Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) - Athabasca Nuclear Corporation (TSX-V: ASC) (“Athabasca Nuclear” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to report that an airborne survey of its Prongua Lake diamond project in Saskatchewan’s Pikoo diamond district is now underway.

A total of 804 line kilometres were contracted with Goldak Airborne Surveys for an airborne survey that will cover the majority of Athabasca Nuclear’s Prongua Lake project. The survey is being performed at 50 metre line-spacing. A primary objective of the current plane-based survey is to define geophysical targets that may warrant down-ice till sampling, which in turn may ultimately generate drill targets for the purpose of kimberlite testing.

Athabasca Nuclear intends to provide a further update once the survey is complete and results are available.
