[{"type":"text","content":"Kivalliq Energy Corporation: ZTEM(TM) Geophysical Survey Completed at Hatchet Lake and Genesis Properties, SaskatchewanVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 10, 2017) - Kivalliq Energy Corporation (TSXV: KIV) and Roughrider Exploration Limited (TSXV: REL) (\"Roughrider\") today announced the completion of a 1,943 line-kilometre helicopter-borne electromagnetic survey at the Hatchet Lake Property and Genesis Property uranium projects in northeastern Saskatchewan. Geotech Ltd. of Aurora, Ontario was contracted to fly the survey using their ZTEMTM system, with in3D Geoscience Inc. providing independent QA/QC during data acquisition.The ZTEMTM survey was divided into five separate grids; one grid at Hatchet Lake totalling 720 line-kilometres and four grids at Genesis totalling 1,223 line-kilometres. At the Hatchet Lake Property, the ZTEMTM survey will enhance earlier airborne geophysical data in areas having priority geochemical anomalies. The Genesis Property ZTEMTM survey was divided into four separate grids providing additional geophysical coverage over the Jurgen, Kingston, Johnston/GAP and Daniels Bay priority target areas; including select gravity targets identified by a FALCON gradiometer survey flown in 2016 (see news release August 23, 2016). Flight lines were flown at 200 or 250 metre spacing. The survey was completed between September 26 and October 5, 2017 and final deliverables, including modelling and interpretation, are expected late in 2017.\"We are confident that new data from ZTEMTM and continued exploration by Kivalliq and Roughrider will further upgrade our basement-hosted uranium targets in the under-explored region east of the Athabasca Basin,\" stated Jeff Ward, Kivalliq's President. ZTEMTM is a low-noise, airborne electromagnetic system that produces reliable, deep investigation using natural, horizontal planar fields of the Earth as the source of transmitted energy. Vertical fields, the result of variations in the horizontal signal caused by conductivity contrasts, are mapped using a proprietary receiver design combined with modern digital electronics and signal processing. ZTEMTM operates at low frequencies providing up to 1,500 metres depth penetration through conductive cover, and having between 8 to 10 metres spatial resolution with good resistivity discrimination and sensitivity.Jeff Wa...
