Baselode Reports High Levels of Radioactivity Over Wide

-

Baselode Energy Corp. (TSXV: FIND) (OTCQB: BSENF)

("

Baselode

" or the "

Company

") is pleased to announce radioactivity results from the first three diamond drill

holes within the ACKIO ("

ACKIO

") uranium prospect of the Hook project ("

Hook

") in the Athabasca Basin area of

northern Saskatchewan (

).

"AK24

119's results rank as one of the top 10 best drill hole radioactivity intersections at ACKIO, making this a

unique drill hole. Previous drill hole AK22

over 7.3 m (

see Baselode News Release

dated September 12, 2022

) in Pod 6, and we are seeing similar levels of radioactivity within AK24

-

118 and AK24

-

119 but over broader widths within the same Pod, suggesting mineralization remains open in this area. ACKIO has

continued to deliver encouraging results since the discov

ery in 2021, and we expect more promising results to

follow.

We are equally excited to start the regional exploration phase of our drill program across the Hook project. Our

technical team has done an incredible job of prioritizing prospective target areas along a 25 km

-

long uranium

fertile structural corridor that

hosts ACKIO and other uranium showings. We eagerly anticipate results from our

exploration efforts in hopes of a new uranium discovery," commented James Sykes, CEO, President, and Director

of Baselode.

Drill Hole Details

Drill holes AK24

-

117 to AK24

-

119 were collared to define the extent of mineralization in Pod 6 of ACKIO. See

Figure

2

for drill hole locations and

Table 1

for drill collar details and scintillometer results.

AK24

-

117 intersected three lenses of continuous radioactivity with greater than 6 m drill hole widths between

117.25 and 151.6 m, ranking this drill hole as the second thickest sequence of radioactivity in Pod 6 area after

AK24

-

119.

AK24

-

118 intersected an average radioactivity result (1,115 cps*) similar to that of AK22

-

035's uranium

intersection mentioned above but with almost twice the width (13.3 m).

AK24

-

119 intersected continuous radioactivity with 907 cps over 34 m, including a zone of higher radioactivity

measuring 2,328 cps over 6.6 m from 142.35 m making this the broadest intersection with the highest average

radioactivity in Pod 6.

ACKIO Program Details

Up to 12,000 metres of drilling is planned at ACKIO, subject to drill results, targeting

i.

the southeast zone, where geophysical survey results suggest the alteration and structural system trend

east/southeast

-

west/northwest,

ii.

unconformity

-

style mineralization along the Athabasca sandstone structural contact to the southeast,

and;

iii.

the depth of mineralized structures based on geochemical trends and alteration pathways.

The first diamond drill has completed initial definition drilling at ACKIO and has now moved onto targeting the

depth potential of the mineralized structures.

Hook Program Details

A second drill has been mobilized to Hook and will be drilling shortly. The regional Hook exploration drill program is

planned for up to 4,000 metres with 15 to 20 drill holes targeting 5 to 7 different areas. The target areas were

generated from combinati

ons of multiple geophysical data sets including recent results from ground gravity and

ANT geophysical surveys. Once the drill has completed Hook exploration drilling, it will join the ACKIO program to

complete drilling there.

NOTES:

1.

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.

2.

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.

3.

"Continuous elevated radioactivity" means drill core length with no greater than 2.0 m of consecutive drill

hole length measuring less than 300 cps.

4.

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 272,804 hectares for exploration in the Athabasca Basin area of

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 3

2 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.
