Baselode's First Drill Program set to Begin on its Hook Uranium Project

 
 

  TORONTO , Aug. 9, 2021  Baselode Energy Corp. (TSXV: FIND) (OTCQB: BSENF) (" Baselode " or the " Company ") is pleased to announce plans to begin drilling on its 100% owned Hook Uranium Project (" Hook ") anticipated to start within two weeks.

 
  1. Diamond drilling permits have been received from Saskatchewan's Ministry of Environment
  2.  
  3. A high-resolution airborne radiometric and magnetics geophysical survey (the " Survey ") has identified high-priority drill targets
  4.  
  5. A field crew has mobilized to site to follow-up surface radiometric anomalies of interest and to prepare for the drill program
  6.  
  7. First Nations and northern stakeholders continue to be engaged, informed and are providing various services in support of this drill program.
  8.  

"We are excited to announce Baselode's first drill program on our Hook Project. With the Hook Survey completed we have identified several overlapping radiometric, magnetic and gravity features which suggest the presence of fluid flow and structural traps required for uranium mineralization that will be targeted with the drill program.  In particular, the Survey highlighted a high-priority target area consisting of a cluster of strong radiometric uranium anomalies occurring over a 2 kilometre strike length (see Target area 1 in Figure 1).  We have mobilized a field crew to identify the geological provenance of the radiometric anomalies in eight areas of interest in order to prioritize our drill targets.  We will be releasing an informative video shortly to provide investors with more details regarding the exciting drill targets that exist at Hook," said James Sykes , CEO and President of Baselode.

 

  Planned Drill Program
Baselode is anticipating a total of 10 to 15 drill holes for a total of 2,500 metres with each drill hole ranging from 150 to 250 metres drill hole depth.  The drill program is planned with helicopter support to achieve broader target area coverage and to lessen any ground-induced environmental impacts within the project area.  A field crew has been mobilized to Hook to start preparing drill pad locations and building a core shack.  The drill and helicopter contractors, accommodations, and support staff have been organized and are ready to begin the drill program.

 

  Airborne Radiometric Survey
Baselode engaged the same airborne company that delineated Fission Uranium Corp.'s PLS high-grade uranium boulder field which led to the discovery of the Triple R uranium deposit.  The Hook Survey consisted of 12,115 line kilometres with 50 m flight line-spacing and low-level flying to maximize near surface radiometric and magnetic results.  The radiometric results have highlighted eight anomalous areas requiring ground truthing, including a high-priority cluster of strong uranium anomalies over a 2 kilometre strike-length on parallel magnetic trends within 500 metres of each other.  The field crew will be investigating the eight anomalous radiometric areas.

 

Baselode remains engaged in positive discussions with Indigenous communities and northern stakeholders for all of its exploration activities and projects. Baselode is committed to mutually beneficial working relationships with Indigenous and northern communities while mitigating any exploration impacts on traditional Indigenous lands and Rights.

Terra Clean Energy Ramps Up Summer Drilling Plans, Eyes Resource Update

Terra Clean Energy (CSE:TCEC,OTCQB:TCEFF,FWB:C9O0) President and CEO Greg Cameron outlines the company's upcoming summer drill program at the South Falcon East uranium project, building on strong results from a winter campaign at the Fraser Lakes B deposit.

“The plan is to get up to 2,500 meters back into this new area of interest. Hopefully drill into what we're defining as an unconformity basement-hosted uranium deposit with significantly higher grade than we currently have,” he said.

“We would have the ability to update that resource report in some fashion, maybe early 2026 or mid-2026, so those are the two key catalysts. But it's all about drilling and adding pounds to the current resource and, more importantly, significantly enhancing that grade which we think we have," Cameron added.

Top 3 ASX Uranium Stocks of 2025

Uranium broke out in 2024, with the spot price rising to a 17 year high of US$106 per pound early in the year. Despite a pullback to about US$78, uranium is still more than 40 percent higher than it was two years ago.

Although the market is dealing with ample supply and uncertain demand in 2025, experts are predicting a bright future as countries around the world pursue energy security goals.

Against that backdrop, ASX-listed uranium companies have been making moves in 2025.
