Baselode Reports Near-Surface High-Grade Intersection of 1.11% U3O8 over 7.4 Metres
  • High-grade intersection of 1.11% U3O8 over 7.4 m within 0.41% U3O8 over 34.85 m at 43.5 m true vertical depth in AK23-95
  • 3 of 5 drill holes with mineralization starting within 50 metres of surface and with greater than 30 metres of mineralization
  • Assays pending from 15 remaining drill holes, including those with the highest radioactivity results

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - November 8, 2023) - Baselode Energy Corp. (TSXV: FIND) (OTCQB: BSENF) ("Baselode" or the "Company") is pleased to announce new uranium ("U3O8") assays from 5 drill holes from the 7,512 metre diamond drilling program (the "Program") completed within the ACKIO uranium prospect ("ACKIO") on the Hook project ("Hook" or the "Project"). Assays from the remaining 15 drill holes cover shallow mineralization expanding Pod 7, and exploration drill holes outside the known ACKIO footprint.

"ACKIO continues to impress us with near-surface, high-grade uranium mineralization in Pod 1, and with growth potential in Pod 7 starting to be realized. Drill holes AK23-095, AK23-096, and AK23-098 intersected mineralization starting within 50 m of surface, and had greater than 30 m of composite mineralization. This demonstrates the potential of ACKIO as it hosts shallow, high-grade uranium and is endowed with multiple thick sequences of mineralization. In addition, Pod 7 has grown in thickness, depth, and strike length with four drill holes, remaining open at depth and along strike. We anticipate more encouraging results from Pod 7 as the highest levels of radioactivity encountered in the Program were drilled 50 m along strike of holes AK23-98 and AK23-99," said James Sykes, CEO, President and Director of Baselode.

ACKIO Drill Program Details
36 drill holes for 7,512 metres ("m") were completed during the Program. ACKIO consisted of 30 drill holes for 6,193 m, Mirror consisted of 5 drill holes for 1,145 m, and 1 drill hole for 174 m was completed on a regional exploration target.

Drill holes AK23-95, AK23-96, AK23-98 and AK23-99 were drilled within the centre of Pod 1, with the former two drill holes also targeting moderate to deeper portions of Pod 7 to the west, and the latter two drill holes testing the edge of modeled mineralization in Pod 7.

Extensive shallow mineralization starting within 50 m of surface was confirmed in three drill holes in Pod 1, including 0.41% U3O8 over 34.85 m at 46.65 m (43.5 m true vertical depth) from AK23-95 and 0.36% U3O8 over 20.0 m at 54.0 m (49.7 m true vertical depth) from AK23-96.

Drill holes AK23-95 and AK23-98 confirmed extensive mineralization within the main body of Pod 7, including 0.11% U3O8 over 24.5 m at 134.5 m (125.3 m true vertical depth) from AK23-95 and 0.18% U3O8 over 13.0 m at 132.0 m (101.1 m true vertical depth) from AK23-98. These results expanded the modelled width of Pod 7 (Figure 2).

Drill holes AK23-96 and AK23-99 intersected significant uranium mineralization below Pod 7, expanding the modelled depth of Pod 7 (Figure 2). Pod 7 remains open at depth.

Drill hole AK23-97 tested the gap between Pods 1 and 2 to determine if the two Pods are connected. The drill hole intersected a few minor structures with uranium concentrations below reporting limits but not enough uranium to sufficiently determine Pods 1 and 2 as the same Pod (Figure 2).

Geochemical U3O8 assay results from drill holes AK23-95 to AK23-99 were provided by Saskatchewan Research Council's Geoanalytical Laboratory ("SRC") in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The assay methodology includes SRCs "U3O8 Wt% Assay" analysis package where an aliquot of sample pulp is digested in a concentration of HCL:HNO3. The digested volume is then made up with deionized water for analysis by ICP-OES. Uranium assay results from the remaining fifteen drill holes will be released after being compiled, thoroughly quality checked, and interpreted by the technical team.

ACKIO is 30 km southeast of well-established infrastructure, including an all-season road and powerline between Cameco Corp.'s (TSX: CCO) and Orano's McArthur River mine and Key Lake uranium mill joint ventures. ACKIO is 70 km northeast of the Key Lake mill. The Program was helicopter-supported to lessen any ground-induced environmental impacts within the project area.

  1. All reported drill hole lengths do not represent true thicknesses which have yet to be determined.
  2. * "High-grade uranium mineralization" is defined by the Company as any result with >1.00% U3O8.
About Baselode Energy Corp.
Baselode controls 100% of approximately 264,172 hectares for exploration in the Athabasca Basin area, northern Saskatchewan, Canada. The land package is free of any option agreements or underlying royalties.

The Company discovered the ACKIO near-surface, uranium prospect in September 2021. ACKIO measures greater than 375 m along strike, greater than 150 m wide, comprised of at least 9 separate uranium Pods, with mineralization starting as shallow as 28 m and 32 m beneath the surface in Pods 1 and 7, respectively, and down to approximately 300 m depth beneath the surface with the bulk of mineralization occurring in the upper 120 m. ACKIO remains open at depth, and to the north, south and east.

Baselode's Athabasca 2.0 exploration thesis focuses on discovering near-surface, basement-hosted, high-grade uranium orebodies outside the Athabasca Basin. The exploration thesis is further complemented by the Company's preferred use of innovative and well-understood geophysical methods to map deep structural controls to identify shallow targets for diamond drilling.
