Waukarlycarly
Uranium As part of Laconia’s ongoing project generation and reviewing the results of a recently flown EM survey and reports (GSWA Patterson EM survey) commissioned by the Geological Survey Western Australia (GSWA), Laconia has pegged 725 km2 on the bank of Lake Waukarlycarly. The project is located 50km south of Laconia’s Barramine Project, 55km northeast of Woodie Woodie and 50km northwest of Telfer.
The Waukarlycarly Project is prospective for calcrete hosted uranium deposit. Lake Waukarlycarly is a regional depositional sink for major paleo and present day fluvial channels. Mineralisation targets include calcrete uranium deposits forming palaeochannel and rim embayment on the western margin of Lake Waukarlycarly.
The area is surrounded by weathered granites and mafic rocks including:
- Mt Croften suite (Uranium source)
- Rudall Complex (Uranium and Vanadium source)
- Mafic suites of the Pilbara Craton (Vanadium Source)
The Project area is located at the centre of GSWA Paterson EM project area as shown below:
