Vancouver company sets its sights on uranium prospect in Sask.
The Athabasca Basin in northern Saskatchewan is on the radar for TAD Mineral Exploration Inc.
This past spring the company acquired 4,000 hectares of land that is a prospective area for uranium.
Director of TAD Jason Gigliotti said he wanted to get involved in the Athabasca Basin for the past 10 years, but due to timing and scenarios it never worked out until now.
“We’ve actually wanted to be up in the basin for quite a while. I thought that uranium, despite what happened with Fukushima [nuclear plant] and everything else, is kind of one of the ones that I would expect is going to be leading the venture market back out from the doldrums it’s been in,” Gigliotti explained.
