Panther Minerals Commences Aerial Survey for Uranium Potential at Fireweed Prospect in Alaska

Panther Minerals has initiated a satellite imagery survey over the Fireweed Prospect on their Boulder Creek Uranium Property in Alaska. They are partnering with DIRT Exploration to conduct a long-wave infrared survey to interpret high-resolution hyperspectral satellite imagery. The survey aims to identify uranium mineralization in the area, as previous rock samples showed significant concentrations of uranium. The Fireweed Prospect's mineralization differs from Boulder Creek's, being hosted in intrusive rocks with stronger anomalies and larger areas of interest. The survey will help map alteration minerals and patterns through hyperspectral satellite data analysis, aiding in identifying mineral distribution and potential mining opportunities.

Panther Minerals Inc. (CSE: PURR), a Vancouver-based mineral exploration company, has recently initiated a satellite imagery survey at the Fireweed Prospect on their Boulder Creek Uranium Property in Alaska [1]. The company is collaborating with DIRT Exploration to conduct a long-wave infrared survey, aiming to interpret high-resolution hyperspectral satellite imagery and identify potential uranium mineralization in the area.

The Fireweed Prospect, unlike the Boulder Creek deposit, is characterized by its intrusive rocks that host mineralization with stronger anomalies and larger areas of interest [1]. This difference in mineralization types highlights the potential significance of the satellite survey in identifying uranium mineralization patterns and mapping alteration minerals and their distributions.

Satellite surveys using long-wave infrared technology have proven effective in identifying various types of mineralization, including uranium [2]. By analyzing the hyperspectral satellite data, geologists can identify distinct spectral signatures that correspond to uranium mineralization. Furthermore, this technology can also provide valuable insights into the geological and environmental conditions in the area, which can aid in identifying potential mining opportunities.

The Fireweed Prospect's location in Alaska's Seward Peninsula, with its unique geological setting, makes it an attractive target for uranium exploration. The area hosts the Boulder Creek uranium deposit, which is one of the most northerly known sandstone-type uranium properties in the world [1]. Although the deposit is located on federal claims, the Fireweed Prospect is situated on state claims that are part of Panther Minerals' property. The company has engaged Jack DiMarchi of Core Geoscience LLC to manage their permitting activities in Alaska, and they are working on securing the necessary permits for exploration activities on both federal and state claims [1].

In conclusion, Panther Minerals' satellite imagery survey at the Fireweed Prospect on their Boulder Creek Uranium Property in Alaska is a significant step forward in their quest for potential uranium discoveries. This innovative approach to exploration using advanced satellite technology highlights the company's commitment to leveraging cutting-edge methods to identify new mineralization opportunities.
