AZINCOURT ENERGY
CORP.
(TSXV: AAZ) (OTCQB: AZURF)
("
Azincourt
" or the "
Company
") is pleased to announce that
the introductory work program has been completed on the Harrier Project in the Central Mineral Belt in
Labrador, Canada.
About the Harrier Project
Azincourt's Harrier Project - which includes its previously acquired Snegamook deposit — covers
49,400 hectares over five distinct licence groups, representing one of the largest land positions in the
Central Mineral Belt of Labrador.
The Harrier Project straddles key uranium-bearing structural corridors
directly adjacent to and on trend with Atha Energy's Moran Lake and Anna Lake projects, and Paladin
Energy's Michelin project - placing Azincourt at the center of a proven and growing uranium camp.
The Harrier Project, with over a dozen known uranium mineralization zones and surface rock samples
grading up to 7.48% U
O
(and >1.0% U
O
in 10 distinct zones), offers a rare combination of grade,
scale, and geological continuity. Notably, only 124 drill holes (19,851 metres total, over half of this on the
former Snegamook project area) have ever been completed across the combined property -leaving
ample opportunity for new discovery with modern methods.
2025 Summer Work Program
The introductory work program was completed in late August and consisted of helicopter supported
reconnaissance of existing identified uranium occurrences and prospecting of previously identified
radiometric anomalies. A crew consisting of one pilot, two geologists, including Trevor Perkins,
Azincourt's Vice President of Exploration, and three prospectors conducted the field program.
The
purpose of this program was to expand the target inventory on the project and prepare the higher priority
targets for a diamond drilling program.
Eleven previously identified uranium showings and the Snegamook Deposit were visited by Azincourt's
VP Exploration to get an understanding of the characteristic and settings of the uranium mineralization
present on the property. At this time, the focus was on those showings that had uranium mineralization
present in outcrop, as less work is required to get these targets "drill ready".
Two new uranium showings
have been identified in outcrop in the Boiteau Lake area and in boulders and outcrop east of the
Anomaly 7 area.
Assay sample results are pending for these areas.
Snegamook Deposit
A high priority target for diamond drilling is the Snegamook Uranium Deposit, where drilling in 2007 and
2008 to follow up a radon gas anomaly identified uranium mineralization located 1.3 km along strike to
the southeast of the Two Time Zone (Indicated and Inferred resource of 5.55 Mlb U
3
O
8
, Silver Spruce
Resources, June 2008).
17 drill holes intersected a 20 to 50 m wide section of uranium bearing
brecciated and altered monzodiorite with moderate to strong chlorite, hematite and carbonate alteration,
the same geological setting as the Two Time Zone. (Figure 3)
The location of the drill core from the 2007-2008 exploration programs was confirmed at the old camp
site used by Silver Spruce Resources.
Much of the core is in decent shape considering it has been
exposed to the elements for almost 20 years.
Several drill holes that intersected the Snegamook
Deposit mineralization were examined and a few samples were collected to confirm uranium grades.
Reconnaissance of the deposit area was also undertaken to examine ground conditions for future drilling
and examine the old drill pads for confirmation of hole numbers, locations, and hole orientation.
Many
drill pads were easily recognizable and marked with casings and tagged wooden posts present.
In 2008 a preliminary resource estimate for the Snegamook Zone was prepared by Silver Spruce
Resources, however it was never finalized in a report or filed.
Diamond drilling and preparing an updated
NI 43-101 compliant resource for this deposit will be a priority for Azincourt, in conjunction with the 2026
field program.
Moran Heights
The Moran Heights Prospect is underlain by a sequence of sandstone, conglomerate and minor
intercalated volcanic flows. These rocks are overlain by a thick sequence of subaerial bimodal volcanic
rocks ranging from andesite and basaltic andesite to ignimbrites and rhyolite.
The prospect is along
trend of, and in a similar geologic setting as the Moran Lake C uranium deposit.
The showing itself is identified from outcrop and an exploration pit along the southeast side of a high
northeast trending ridge. Extensive work was conducted sporadically between 1979 and 2006
consisting of trenching and diamond drilling.
One sample collected from the pit in 2024 assayed 7.48%
U
3
O
8
.
The historical diamond drilling, oriented to the northwest into the ridge from the base, intersected
grades up to 0.2% U
3
O
8.
It appears that the historical drilling may have undercut the higher-grade
mineralization.
A 3D interpretation of this showing will be completed prior to follow-up drilling.
Boiteau Lake Group
The Boiteau Lake Group is the northernmost block of the Harrier Project and straddles the Kanariktok
Bay Shear Zone (KSZ, Figure 1).
The licences are underlain by a sequence of sandstone, conglomerate,
and massive volcanic flows.
The Boiteau Lake is located in a different structural setting than the rest of
the Harrier Project.
Airborne magnetics, Landsat imagery, air photo interpretation and ground investigation identified a 12
km long, northeast trending structural corridor located in the heart of the Boiteau claims. Significant
uranium mineralization was found in 2008 in nine separate bedrock showings over a strike length of
nearly 4.5 km.
Samples returned very high grades, including 1.48% U3O8 and 1.10% U3O8.
The source
of these boulders has yet to be determined. The main structure controlling the area trends southwest,
parallel to the KSZ and dips steeply to the northwest.
At the south end of the Boiteau trend, the Boiteau Main showing has pitchblende and secondary uranium
disseminated in metasedimentary rocks associated with steep west trending fractures dipping to the
north.
Samples from this area collected in 2024 returned up to 0.32% U
3
O
8.
The Boiteau Central showing consists of a sequence of steeply dipping splayed fractures containing
pitchblende (Figure 4) in slatey grey metasediments in the footwall of a significant southwest trending
fault and trending perpendicular to that fault.
Samples from 2024 in these fractures returned grades of up
to 0.24% U
3
O
8.
The Boiteau North showing consists of pitchblende veins in a grey metasediment dipping moderately to
the west-northwest on the southeast side in the footwall of a southwest trending fault.
Samples collected
by Koba in 2024 returned 0.38% U
3
O
8
.
A new uranium showing has been identified during Azincourt's 2025 summer program, approximately
200 m to the northeast of the Boiteau Main showing.
This outcrop extends at least 30 m with anomalous
radioactivity identified reading up to 7,200 cps on a Radiation Solutions RS-120 "Super-Scint"
scintillometer.
This outcrop is to the west of the ridge marking the footwall of the structure and location of
the Boiteau Main showing and may indicate the presence of mineralization in the hanging wall of the
fault.
Assay results are pending for samples collected from this outcrop.
Anomaly 7
The Anomaly 7 Prospect was first discovered in the 1970s. Mineralization has been mapped over 3.5km
of strike. In 2024, an outcrop sample returned values of 1.71% U3O8.
In addition, historical rock samples
have returned assays up to 2.12% U3O8.
Mineralization appears as pitchblende and secondary uranophane hosted in north-northwest trending
steeply dipping veins where these veins intersect a series of parallel east-northeast trending hematite
altered breccias. Old drill pads were found along the edge of the anomaly, but there is an indication that
some of these holes never went deep enough to intersect the mineralization.
Other Showings
The Anomaly 17, Brook, Fish Hawk North, and Fish Hawk South showings were examined and have
similar structural settings as Anomaly 7, with intersecting fractures hosting pitchblende mineralization.
Historical core was discovered in the woods from the Fish Hawk South showing, however the condition
of the core precludes its usefulness for helping to interpret the area.
The Minisinakwa showing has good grades returned from boulders along an east-west trending splay
fault.
Mineralization is hosted in a magnetite rich metasediment.
Drilling underneath boulder trend
identified the magnetite rich lithologies, but not the mineralization.
"I was excited to get into the field with the crew and have a good look at the Harrier Project," commented
Trevor Perkins, Vice President of Exploration. "The structural setting seems relatively straightforward.
We have targets at some of these showings that I would consider drill-ready," continued Mr. Perkins.
"At
the same time, this is a huge land package with many additional anomalies yet to be examined. Our next
step is planning a diamond drilling program for 2026."

About the Central Mineral Belt
Labrador's Central Mineral Belt ("CMB") is one of Canada's most underexplored yet highly prospective
uranium regions. Known for its numerous uranium and base metal deposits and showings, the CMB has
seen renewed interest due to growing global demand for secure, domestic uranium supply as countries
aim to increase nuclear power capacity to meet net-zero emissions goals.
The CMB hosts multiple large-scale uranium discoveries, including Paladin Energy's Michelin Uranium
Project (127.7 million lbs U
O
), the Moran Lake C Deposit (historical resource of 9.6 Mlbs U
O
and
11.8 Mlbs V
O
), and the Anna Lake Deposit (historical resource of 4.9 Mlbs U
O
). These known
resources demonstrate the Belt's exceptional uranium endowment - but vast areas remain
underexplored, with modern techniques only recently being applied across the region.
With its stable jurisdiction, historical high-grade discoveries, and modern exploration momentum, the
CMB is emerging as one of North America's most exciting uranium exploration corridors.
