Baselode Energy (FIND) has unveiled its best result to date from the ACKIO uranium discovery.

The geochemical assay for AK22-069 yielded 0.90 per cent U3O8 over 31 m (69.3 m true vertical depth), including 1.86 per cent U3O8 over 12.5 m (79.7 m true vertical depth) and 5.61 per cent U3O8 over 0.5 m.

The drill hole stems from the completed 22,500 m diamond drill program at the discovery on the Hook Project in Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin.

AK22-069 was drilled down dip of holes AK22-051 (0.50 per cent U3O8 over 28.9 m) and AK22-052 (0.58 per cent U3O8 over 27.6 m).

The hole confirms near-surface, high-grade mineralization is continuous and more concentrated at depth, still within 100 m of surface. This substantiates the potential at ACKIO for a uranium open-pit mining scenario.

Uranium assay results from the remaining 18 drill holes will be released as they are received.

President and CEO James Sykes spoke with Sabrina Cuthbert about the new results.
