resources department geologists pitched their tents last summer about 70 miles southeast of this north ern Saskatchewan community in the second year of fiveyear project to map the rim of the Athabasca basin This basin is geological for mation covering about third of the province north of La Ronge Unlike other geological ex peditions working for private mining companies and the Sas katchewan Mining Develop ment Corp on the rim the mineral resources department team was not only examining areas likely to contain mineral ore bodies but trying to paint the geological picture of the basin The six geologists camped on the FondduLac River this year were mapping the surface geology of an area covering about30005 uare miles Another epartment field party concentrated on the areas geochemical makeup by sampling lake and river sedi ments About 13 billion years ago the Athabasca basin was devoid of anything but the simplest forms of life Rivers surged up and receded leaving behind de its of sand which eventually ardened into sandstone cov ering the harder and older granite and gneiss underneath SEEK URANIUM The sandstone making up the basin covers an irregular oval from Lake Athabasca east to Hatchet Lake west of Wall aston Lake south of Cree Lake and back up to Lake Athabasca The sandstone dips to depth of 5000 feet at the bottom of the basin The mineral resources team was mapping part of the basin in which glacial action has ex posed areas where sandstone is in contact with the granite and gneiss This zone is also re ceiving attention from economic geologists because it is where uranium leached out of the sandstone is con centrated The six geologists trekked from six to ei ht miles day searching for areas of con tact and gathered samples for chemical analysis at University of
