Tisdale Clean Energy To Begin Initial Phase One Drill Program at South Falcon East Uranium Project, Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan
Tisdale Clean Energy To Begin Initial Phase One Drill Program
at South Falcon East Uranium Project, Athabasca Basin,
Saskatchewan
Vancouver B.C., February 8, 2024 – TISDALE CLEAN ENERGY CORP. (“Tisdale” or the “Company”)
(TSX.V: TCEC, OTCQB: TCEFF, FSE: T1KC), is pleased to confirm its upcoming work program at the
South Falcon East Uranium Project which hosts the Fraser Lakes B uranium deposit. The south
Falcon East Project lies 18 km outside the edge of the Athabasca Basin, approximately 50 km east
of the Key Lake uranium mill and former mine.
Tisdale Clean Energy Corp entered into an option agreement with SkyHarbour Resources Ltd in
October of 2022 whereby the company can earn up to a 75% interest in the South Falcon East
property.
The Company is set to begin a preliminary phase one drill program for late winter 2024. The
initial phase one program will consist of up to approximately 1,500 meters of drilling. The priority
will be to confirm and expand the existing mineralization associated with the Fraser Lakes B
Uranium Deposit (Figure 2). Infill drilling will confirm the presence and continuity of existing
mineralization in preparation for a current updated resource estimate and 3D model in the
future. Step out drilling will end eavor to expand the footprint of the deposit, as the current
mineralization is open in all directions. Initial focus will be in extending mineralization along
strike and down dip into the basement.
A secondary priority will be to begin regional exploration by following up promising anomalies
located in the T -Bone Lake area (Figure 2). Regional drilling will focus on the effort to add
additional mineralized zones and deposits along the folded structural package that hosts the
Fraser Lakes B Deposit.
“The commencement of drilling is a milestone in terms of our ability to unlock the value
contained at South Falcon,” said Alex Klenman, CEO. “Right now, nobody is getting much credit
for those pounds in the ground. This will begin to change as we drill an d earn our interest in the
project. The initial phase one plan allows us to meet the early obligations of the earn -in with
Skyharbour. We are hopeful our valuation will grow as a result, therefore reducing the barrier to
entry for institutional support an d giving us the opportunity to implement larger drill programs
moving forward through 2024 and beyond.
“We believe very strongly that both the size and average grade of the resource can be increased.
The last holes drilled in 2015 generated U308 values of .172% and .165% over intervals of two
meters or more. These results established that higher grade uranium exists within the deposit.
We have a very compelling exploration narrative, and one we feel confident in pursuing. No
doubt the first steps are the hardest, and we’re pleased we’re able to begin to execute on the
plan,” continued Mr. Klenman.
“We are thrilled to have Tisdale commence their inaugural drill program at South Falcon East,”
said Jordan Trimble, CEO of Skyharbour Resources. “The project is an advanced-stage exploration
asset that hosts a near -surface uranium resource with strong exp ansion potential as well as
robust discovery upside potential regionally on the property. We are confident that this winter
drill program will unlock further value for both companies’ shareholders with the uranium price
trading near sixteen-year highs,” continued Mr. Trimble.
The field program is anticipated to commence in late February and will be executed by Terralogic
Exploration Inc. under the supervision of Laura Tennent, Project Manager with TerraLogic
Exploration, and C. Trevor Perkins, consulting geologist for Tisdale . The drill program will be
operating out of Skyharbour’s McGowan Lake Camp with helicopter support for the daily drilling
operations. The expected budget for the initial phase one program is anticipated to be $1.25
million.

About the South Falcon East Project
The South Falcon East Project is a uranium exploration project in the southeast Athabasca Basin
and represents a portion of Skyharbour Resources Ltd.’s existing South Falcon Project. The
project covers approximately 12,464 hectares and lies 18 kilometers outside the Athabasca Basin,
approximately 50 kilometers east of the Key Lake Mine.
The South Falcon East Project contains the Fraser Lakes B Uranium /Thorium Deposit with a
historic mineral resource* of 6.9 Mlbs U3O8 inferred at a grade of 0.03% U3O8 and 5.3 Mlbs
ThO2 inferred at a grade of 0.023 % ThO2. Uranium and thorium mineralization discovered to
date is shallow classic Athabasca-style basement mineralization associated with well-developed
EM conductors.
