Located in Neuquen Province, the Campesino Norte project comprises 48,230 hectares covering uranium mineralized outcrops over one of the more important gas-oil fields in Argentina.
The prospect is located in restricted channel-fill sandstones and conglomerates carrying a lot of petrified wood, vegetative matter, and bitumen in the gravels of a paleo-channel. Outcrops are limited so it is difficult to predict the orientation, width or form of those channels. The mineralization here is of the typical Colorado Plateau style, with a lot of copper, uranium, silver, and vanadium and comparable to those in the Jurassic Saltwash member of the Morrison Formation on the Colorado Plateau, USA.

The airborne radiometric survey disclosed 42 uranium anomalies areas and follow-up of these anomalies disclosed additional exposed uranium mineralization.
