/CNW/ - Baselode Energy Corp. (TSXV: FIND) (OTCQB: BSENF) ("

Baselode

" or the "

Company

") is pleased to

provide an interim update regarding elevated radioactivity intersected near-surface in drill hole AK22-038 as part of the Company's on-going

20,000 m

drill program (the "

Program

") on the ACKIO high-grade uranium discovery ("

ACKIO

"), Hook project ("

Hook

"),

Athabasca

Basin area

(the "

Basin

"), northern

Saskatchewan

"This intersection is a game-changer for ACKIO as it opens up the prospect for open-pit mining. It also confirms our belief that mineralization

occurs near-surface at ACKIO, and opens a new area for exploration to the west. This shallow intersection validates the possibility for

unconformity style of mineralization and indicates that near-surface mineralization can occur throughout ACKIO. Other notable near-surface

mineralization intersections include the Key Lake,

Cluff Lake

Rabbit Lake

, Collins Bay and

Uranium City

deposits, all of which have been mined

with open-pit methodologies," said

James Sykes

, CEO, President and Director of Baselode.

Overburden was cased from surface (

0.00 m

) down to

35.85 m

where radioactive basement rocks were immediately encountered (

see Figure 2 for image of AK22-038 drill core

). A significant zone of radioactivity continued for

6.25 m

beyond the overburden contact.

Three other minor zones of elevated radioactivity were also encountered down to

75.1 m

depth. The drill hole has been drilled down to

168 m

drill hole depth and is on-going. Hole AK22-038 was drilled with a -85 inclination so the depths of the intervals are near true vertical depths

from surface. See

Figure 1

and

Table 1

for more details.

Baselode will provide an update for the remainder of this drill hole, and drill holes AK22-034 to AK22-037, next week. The Company will include

this drill hole in a video presentation to provide more details and interpretations regarding the results and details from the past two news

releases. The video is expected within the next two weeks.

The Program is helicopter-supported to lessen any ground-induced environmental impacts within the project area, and will allow the Company

to continue the Program during Spring thaw.

ACKIO is located 30 km southeast of well-established infrastructure including an all-season road and powerline between Cameco Corp.'s

(TSX: CCO) and Orano's

McArthur River

mine and Key Lake Uranium mill joint ventures. ACKIO is 70 km northeast of the Key Lake mill.

NOTES:

cps* = "counts-per-second", as measured with a handheld RS-125 Gamma-Ray Spectrometer/Scintillometer. The reader is cautioned that Baselode uses scintillometer readings as a preliminary indication for the presence of radioactive materials (uranium,

thorium and/or potassium), and that scintillometer results may not be used directly to quantify or qualify uranium concentrations of the rock samples measured.

The Company considers all RS-125 readings greater than 300 cps to be considered elevated radioactivity, with background radioactivity measuring between 50 to 125 cps.

"Continuous elevated radioactivity" means drill core length with no greater than 2.0 m of consecutive drill hole length measuring less than 300 cps.

All reported drill hole depths and lengths do not represent true thicknesses which have yet to be determined.

About Baselode Energy Corp.

Baselode controls 100% of approximately 227,000 hectares for exploration in the

Athabasca

Basin area, northern

Saskatchewan, Canada

The land package is free of any option agreements or underlying royalties.

Baselode's

Athabasca

2.0 exploration thesis is focused on discovering near-surface, basement-hosted, high-grade uranium orebodies outside

of 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.
