at the intersection of structural features and electromagnetic conductors.
The property benefits from existing access routes and nearby regional infrastructure, supporting efficient exploration operations.
The property is accessible via Highway 955 from La Loche, providing reliable all-season road access to the region.
Extensive surface vehicle trails throughout the property enable efficient on-site access and exploration logistics.
The Cluff Lake airstrip and outfitter camps are located nearby, providing critical logistical support for exploration activities.
Gorilla Lake is situated within the Athabasca Basin — home to some of the world's richest uranium deposits, with grades reaching up to 100× the global average. The property's geology features both basement-hosted and unconformity-related deposit types, similar to the historic Cluff Lake deposits.
The Carswell meteorite impact structure hosts the property, creating a complex geological environment that is highly prospective for uranium mineralization. Our exploration focus targets the intersection of structural features and electromagnetic conductors, which are recognized as key indicators of uranium mineralization in this basin setting.
