CAT Strategic Deploys Crew to Begin Ground Geophysical Survey of South Preston Uranium Project

CAT Strategic Deploys Crew to Begin Ground Geophysical Survey of South Preston Uranium Project

CAT Strategic Metals Corporation (CSE:CAT)(OTC PINK:CATTF)(FRA:8CH) ("CAT" or the "Company") reports that, further to its news release of July 5, 2022, announcing the completion of a detailed airborne geophysical survey on the South Preston Uranium Project in Canada's prolific Athabasca Basin, the Company has deployed an exploration team to the property in order to begin a highly anticipated exploration program

Two field crews will be conducting a variety of activities; including prospecting with gamma-ray spectrometers for radioactive bedrock and boulders in the areas over, and adjacent to, conductors identified by the recently completed airborne EM-magnetometer survey. The crews will map and sample any bedrock encountered in the target areas.

The team will also attempt to confirm the location of radioactive boulders and bedrock reported in historical records that are part of the Company's extensive database. The goal is to characterize these historical occurrences in terms that may provide a better understanding of the vectors toward mineralization, i.e., type of rock, size and angularity of boulders.

Additionally, bio-geochemical sampling of black spruce in the above-mentioned areas will occur using a grid approach, with profiles on a 150 metre spacing and 25 metre sample site spacing.

CAT's South Preston Uranium Project comprises 29,395 hectares, and shares ~50km of contiguous claim border with Azincourt Energy Corp. ("Azincourt" or "AAZ") which reported uranium enrichment within previously identified alteration zones. Azincourt recently reported the results of their 2022 Winter drill program and CAT is particularly encouraged by the results of the drilling that occurred in Azincourt's G-Zone, which is quite close to the border of CAT's claim block.

According to CAT CEO, Robert Rosner, "Our neighbour to the north, Azincourt Energy, recently reported highly encouraging results from its Winter drill program, and we are particularly interested in the drilling they did in the G-Zone. 9 holes were drilled in this zone that appear to be following a trend of hydrothermal alteration with each subsequent new drill hole getting closer and closer to CAT's Claim. This suggests to us that whatever system they are encountering on their property could very well extend onto our property as well. Now that we have a crew in the field at South Preston, we are quite excited to add new information to the data-set that will be intrinsic to our future exploration activities"

As a result of the ongoing success of Azincourt's exploration and drilling activities in the area, CAT's management and consulting group held an informal first meeting with Azincourt's team to discuss in general terms the potential of the area and the various exploration activities conducted in the past and present, and what the most logical next step work programs might look like on both sides of the property line.

Alex Klenman, CEO of Azincourt Energy, stated; "We are quite pleased to collaborate with the team from CAT". Both of our companies obviously share an interest in regional exploration efforts and we feel that both companies can benefit from an ongoing, open dialogue that may be advantageous to both of our exploration plans. We are following CAT closely, as they are with us, so we're going to develop a good working relationship that helps both CAT and Azincourt vector towards meaningful and impactful discovery."

Global Uranium Mining Output Expected To Rise 11.7% in 2024 Due To Kazakh and Canadian Growth

Global Uranium Mining Output Expected To Rise 11.7% in 2024 Due To Kazakh and Canadian Growth

FN Media Group News Commentary - The Global Uranium production is projected to grow this year and in the years to come. A report in Mining Technology said that the Global uranium production is expected to grow by 11.7% to more than 60.3 megatonnes (Mt) in 2024. The increase will predominantly be fueled by rising output from key producers such as Kazakhstan and Canada. Kazakhstan is expected to deliver the highest uranium production growth in 2024, driven by the planned higher output from the country's largest uranium producer, Kazatomprom . The continuous ramp-up of Canada's McArthur River uranium mine will also contribute to the global increase. The report added: "Uranium output to rise 11.7% in 2024 due to Kazakh and Canadian growth… and production will be bolstered by the ramp-up of Canada's McArthur River mine. Kazakhstan accounted for 37.3% (20.1kt) of total global uranium supply in 2023. Despite a 5.1% dip in output in 2023 due to planned lower production from Kazatomprom, its output is expected to recover in 2024, with forecast production of 23.2kt. This will be supported by the company's plan to produce between 21.2 kilotonnes (kt) and 21.6kt on a 100% basis, while production is expected to increase to between 25.9 and 26.7kt with no restrictions in 2025." Active mining companies in the markets this week include Stallion Uranium Corp. (OTCQB: STLNF) (TSX-V: STUD), enCore Energy Corp. (NASDAQ: EU), Skyharbour Resources Ltd.'s (OTCQX: SYHBF) (TSX-V: SYH), Uranium Energy Corp (NYSE American: UEC), ATHA Energy Corp. (OTCQB: SASKF) (TSX.V: SASK).
