CAT Announces Imminent Start to Contracted Heli-borne AEM Survey of its South Preston Uranium Project in the Athabasca Basin

CAT Announces Imminent Start to Contracted Heli-borne AEM Survey of its South Preston Uranium Project in the Athabasca Basin

CAT Strategic Metals Corporation (CSE:CAT) ("CAT" or the "Company") is pleased to advise that further to its news release of April 4, 2022, the Company has signed an agreement with Balch Exploration Consultants ("BECI") of Mississauga, Ontario, to carry out an approximate 1,000 line-kilometre detailed helicopter-borne geophysical survey. This survey will cover two key portions of the Company's flagship South Preston Uranium Property, which is located on the southwestern margin of the Athabasca Basin, approximately 35 km from the Fission Uranium Corp.("FCU") and NexGen Energy Ltd. ("NXE") uranium deposits in the Patterson Lake South area. CAT's property lies adjacent to, and directly on-strike with, EM conductors attributed to graphitic metasediments recently discovered less than a kilometre away by Azincourt Energy Corp. ("AAZ") as well as historical conductors that were discovered in the 1970s by Denison Mines. The combined airborne EM and magnetometer survey scheduled for completion in May using the advanced AirTEM system will explore areas not previously surveyed by EM and only partially covered by historical reconnaissance-level radiometric surveying

This geophysical survey forms part of an integrated, multi-stage exploration program being managed for CAT by well-known exploration consultants Watt, Griffis and McOuat Limited ("WGM"), who were engaged in October, 2021 for the purpose of evaluating and exploring the South Preston property for economically viable uranium mineralization. WGM's comprehensive review of historical reports, completed in January, revealed that the South Preston property covered geological terrane just south of the margin of the southern Athabasca Basin generally comparable to the Patterson Lake South area. It also revealed the presence of untested zones of anomalous radioactivity in bedrock and the occurrence of uranium mineralization at one site associated with sheared graphitic metasedimentary rocks. These historical reports made little or no mention of follow-up exploration in these areas which lie adjacent to the current Athabasca unconformity. WGM concluded that the minimal follow-up exploration in the 1970s and 1980s was due to the absence of sandstone cover which was assumed at the time to be a vital component of the geological model and exploration targeting, and that overall, the South Preston property merited further exploration using current technology and concepts.

Based on his experience in uranium exploration in the Athabasca Basin in the 1970's and 1980's for Gulf Minerals Canada Limited, WGM's Vice-President and project manager Al Workman, P.Geo., noted similarities to the South Preston project and remarked in communications to CAT management that "Many current explorers in the Athabasca Basin have forgotten, or perhaps were never aware, that Gulf's original 1967 exploration program that discovered the Rabbit Lake Mine came very close to failing. Due to its focus on sandstone-type deposits, the radiometric anomaly that led eventually to the Rabbit Lake discovery was initially ignored because it occurred in an area lacking Athabasca sandstone cover. Persistence and Gulf's willingness to re-evaluate its assumptions led to that discovery which arguably changed the world of uranium exploration".

CAT management and WGM look forward to the results of the forthcoming geophysical surveying, which will be a key first step in the process of exploring the South Preston Uranium Property. A summer program is planned which will entail ground follow-up by a WGM geological team in favourable areas, particularly where conductors are identified.
