Drilling Update: New Uranium Roll Fronts Confirmed At Loki

GDB Total Roll Front Trends Now Increased To 7.5 Miles

GTI Energy Ltd (GTI or Company) advises that drilling at Company’s ISR uranium projects in Wyoming’s Great Divide Basin (GDB or Basin) is now finished for the 2022 season with 103 mud rotary exploration drill holes completed. Drilling of 70 holes was previously reported at the Thor prospect (Thor) (ASX release from 8 November 2022) and an additional 33 holes combined have now been completed at the Odin, Teebo & Loki prospects. These 33 holes have discovered an additional combined 2.65 miles of ISR amenable uranium mineralised roll front trends (Trends) increasing the total Trend length for GTI’s projects in the Basin to 7.5 miles.


Highlights

  • Trends at Loki, Teebo & Odin with best hole to date 0.78 GT1 vs. target 0.2 GT cut-off2
  • 29 of 33 holes drilled across Odin, Teebo & Loki encountered uranium mineralisation
  • 2.65 miles of new projected roll front trends discovered at Odin, Teebo & Loki
  • Total projected roll front trends at GTI’s GDB projects increased to 7.5 miles (39,614 ft)

DRILLING AT ODIN, LOKI & TEEBO

Drilling at GTI’s Thor, Odin, Teebo and Loki, in the GDB, is now finished for the 2022 season with 103 holes completed. This total includes a combined 33 drill holes most recently completed at Odin, Teebo & Loki in addition to the 70 drill holes for 34,010 feet completed earlier at Thor and previously reported to ASX on 8th November 2022. Results included discovery of an additional 1.39 miles of uranium roll front Trend at Thor which increased the total for the Thor project to date 4.85 miles.

Odin, Teebo & Loki are located within circa 10 miles of the Company’s Thor project (Figure 2). Odin & Teebo lie adjacent to Uranium Energy Corp’s (UEC) Antelope Project. Loki sits south of Antelope & north of URE’s Lost Creek. Drilling targeted exploration of mineralised Trends interpreted from historic information also used at Thor.

Drilling at Odin (18 holes), Teebo (10 holes) and Loki (5 holes) successfully encountered uranium mineralisation at all 3 prospects (Table 1). Results at Teebo & Loki are particularly encouraging where 14 of 15 holes encountered uranium mineralisation and 6 of those 15 holes met or exceeded cutoff for both Grade & Grade Thickness (GT).

33 holes combined were completed at Odin, Teebo & Loki for a total of 30,210 feet (9,208 metres) of drilling (Figures 2, 3 & 4). The drilling successfully confirmed GTI’s exploration hypothesis that Trends are present in the targeted locations & that mineralisation is below the water table at potentially viable depths for ISR mining. Initial results (Table 1) are observed as follows:

  • 29 holes encountered uranium mineralisation below the water table.
  • 6 holes met both grade & GT cutoff with an average of 0.45 GT – 2.25 x the target cut-off3.
  • 13 of the remaining holes met grade cut-off but not GT, 10 had trace mineral & 4 were barren.

Executive Director Bruce Lane commented “The strike rate for this round of exploration drilling at Odin, Teebo and Loki has been excellent with uranium mineralisation present in about 90% of holes to date. Results at Loki have identified new roll front uranium mineralisation at viable ISR depths. It’s exciting to see strong results at Loki in such close proximity to UR Energy’s Lost Creek. Drilling this year in the Great Divide has increased our total roll front trend length to 7.5 miles & represents significant progress towards our goal of delivering a maiden resource statement in 2023”.

Rigs Secured For Wyoming Uranium Drilling & Utah Fieldwork Completed

GTI Resources Ltd (GTI or Company) is pleased to advise that 2 mud rotary drill rigs have been secured for its planned drilling campaign at the Thor ISR uranium project in Wyoming’s Great Divide basin (Figure 1). As previously advised, GTI is on track to commence drilling during December. This maiden drill program is designed to confirm the grade and tenor of uranium mineralisation that was previously identified by Kerr McGee in the 1970’s & 80’s and to ultimately support definition of an economic uranium resource.

US to Spend US$2.7 Billion on Low-enriched Uranium from Domestic Sources

The US Department of Energy (DOE) said it plans to invest up to US$2.7 billion to strengthen the domestic nuclear fuel supply chain as part of President Joe Biden's Investing in America agenda.

In a request for proposals issued on June 27, the DOE said it is looking to buy low-enriched uranium (LEU) from domestic sources in order to enhance national energy security and create new jobs in the nuclear industry.

The DOE also wants to stimulate the development of uranium enrichment capacity in the US, and believes that this initiative will promote the safe and responsible buildout of facilities designed for this purpose.

About Laramide Resources Ltd.:

Laramide is focused on exploring and developing high-quality uranium assets in Australia and the western United States . The company's portfolio comprises predominantly advanced uranium projects in districts with historical production or superior geological prospectivity. The assets have been carefully chosen for their size, production potential, and the two large projects are considered to be late-stage, low-technical risk projects.

The Westmoreland project in Queensland, Australia , is one of the largest uranium development assets held by a junior mining company. This project has a PEA that describes an economically robust, open-pit mining project with a mine life of 13 years. Additionally, the adjacent Murphy Project in the Northern Territory of Australia is a greenfield asset that Laramide strategically acquired to control the majority of the mineralized system along the Westmoreland trend.

In the United States , Laramide's assets include the NRC licensed Crownpoint-Churchrock Uranium Project. An NI 43-101 PEA study completed in 2023 has described an in-situ recovery ("ISR") production methodology. The Company also owns the La Jara Mesa project in the historic Grants mining district of New Mexico and an underground project, called La Sal , in Lisbon Valley, Utah .

This press release contains forward-looking statements. The actual results could differ materially from a conclusion, forecast or projection in the forward-looking information.
