/CNW/ - Baselode Energy Corp. (TSXV: FIND) (OTCQB: BSENF)
("
Baselode
" or the "
Company
") is pleased to report the final Uranium assay results from the
recently completed diamond drill program on the ACKIO Uranium discovery ("
ACKIO
"), Hook project
("
Hook
"),
Athabasca
Basin area, northern
Saskatchewan
.
Highlights include:
A second drill hole confirms high-grade* Uranium at ACKIO; 0.67 wt% U

in AK21-04
Multiple Uranium intersections occurring within
200 m
of the surface
"We are very encouraged by intersecting near-surface, high-grade Uranium mineralization in two drill
holes from our first drill program at the ACKIO discovery. The Uranium results from drill holes
AK21-01, AK21-03 and AK21-04 demonstrate that ACKIO is part of a robust and fertile Uranium
system, with multiple Uranium occurrences intersected throughout the drill hole lengths. Our main
Uranium intersections from drill holes AK21-01 through AK21-04 occur between 90 and
125 m
below
surface and cover a lateral distance measuring approximately
45 m
. Our follow-up drill program is
only weeks away and we're excited to see what we'll be able to uncover," said
James Sykes
, CEO,
President and Director of Baselode.
The Company has prepared a quick video presentation for shareholders and the public to learn more
about these Uranium results (see link below). Additional video presentations will be released in the
coming days and weeks to provide details regarding the interpretation of massive alteration halo, the
structures observed at ACKIO, and other topics of interest relating to ACKIO and Hook. Complete
Ackio drill results are published in Table 1, along with a cross-section in
Figure 1
below.
