92 Energy specifically brings to the table its Gemini uranium discovery, which was identified in 2021 in the Athabasca Basin. The discovery has been defined over a 250 metre by 290 metre footprint, with intersects including 43.0 metres of 0.62% U3O8 in hole GEM22-025, and 0.5 metres of 9.7% U3O8 in hole GEM23-061.
The discovery is said to consist of basement hosted uranium, which begins at depths of just 60 metres and extends as far as 280 metres below surface. Parallel zones of mineralization are also suspected of being present, with the structure said to have numerous analogues to the initial discovery, while the discovery as a whole is said to be analogous to the Rabbit Lake project.
