Elevate Uranium

Koppies Mineralisation Increased to Over 19 km

Elevate Uranium Limited (“Elevate Uranium”, or the “Company”) (ASX:EL8) (OTCQX:ELVUF) is pleased to announce the discovery of a new uranium mineralised zone extending over a further 6.6 kilometres to the south of Koppies 2, now called Koppies 4.

Highlights:

  • New discovery (Koppies 4) extends uranium mineralisation by another 6.6 kilometres to the south of Koppies 2.
  • Closer spaced drilling confirms continuity of uranium mineralisation at Koppies 3 discovery, confirming the 10 kilometre extension northeast of Koppies.
  • Koppies 3 extends mineralised width up to 2.4 kilometres wide.
  • Uranium mineralisation at Koppies now extends a total length of 19.2 kilometres.
  • Two drill rigs working on exploration drilling at Koppies.
  • Potential to add significantly to the existing 20 Mlb U3O8 Mineral Resource at Koppies.
This follows the previous discovery of a 10 kilometre uranium mineralised zone to the northeast of the Koppies 2. This area was named Koppies 3 in an ASX release titled “Koppies Mineralisation Extended by 10 km” dated 28 September 2022, which was only months after announcing the initial JORC (2012) Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate of 20.3 million pounds eU3O8 at Koppies 1 and 2, see ASX release titled “22% Increase in Mineral Resources” dated 4 May 2022 (See Page 6).

Elevate Uranium’s Managing Director, Murray Hill, commented:

“The Koppies project is growing bigger and better with each drilling program. In May 2022, the Company announced a 20.3 million pound maiden uranium resource at Koppies 1 and 2. Since that time, we have discovered Koppies 3 which extended the mineralisation to the north east by 10 kilometres and now Koppies 4 which extends the mineralisation 6.6 kilometres to the south west. We have been saying since we announced the 20.3 million pound maiden resource at Koppies, that we believed there was significant potential for growth at Koppies, and here is proof. The mineralisation in the greater Koppies area now has a length of 19.2 kilometres.

Two drill rigs continue to operate in the greater Koppies area to further locate and define the uranium mineralisation. The Koppies 3 and 4 discoveries have the potential to substantially expand the Koppies uranium resource.

Koppies mineralisation is extensive, shallow lying and in a Tier 1 uranium mining jurisdiction, where uranium mining has been undertaken for the past 46 years.”

Renforth’s Parbec Surface Program Concluded, Succesfully Intersects Mineralized Lenses

Renforth Resources (CSE:RFR) (OTC:RFHRF) (“Renforth” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that field exploration at Parbec for May/June 2019 has concluded with the successful intersection of, amongst other positive developments, quartz veins on surface as projected from drillholes intersecting gold south of the Cadillac Break associated with a diorite splay, previously disclosed drill results which were projected to surface as seen below included 5.55 g/t Au over 0.5m in Renforth’s PAR-18-86 and in the earlier PAR-08-03 drilled by Globex 2.35 g/t Au over 3.3m.

This program has demonstrated that Parbec, has significant structural complexity, known in some areas to be associated with gold, in other newly exposed areas assays are pending. The program targeted 4 areas of interest, namely (1) the “Diorite Nose” in the NW, where the Diorite Splay and Cadillac Break interact and prior trenching discovered gold, an area (2) south of this, over the Pontiac Sediments and Diorite Splays, an area where prior drill holes intersected gold at depth, (3) the examination of known outcrop in an undrilled area of the Cadillac Break and (4) target gold bearing 2018 grab samples in an undrilled area near the ramp face.

Laramide Announces the Appointment of Vice-President for Operations and Strategic Planning, U.S. and Provides Update on Drilling Activity in Australia

Laramide Resources Ltd. ("Laramide" or the "Company") (TSX: LAM) (ASX: LAM) (OTCQX: LMRXF), a uranium mine development and exploration company with globally significant assets in the United States and Australia is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Josh Leftwich as Vice-President for Operations and Strategic Planning, U.S.A. Mr. Leftwich's substantive professional expertise will be instrumental in advancing Laramide's U.S. uranium assets through development and into production.

Laramide Resources Ltd. Logo (CNW Group/Laramide Resources Ltd.)

Mr. Josh Leftwich's career includes a role as Director of Radiation Safety and Licensing, reporting directly to the President of Cameco. At Cameco, he was a key senior manager in charge of operational compliance and oversight of three mine operations and seven development projects. He was the key contact for all tribal relations which required development and administering of policy processes, as well, he was the key regulatory contact for all state and federal communications including the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

His other relevant uranium mining company experience includes negotiating complex regulatory issues at Uranium Energy Corp. (UEC); and, as a key component of the initial start-up team at Mestena Uranium (now The Alta Mesa Project owned by enCore Energy and Boss Energy), he was responsible for all permitting activities including demonstrating and communicating groundwater restoration capabilities and establishing health, safety and environmental/radiation programs from greenfield to production.

"We are very pleased to welcome Josh to Laramide Resources and back to the uranium industry where he began his career," said Marc Henderson , CEO and President of Laramide Resources Ltd. "Each of our U.S. projects are development stage with significant resources and can make a meaningful contribution to future US domestic uranium production, which is now a bipartisan US government objective.  This political backdrop should provide a tailwind for our assets and Josh's skills will enhance our progress towards achieving our aggressive development timeline."

Westmoreland Uranium Project Drilling Update

Drilling at the Westmoreland project is proceeding well with the first three of seven planned diamond holes at the Amphitheatre prospect now completed. Initial core sampling of shallow mineralised zones is underway, guided by downhole gamma probe and handheld scintillometer data. The first samples are being prepared for delivery next week to ALS Laboratories.

The first five drillholes at Amphitheatre are targeting immediate extensions of the known mineralisation and to understand any structural controls.  The last two holes planned for this study at Amphitheatre will be to step out and to test over 300m to the north under alluvial cover to get a sense of the potential scale of this project.

As part of the 2024 resource extension program, a second drill rig will arrive later this month to commence drilling at Huarabagoo and Junnagunna to test whether the zones between these two deposits can be linked. The combined program will comprise 10,000 to 12,000 meters over 100 drillholes and includes the satellite deposit at Long Pocket with an objective of expanding and updating the Westmoreland Mineral Resource Estimation.

Qualified/Competent Person
The information in this announcement relating to Exploration Results is based on information compiled or reviewed by Mr. Rhys Davies , a contractor to the Company. Mr. Davies is a Member of The Australasian Institute of Geoscientists and has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the JORC 2012 Edition of the 'Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves', and is a Qualified Person under the guidelines of the National Instrument 43-101.
