C29 Metals Limited (ASX:C29) (C29, or the Company) is pleased to announce that it has lodged two (2) new licence applications with the Kazakhstan ministry of Natural Resources. The licenses are designed to cover ~18km of additional prospective strike that the C29 geologists have interpreted as potentially being in the same mineralised trend that hosts the high grade Ulytau Uranium Project and may contain further high-grade uranium mineralisation.
HIGHLIGHTS
- C29 Metals has lodged two (2) new licence applications around the high grade Ulytau Uranium project. The combined size of the applications is ~252km2.
- The Company has held two (2) community consultation days at the local community of Aksuyek. The local community of Aksuyek have shown their strong support for the Company’s planned exploration programs.
- A Social Support Agreement has been signed with the district government, providing the framework for the Company to assist the village of Aksuyek with projects aligned to the social development of the community.
- The approval process for the Company’s planned exploration programs is at an advanced stage & on track.
- The Ulytau Uranium Project contains a Non-JORC foreign estimate of 9.85M/lbs Uranium @ 2,790ppm. *
- Multiple non-JORC foreign drill intersects >6,000ppm U308 from surface have been recorded. *
*Cautionary statement: The foreign estimates and foreign exploration results in this announcement are not reported in accordance with the JORC code 2012. A competent person has not done sufficient work to classify the foreign estimate as a Mineral Resource, or disclose the foreign exploration results, in accordance with the JORC Code 2012. It is uncertain that following evaluation and/or further exploration work the foreign estimate will be able to be reported in accordance with the JORC Code 2012, and it is possible that following further evaluation and/or exploration work that the confidence in the prior reported foreign exploration results may be reduced when reported under the JORC Code 2012. Nothing has come to the attention of the Company that causes it to question the accuracy or reliability of the foreign exploration results, but the Company has not independently validated the foreign exploration results and therefore is not to be regarded as reporting, adopting or endorsing the foreign exploration results.
C29 Metals Managing Director, Mr Shannon Green, commented:
“It is very exciting to have these highly prospective applications lodged as the Company has been moving very quickly in accordance with its stated strategic plan to rapidly grow our prospective footprint in Kazakhstan. The fact that these applications are interpreted as potentially being in the same mineralised trend that hosts the high grade Ulytau Uranium Project is extremely exciting for the Company’s growth aspirations and our exploration programs moving into 2025. It is also very pleasing to be receiving such positive support from our local community and key stakeholders”.
