Category 2 Environmental Permit Received

C29 Metals receives official Category 2 environmental permit, MOU signed with Volkov Geology (100% owned subsidiary of Katomprom the national & only Uranium producer in Kazakhstan) strong local community support, and a Social Support Agreement signed.

C29 Metals Limited (ASX:C29) (C29, or the Company) is pleased to announce that it has received the official Category 2 environmental permit allowing drilling to be undertaken at the Ulytau uranium project with the Official permit received from the Natural Resources and Environmental Management Department.


HIGHLIGHTS

  • C29 Metals receives official drill permit, the Category 2 environmental permit from Natural Resources and Environmental Management Department.
  • The Company is pleased to advise that it is at a very advanced stage of finalising the commercial agreement with Volkov Geology and finalising the drilling contact.
  • Initial drilling will see several key strategic holes targeting the mineralisation with the highest geological confidence.
  • Obtaining the official permit in rapid time once again demonstrates the positive operating environment in Kazakhstan and the support the company is enjoying.

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.

Project Location and history

The Ulytau Uranium Project is located in the Almaty Region of Southern Kazakhstan approximately 15 km southwest of the Bota-Burum mine, one of the largest uranium deposits mined in the former Soviet Union. Exploration for uranium has been carried out in the area since 1953. Production of Uranium at the Bota Burum mine next to the village of Aksuyek commenced in 1956 and continued until 19911.

Total mined reserves of Bota Burum are quoted at 20,000 tonnes of Uranium (44 million pounds)1,2.

Drilling at Cheechoo Intersects 12.08 g/t Au Over 20.3 Metres

Drilling at Cheechoo Intersects 12.08 g/t Au Over 20.3 Metres

VAL-D’OR, QUÉBEC–(Marketwired – March 29, 2016) – Golden Valley Mines Ltd. (“Golden Valley” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE:GZZ) announces partial results of gold assays from diamond drillhole #52 on the Cheechoo gold property (“Cheechoo gold project”). The information that follows has been prepared by partner and program operator Sirios Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SOI) and has not been independently verified by Golden Valley:

“Following observations of visible gold indicating potentially a significant gold zone in this drill hole, Sirios geologists extracted a series of drill core samples for priority assay. It shows, between 120 m and 140.3 m, a section grading 12.08 g/t Au over 20.3 metres including 48.38 g/t over 4.4 metres (uncut grades, true width unknown). The gold mineralization is distributed in both meta-sedimentary rocks and the tonalite, thus overlapping the contact of these two lithologies. Gold is associated with the presence of numerous folded millimetric veinlets of quartz-feldspar. Only the section between 113.5 m and 147 m was assayed to date in this drill hole, results are detailed in the table below.

Major 50% Upgrade Boosts Lo Herma Uranium Resource to 8.57Mlbs, Scoping Study Initiated

GTI Energy Ltd (GTI or Company) is pleased to update the uranium Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) at its Lo Herma Project (Lo Herma or the Project) located in Wyoming’s Powder River Basin (Figure 1). The MRE for the Project is focused on mining by In-Situ Recovery (ISR) methods and is reported at an appropriate cut-off grade of 200 ppm U3O8 and a minimum grade thickness (GT) of 0.2 per mineralised horizon as:

6.21 million tonnes of total mineralisation at average grade of 630 ppm eU3O8 for 8.57 million pounds (Mlbs) of eU3O8 contained metal classified as 2.78Mlbs of Indicated (32%) and 5.79Mlbs of Inferred.

Nick Hodge: Uranium and Gold Outlook for 2025, Plus Battery Passport Profits

In an interview at the New Orleans Investment Conference, Nick Hodge, publisher at Digest Publishing, discussed the growing prevalence of "battery passports" and the investment angle he sees there.

He also shared his thoughts on how to invest in uranium at this point in the cycle, saying that power-intensive artificial intelligence (AI) data centers are boosting demand for the commodity, which was already strong.

"I've been a uranium bull for a long time — our moment is here. You can't have AI without uranium," said Hodge.

Nuclear Fuels Aims to Boost US Domestic Uranium Supply Chain, CEO Greg Huffman says

Issues facing the global uranium supply chain have created a significant opportunity for emerging explorers and producers to leverage the growing demand for nuclear energy and build more secure and stable domestic supply chains.

In an interview with the Investing News Network, Nuclear Fuels (CSE:NF) CEO and President Greg Huffman said his company is strategically positioned to supply growing US uranium demand by advancing its uranium projects in Wyoming.

“We have massive, massive increases in terms of expected demand for uranium,” he said. “What we at Nuclear Fuels are focused on is being able to come up with new sources of domestic US uranium to help supply that increase in demand for nuclear power.”
