About Baselode Energy Corp.
Baselode controls 100% of approximately 264,172 hectares for exploration in the Athabasca Basin
area, northern Saskatchewan, Canada. The land package is free of any option agreements or underlying
royalties.
The Company discovered the ACKIO near-surface, high-grade uranium deposit in September 2021.
ACKIO measures greater than 375 m along strike, greater than 150 m wide, comprised of at least 11
separate zones, with mineralization starting as shallow as 28 m beneath the surface and down to
approximately 300 m depth beneath the surface with the bulk of mineralization occurring in the upper 120
m. ACKIO remains open to the west, north, south, and along the Athabasca sandstone unconformity to
the east and south.
Baselode's Athabasca 2.0 exploration thesis focuses on discovering near-surface, basement-hosted,
high-grade uranium orebodies outside the Athabasca Basin. The exploration thesis is further
complemented by the Company's preferred use of innovative and well-understood geophysical methods
to map deep structural controls to identify shallow targets for diamond drilling.
