F3 Hits Anomalous Radioactivity 12km South of JR Zone on Broach Property
F3 Uranium Corp (TSXV: FUU) (OTCQB: FUUFF) has announced significant findings from its winter drilling programs at the PLN and Broach Properties. At the JR Zone, drillhole PLN25-200 revealed mineralization over 20.0m, including 2.25m of high-grade radioactivity with 0.68m of off-scale readings exceeding 65,535 cps.
In a notable development, the newly identified 'PW Area' at Broach Lake, located 12km south of JR Zone, showed promise with drillhole PLN25-202 encountering six distinct zones of anomalous radioactivity, with readings between 300-720 cps across a 90m downhole interval. The area, previously underexplored due to thick conductive Cretaceous mudstone layers, was successfully surveyed using MLTDEM ground survey technology.
The company plans to conduct follow-up drilling in the PW Area with an adjusted approach, stepping back approximately 100 meters to better intersect the refined target within a distinct circular gravity anomaly, before returning focus to the JR Zone.
F3 Uranium Corp (TSXV: FUU) (OTCQB: FUUFF) ha annunciato risultati significativi dai suoi programmi di perforazione invernale presso le proprietà PLN e Broach. Nella Zona JR, il foro di perforazione PLN25-200 ha rivelato mineralizzazione su oltre 20,0 m, inclusi 2,25 m di radioattività ad alta intensità con letture off-scale superiori a 65.535 cps.
In uno sviluppo notevole, la nuova area identificata 'PW Area' al lago Broach, situata a 12 km a sud della Zona JR, ha mostrato potenzialità con il foro di perforazione PLN25-202 che ha incontrato sei zone distinte di radioattività anomala, con letture comprese tra 300 e 720 cps su un intervallo di 90 m in profondità. L'area, precedentemente poco esplorata a causa di spesse strati di argilla conduttiva del Cretaceo, è stata successivamente indagata utilizzando la tecnologia di sondaggio a terra MLTDEM.
La società prevede di effettuare perforazioni di follow-up nell'Area PW con un approccio modificato, arretrando di circa 100 metri per meglio intersecare il bersaglio raffinato all'interno di un'anomalia gravitazionale circolare distinta, prima di tornare a concentrarsi sulla Zona JR.

Sam Hartmann, Vice President Exploration, commented:
"The 'PW' area, situated on the Broach Property approximately 12 kilometers south of the JR Zone, lies just within the Athabasca Basin and represents a region with minimal historical exploration and drilling activity. No previously defined conductors had been identified in this area, largely due to the presence of a thick layer of conductive Cretaceous mudstone from the Manville Group, which locally reaches thicknesses of nearly 100 meters. Recognizing the potential of this challenging but underexplored region, we conducted a specifically designed MLTDEM ground survey (see NR February 11) which has just been completed by Abitibi Geophysics. This approach successfully delineated a number of basement-hosted conductors on the survey lines interpreted so far with lines L3200N to L4400N still outstanding (see Map 2), overcoming the interference posed by the conductive mudstones. Drillhole PLN25-202 was collared based on an initial interpretation and conductor model on L1600N, and intersected strongly altered basement lithologies, encountering six distinct radioactive intercepts across a 90-meter downhole interval. Data from this drillhole was subsequently re-integrated back into the electromagnetic (EM) model - which resulted in a lateral shift of the conductor model by approximately 100 meters. This adjustment suggests that PLN25-202 overshot the intended target yet - still encountered significant alteration and structures along with radioactivity. A follow-up drillhole is scheduled and planned to step back by approximately 100 meters to better intersect the refined target, which lies in a distinct circular gravity anomaly. While the PW Area is still in its early stages of exploration, we are highly encouraged by these strong initial results, and intend to conduct further drilling in the area before shifting focus back to the JR Zone toward the conclusion of the winter season."

The natural gamma radiation detected in the drill core, as detailed in this news release, was measured in counts per second (cps) using a handheld Radiation Solutions RS-125 spectrometer. The Company designates readings exceeding 300 cps on the handheld spectrometer (occasionally referred to as a scintillometer in industry parlance; this colloquial usage stems from historical naming conventions and the shared functionality of detecting gamma radiation with a scintillometer)—as "anomalous", readings above 10,000 cps as "high-grade", and readings surpassing 65,535 cps as "off-scale". However, readers are cautioned that spectrometer or scintillometer measurements often do not directly or consistently correlate with the uranium grades of the rock samples and should be regarded solely as a preliminary indicator of the presence of radioactive materials.
Samples from the drill core are split into half sections on site. Where possible, samples are standardized at 0.5m down-hole intervals. One-half of the split sample is sent to SRC Geoanalytical Laboratories (an SCC ISO/IEC 17025: 2005 Accredited Facility) in Saskatoon, SK while the other half remains on site for reference. Analysis includes a 63 element suite including boron by ICP-OES, uranium by ICP-MS and gold analysis by ICP-OES and/or AAS.
The Company considers uranium mineralization with assay results of greater than 1.0 weight % U3O8 as "high grade" and results greater than 20.0 weight % U3O8 as "ultra-high grade".
All depth measurements reported are down-hole and true thicknesses are yet to be determined.
