Searchlight Resources Inc. reported results of the Mobile Metal Ion (MMI) survey on the Duddridge Lake Uranium project located approximately 75 kilometers northwest of La Ronge, Saskatchewan. In October 2023, Searchlight conducted MMI surveys on two grids located along strike, and to the north and south of the known Duddridge Lake Uranium Deposit. Elevated MMI results for Uranium and Copper extend along strike on both north and south grids, and also expand eastward.

In the north, the results show a potential second target 300 m to the east of the deposit strike line. MMI results also correspond closely with areas of high airborne magnetic intensity, providing essential information for drill hole planning. The Duddridge Lake project is accessible by an all-season gravel road (Highway 910) to within 12 km of the deposit, with direct access by winter road and ATV trail in summer.

The Uranium Deposit hosts a historic 43-101 inferred resource estimate of 227,880 tonnes, with a grade of 2.14 lbs/tonne U3O8, (Fission Energy Corp, 2007). Additionally, Fission sampled 39 boulders in the deposit area with results up to 1.91% uranium and 0.69% copper, plus 0.14% cobalt and 0.55% vanadium. The Duddridge Lake Uranium Deposit is described as stratabound uranium and copper mineralization, with abundant polymetallic mineral occurrences associated with basal quartz conglomerate and carbonaceous-bearing lenses in red bed (hematitic) arkosic metasediments.

According to SGS Canada Inc, the developers of the Mobile Metal Ion (MMI) technology, MMITM is a proven advanced geochemical exploration technique known to find mineral deposits. MMI measures metal ions that travel upward from mineralization to unconsolidated surface materials such soil, till, sand and other media. Using careful soil sampling strategies, sophisticated chemical ligands, and ultra sensitive instrumentation, SGS is able to measure these ions.

After interpretation, MMI data can indicate anomalous areas.
