Carlson C-ALS ® Gyro Case Study The new Carlson C-ALS Gyro is being used to support the extraction of high-grade uranium at one of the largest deposits in the world, the Cigar Lake Mine in northern Saskatchewan, Canada. A development of the standard C-ALS stystem, the C-ALS Gyro provides more accurate and reliable navigation of the probe as it is deployed. The C-ALS Gyro is deployed vertically upwards for around 70m until it enters the uranium cavity where it can scan and survey a newly mined void. This happens after Cameco’s Jet Boring System (JBS) has been deployed. JBS extraction for uranium begins with freezing the ore and rock, located nearly 450 meters below the surface, to provide stability and prevent water from entering the mine. The JBS platform is then deployed an
