On the 28 October 2024, the Company announced the signing of an MOU with Volkov Geology, a 100% owned subsidiary of Katomprom the national & only Uranium producer in Kazakhstan.

Negotiations have continued and the Company is pleased to advise that we are at a very advanced stage of finalising the commercial agreement with Volkov Geology and finalising the commercial agreement with the independent drilling contractor.

As this initial program will be short in nature the drilling will see several key strategic holes drilled to test and verify the mineralisation in a small area of the Ulytau tenement. with final design of the initial drilling program at an advanced stage it is now planned to extend the initial diamond drill holes to a depth of ~500m. The greater depth is to test the area of highest geological confidence and to commence testing the geological theory that the mineralised trend is a part of a larger multi element geological occurrence.

The Company’s geology team has an established base of operations at the nearby village of Aksuyek where C29 enjoys strong community support.

C29 Metals Managing Director, Mr Shannon Green, commented:

“It is very exciting to have the official environmental permit enabling our team to commence the initial diamond drilling program this season. Obtaining this permit so quickly after receiving official notification that all regulatory requirements for the issue of the drill permit had been met once again demonstrates the positive operating environment in Kazakhstan and the support the company is enjoying”.

Diamond Drill Program

The initial diamond drill program has been designed to test and verify historical drill intersects and will see several key strategic holes drilled in a small area of the Ulytau tenement. With final design of the initial drilling program at an advanced stage it is now planned to extend the initial diamond drill holes to a depth of ~500m. The greater depth is to test the area of highest geological confidence and to commence testing the geological theory that the mineralised trend is a part of a larger multi element geological occurrence.

The geology team will be utilising a handheld XRF unit in the field providing real time geological information to the team and valuable geological data that will assist in prioritising the samples for assay.
