Atomic Minerals (TSXV: ATOM) has submitted an exploration permit application to the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment for its 100% owned Bleasdell Lake Project in northern Saskatchewan, Canada. The company is seeking a multi-year permit to conduct ground-based geophysics and up to 4000m of diamond drilling on three newly identified uranium target zones, in addition to the historically drilled Horn and Jackpine zones.

The proposed work will commence immediately following permit approval, including geophysical surveys and diamond drilling across both new and historical target areas. The Bleasdell Lake property hosts a 1957 historic resource of 620,700 pounds of U3O8, identified within the Horn and Jackpine zones. However, this historical estimate is not considered a current mineral resource, and significant twinning of historic drill holes will be necessary to upgrade or verify it.

Atomic Minerals (TSXV: ATOM) ha inviato una richiesta di permesso di esplorazione al Ministero dell'Ambiente del Saskatchewan per il suo progetto Bleasdell Lake di proprietà al 100% nel nord del Saskatchewan, Canada. L'azienda sta cercando un permesso pluriennale per condurre geofisica a terra e fino a 4000 metri di perforazione a diamante su tre nuove zone obiettivo di uranio, oltre alle storiche zone Horn e Jackpine.

Il lavoro proposto inizierà immediatamente dopo l'approvazione del permesso, comprese le indagini geofisiche e la perforazione a diamante in entrambe le aree obiettivo nuove e storiche. La proprietà di Bleasdell Lake ospita una risorsa storica del 1957 di 620.700 libbre di U3O8, identificata all'interno delle zone Horn e Jackpine. Tuttavia, questa stima storica non è considerata una risorsa mineraria attuale, e un significativo incrocio dei fori di perforazione storici sarà necessario per migliorarla o verificarla.

La empresa busca un permiso por varios años para llevar a cabo geofísica terrestre y hasta 4000 metros de perforación con diamante en tres nuevas zonas objetivo de uranio, además de las históricas zonas Horn y Jackpine.

El trabajo propuesto comenzará inmediatamente después de la aprobación del permiso, incluyendo encuestas geofísicas y perforación con diamante en las áreas objetivo nuevas y históricas. La propiedad de Bleasdell Lake alberga un recurso histórico de 620,700 libras de U3O8 de 1957, identificado dentro de las zonas Horn y Jackpine. Sin embargo, esta estimación histórica no se considera un recurso mineral actual, y será necesario un significativo recrossing de los agujeros de perforación históricos para actualizarla o verificarla.

Atomic Minerals (TSXV: ATOM) a soumis une demande de permis d'exploration au ministère de l'Environnement de Saskatchewan pour son projet Bleasdell Lake entièrement détenu dans le nord de la Saskatchewan, Canada. L'entreprise cherche un permis pluriannuel pour effectuer des études géophysiques terrestres et jusqu'à 4000 m de forage au diamant sur trois nouvelles zones cibles d'uranium, en plus des zones historiques de Horn et Jackpine.

Le travail proposé commencera immédiatement après l'approbation du permis, y compris des enquêtes géophysiques et des forages au diamant à travers des zones cibles nouvelles et historiques. La propriété de Bleasdell Lake abrite une ressource historique de 620 700 livres de U3O8 datant de 1957, identifiée dans les zones Horn et Jackpine. Cependant, cette estimation historique n'est pas considérée comme une ressource minérale actuelle, et il sera nécessaire d'effectuer un croisement significatif des trous de forage historiques pour l'améliorer ou la vérifier.

Atomic Minerals (TSXV: ATOM) hat einen Antrag auf Erteilung einer Explorationsgenehmigung beim Ministerium für Umwelt in Saskatchewan für sein 100% im Besitz befindliches Bleasdell Lake Projekt im Norden von Saskatchewan, Kanada, eingereicht. Das Unternehmen sucht eine mehrjährige Genehmigung für die Durchführung von Boden-geophysikalischen Untersuchungen und bis zu 4000 m Diamantbohrungen in drei neu identifizierten Uran-Zielzonen, zusätzlich zu den historisch gebohrten Horn- und Jackpine-Zonen.

Die geplante Arbeit wird unmittelbar nach Genehmigung des Antrags beginnen, einschließlich geophysikalischer Erhebungen und Diamantbohrungen in neuen sowie historischen Zielbereichen. Das Bleasdell Lake Grundstück umfasst eine historische Ressource von 620.700 Pfund U3O8 aus dem Jahr 1957, die innerhalb der Horn- und Jackpine-Zonen identifiziert wurde. Diese historische Schätzung wird jedoch nicht als aktuelle Mineralressource angesehen, und eine signifikante Zwillingsermittlung historischer Bohrlöcher wird erforderlich sein, um dies zu aktualisieren oder zu verifizieren.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 9, 2024) - Atomic Minerals Corporation (TSXV: ATOM) ("ATOMIC MINERALS" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has submitted an exploration permit application to the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment for its 100% owned Bleasdell Lake Project in northern Saskatchewan, Canada.

Atomic Minerals has engaged Grander Exploration Ltd. to oversee the permitting application process. The Company is seeking a multi-year permit to conduct ground-based geophysics and up to 4000m of diamond drilling on three newly identified uranium target zones in addition to the historically drilled Horn and Jackpine zones.

Clive Massey, CEO of Atomic Minerals Corporation, commented, "We are excited to advance our exploration efforts at Bleasdell Lake with this permit application. Our team, in collaboration with Grander Exploration, is committed to building on the extensive historical work at Bleasdell Lake, including exploring newly identified target zones beyond the historically defined Horn and Jackpine zones. This is a significant step forward in expanding the project's potential and solidifying our presence in one of Canada's premier uranium exploration jurisdictions."

The proposed work will commence immediately following permit approval, with the Company implementing a comprehensive program that includes geophysical surveys and diamond drilling across both new and historical target areas. The objective is to validate historical data, improve the geological understanding of the property, and identify additional zones of uranium mineralization.

The Province of Saskatchewan is an excellent jurisdiction for mineral exploration investments due to its favorable fiscal incentives. A standout feature is the Saskatchewan Mineral Exploration Tax Credit ("SMETC"), which provides a non-refundable 30% tax credit to Saskatchewan taxpayers investing in eligible flow-through shares ("FTS") issued by qualifying mining and exploration companies. This initiative significantly enhances the attractiveness of Saskatchewan as a prime destination for uranium exploration activity, as it mitigates investor risk while supporting capital inflows into the province's mining sector.

Historical Resource at Bleasdell Lake

The Bleasdell Lake property hosts a 1957 historic resource of 620,700 pounds of U3O8, identified within the Horn and Jackpine zones. This historic estimate was originally reported in a shareholder report for Columbia Metals Exploration Co. Ltd. dated November 9, 1957 (the "Shareholder Report"). The estimate, which was calculated using the standards of the time, is based on data from closely spaced shallow drill holes and more widely spaced deeper drill holes. While the historic resource is considered relevant to the potential of the Bleasdell Lake property, there is no technical report, and the calculations, methods, or parameters used were not disclosed in the Shareholder Report. Consequently, a qualified person has not completed sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as a current mineral resource.

The Company acknowledges that to upgrade or verify the historical estimate as a current mineral resource, significant twinning of the historic drill holes will be necessary. As such, Atomic is not treating the historical estimate as a current mineral resource at this time.

About the Bleasdell Lake Project

The Bleasdell Lake project is located approximately 95 kilometers southwest of Lynn Lake, Manitoba, and lies east of the renowned Athabasca Basin. Exploration at Bleasdell Lake in the late 1950s revealed two uranium-bearing pegmatite dykes on the west shore of the lake. The 400-meter Horn Zone has reported historical drill intersections, including 90 meters of 0.12% U3O8 over 2.56 meters and 0.062% U3O8 over 1.21 meters. Other drill width intersections ranged from 0.091% U3O8 over 1.86 meters to 0.2025% U3O8 over 2.99 meters. The Jackpine Zone, located approximately 450 meters along strike to the northwest, has limited historical data but is included in the planned exploration program to better understand its potential.
