About the 914W Uranium Project

The 914W Project consists of one mineral claim, comprising approximately 1,260 hectares situated approximately 48 km southwest of Cameco’s Key Lake Operation, offering excellent logistics and access via Highway 914. The 914W Project is strategically positioned within the Western Wollaston Domain, known for unconformity-related and pegmatite-hosted uranium (or “U”) mineralization.

The project hosts favorable geology with local graphite bearing assemblages. Immediately to the north of the 914W Project is the Scurry Rainbow Zone E¹ and the Don Lake Trenches², where up to 1,288 ppm U was encountered in drill hole ML-1¹, and surface prospecting revealed up to 0.64% U₃O₈ in a trench at Don Lake Zone E².

While historical exploration conducted several geophysical and geological surveys over portions of the property, most of the 914W Project remains underexplored. Mustang sees substantial potential for advancing uranium and rare earth element exploration on the 914W Project.
