Advancing the potential: Alberta mineral exploration highlights

Mineral exploration activity in Alberta in 2007 has been focused mainly on the search for diamonds and uranium. To date, numerous kimberlite pipes have been discovered in the province and the elevated price of uranium has increased exploration activity in the Athabasca basin and southern Alberta. Exploration activity has also been active for magnetite, iron and other base metals. Several companies are bringing their properties to advanced stages of development.
