Blue Sky Uranium Launches Drill Program to Expand and Upgrade the Ivana Deposit at the Amarillo Grande Uranium - Vanadium Project, Argentina
Blue Sky Uranium Corp. (OTCQB: BKUCF) is launching a 3,500 metre reverse circulation drilling program to enhance the Ivana Deposit at its Amarillo Grande Uranium-Vanadium Project in Argentina. This initiative follows a 4,500 metre regional exploration campaign currently underway. The new drilling will focus on expanding the deposit's boundaries and improving resource estimates. Past sampling indicated promising results, with uranium and vanadium concentrations suggesting significant mineralization potential.
- Launch of a 3,500 metre drilling program for Ivana Deposit expansion.
- The company aims to upgrade current mineral resources and explore new deposits.
- Previous sampling returned high levels of uranium and vanadium, indicating strong mineralization potential.
- None.

VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ - Blue Sky Uranium Corp. (TSXV: BSK) (FSE: MAL2) (OTC: BKUCF), "Blue Sky" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company is launching a 3,500 metre reverse circulation ("RC") exploration drilling program to expand and upgrade the Ivana Deposit within its wholly-owned Amarillo Grande Uranium-Vanadium Project ("AGP") in Rio Negro Province, Argentina.
The previously announced 4,500 metre regional exploration drilling campaign remains in progress (see February 1, 2021 News Release). Complete final results from initial exploratory drilling at Ivana North are expected to be received and interpreted shortly, and the second portion of the planned program focused at Ivana Central will resume once updated permits are received.
"Our goal to advance the Amarillo Grande Project into a multi-deposit uranium district requires a two-pronged approach to both identify new deposits through exploration along the 145-kilometre-long project trend and advance our cornerstone Ivana deposit. We believe that this additional drilling at Ivana has potential to expand and upgrade the current mineral resources" stated Nikolaos Cacos, Blue Sky President & CEO.
The planned Ivana drilling program will include an estimated 260 shallow holes (see Figure 1). Drilling will test the potential expansion of the Ivana deposit to the west where the 2018 pit channel sampling program returned encouraging results, including up to 5,032 ppm U3O8 & 323 ppm V2O5 over 1.7m at AGI-CAL26 (see Press Releases dated November 15, 2018 and April 29, 2019). Pit sampling only tested to depths of less than three metres, so the near-surface mineralization in this area remains open at depth. In addition, the new drill program includes holes in areas of lower drill hole density at the margins of, and within, the Ivana deposit to aid in upgrades to the mineral resource estimate that will support advanced engineering studies.
Qualified Persons
The design of the Company's exploration program was undertaken by the Company's geological staff under the supervision of David Terry, Ph.D., P.Geo. Dr. Terry is a Director of the Company and a Qualified Person as defined in National Instrument 43-101. The contents of this news release have been reviewed and approved by Dr. Terry.
