Uraninite – Ace Deposit, Beaverlodge Lake area, Saskatchewan, Canada

This uraninite originates from the Ace Deposit in the Beaverlodge Lake area, part of the renowned Beaverlodge uranium district in northern Saskatchewan. Uraninite (UO₂ to U₃O₈) from this region commonly occurs as massive pitchblende or botryoidal aggregates within shear-hosted veins and altered host rock. Specimens often display a deep black coloration with submetallic to dull luster and substantial density indicative of high uranium content.

The Beaverlodge district played a foundational role in Canada’s uranium industry during the mid-20th century, and material from named deposits such as Ace carries strong locality provenance. For collectors of significant uranium localities, Canadian mining history, or high-grade primary uranium minerals, this is a representative and historically meaningful specimen.
