Assays from 20 remaining drill holes on 2023's program, including those with the highest
radioactivity results, are pending
Uranium mineralization, alteration, and structure all remain open at depth with no signs of
fading
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 30, 2023) - Baselode Energy Corp. (TSXV: FIND) (OTCQB:
BSENF) ("
Baselode
" or the "
Company
") is pleased to announce additional uranium ("
U

") assays
from 5 drill holes of the 7,512 metre diamond drilling program (the "
Program
") completed within the
ACKIO uranium prospect ("
ACKIO
") on the Hook project ("
Hook
" or the "
Project
"). Assays from the
remaining 20 drill holes cover shallow mineralization in Pods 1 and 7, and exploration drillholes outside
of the known ACKIO footprint.
"Uranium mineralization, alteration, and structure all remain open at depth with no signs of fading. Our
previous news release (
September 20, 2023
, AK23-88: 0.32% U
3
O
8
over 16.5 m at 184.0 m)
highlighted new mineralization in Pod 4 discovered at depth that remains open, providing a high-priority
drill target to follow up in 2024. Encouragingly, the results from AK23-92 suggest Pods 4 and 7 occur on
the same east-dipping structure, extending from the overburden contact approximately 30 m beneath the
surface and remaining open below 200 m. We are currently assessing if there is sufficient continuity of
mineralization to link the two pods. Baselode is fully funded for an aggressive 2024 exploration program
following the completion of our recent $10.7 M financing," said James Sykes, CEO, President and
Director of Baselode.
ACKIO Drill Program Details
36 drill holes for 7,512 metres ("
m
") were completed during the Program. ACKIO consisted of 30 drill
holes for 6,193 m, Mirror consisted of 5 drill holes for 1,145 m, and 1 drill hole for 174 m was completed
on a regional exploration target.
Drill holes AK23-92 and AK23-94 confirmed mineralization is open at the edges of Pods 4 and 5.
Mineralization was intersected between 150 m and 190 m true vertical depth, growing some of the
deeper mineralized Pods at ACKIO. Highlight results from AK23-92 indicate multiple uranium
intersections from Pod 4 could connect with Pod 7, creating a continuous zone of mineralization that
would extend from the overburden contact at approximately 40 m beneath the surface down 200 m
beneath the surface and still open at depth.
Drill holes AK23-100 and AK23-101 were drilled within the edge and centre of Pod 2, respectively.
Mineralization was intersected between 100 m and 140 m true vertical depth. Mineralization in AK23-
100 confirmed the northern edge of Pod 2 is still open, and AK23-101 confirmed previously modelled
mineralization within the centre of Pod 2 for the purpose of future resource estimation.

assay results from drill holes AK23-92 to AK23-94 and AK23-100 to AK23-101
were provided by Saskatchewan Research Council's Geoanalytical Laboratory ("
SRC
") in Saskatoon,
Saskatchewan. The assay methodology includes SRCs "U

O
8
Wt% Assay" analysis package where an
aliquot of sample pulp is digested in a concentration of HCL:HNO
3
. The digested volume is then made
up with deionized water for analysis by ICP-OES. Uranium assay results from the remaining twenty drill
holes will be released after being compiled,
thoroughly quality checked, and interpreted by the technical
team.
ACKIO is 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. The Program was helicopter-supported to
lessen any ground-induced environmental impacts within the project area.

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, uranium prospect in September 2021. ACKIO
measures greater than 375 m along strike, greater than 150 m wide, comprised of at least 9 separate
uranium Pods, with mineralization starting as shallow as 28 m and 32 m beneath the surface in Pods 1
and 7, respectively, and down to approximately 300 m depth beneath the surface with the bulk of
mineralization occurring in the upper 120 m. ACKIO remains open at depth, and to the north, south and
east.
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.
