TORONTO, Jan. 6, 2022 /CNW/ - Baselode Energy Corp. (TSXV:
FIND) (OTCQB: BSENF) ("Baselode" or the "Company") is
pleased to report the final Uranium assay results from the recently
completed diamond drill program on the ACKIO Uranium discovery
("ACKIO"), Hook project ("Hook"), Athabasca Basin area, northern Saskatchewan.
Highlights include:
- A second drill hole confirms high-grade* Uranium at ACKIO;
0.67 wt% U3O8 over 0.5
m at 131.6 m in
AK21-03
- Elevated uranium concentrations of 0.24 wt%
U3O8 over 5.5 m
at 128.6 m in AK21-03 and 0.24 wt%
U3O8 over 2.0 m
at 99.0 m in AK21-04
- Multiple Uranium intersections occurring within 200 m of the surface
"We are very encouraged by intersecting near-surface, high-grade
Uranium mineralization in two drill holes from our first drill
program at the ACKIO discovery. The Uranium results from
drill holes AK21-01, AK21-03 and AK21-04 demonstrate that ACKIO is
part of a robust and fertile Uranium system, with multiple Uranium
occurrences intersected throughout the drill hole lengths.
Our main Uranium intersections from drill holes AK21-01 through
AK21-04 occur between 90 and 125 m
below surface and cover a lateral distance measuring approximately
45 m. Our follow-up drill
program is only weeks away and we're excited to see what we'll be
able to uncover," said James Sykes,
CEO, President and Director of Baselode.
The Company has prepared a quick video presentation for
shareholders and the public to learn more about these Uranium
results (see link below). Additional video presentations will
be released in the coming days and weeks to provide details
regarding the interpretation of massive alteration halo, the
structures observed at ACKIO, and other topics of interest relating
to ACKIO and Hook. Complete Ackio drill results are published in
Table 1, along with a cross-section in Figure 1 below.
