Traction Uranium Identifies New Surface Radioactive Anomalies in Radioactive Black Soil and Radioactive Swamp at Key Lake South (KLS) Uranium Project Completing Phase 1 of the Fall Field Program and Commences Phase 2

Rhea-AI Summary

Traction Uranium Corp. (CSE: TRAC) (OTC: TRCTF) has successfully completed Phase 1 of its fall ground program at the Key Lake South (KLS) uranium project in Northern Saskatchewan, discovering two new radioactive anomalies: a black soil anomaly and a swamp anomaly. This program involved detailed boulder prospecting and mapping by researchers from the University of Saskatchewan. MWH Geo-Surveys is set to begin Phase 2, which includes a Ground Gravity Survey over 4.15 square kilometers to define drill targets for the upcoming winter 2023 diamond drill program.

Positive

• Discovery of two new radioactive anomalies at KLS during Phase 1.
• Ground Gravity Survey in Phase 2 aims to refine drill targets for future exploration.

Negative

• None.

CALGARY, Alberta, Sept. 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Traction Uranium Corp. (CSE: TRAC) (OTC: TRCTF) (FRA: Z1K) (the “Company” or “Traction”) and Ugreenco Energy Corp. have completed Phase 1 of the fall kick-off ground program at their Key Lake South (KLS) uranium project in Canada’s Northern Saskatchewan world renowned Athabasca Basin and is pleased to announce the team encountering two new, previously unknown radioactive anomalies at KLS.

Phase 1 involved boulder prospecting, mapping and sampling conducted by Traction Uranium’s research geologists from the University of Saskatchewan’s Quartz Degradation Program under Dr. Yuanming Pan. Two exciting new surface radioactive anomalies had been identified during the program, a radioactive black soil anomaly and a radioactive swamp found within the KLS property (Figure 1). A sample of radioactive black soil had been collected to do further separation and PXRD (Powder X-ray Diffraction) analysis to provide the mineral composition of this black soil by Traction’s Research Team.

The distribution of the new radioactive anomalies coincides with the underlying structures interpreted from geophysical surveys, which supports the thesis that these anomalies are in-situ controlled by structures rather than erratically transported by glaciers.

MWH Geo-Surveys has started mobilization to the KLS Field and is expected to start the survey towards the end of this week initiating Phase 2 of the fall program. The Ground Gravity Survey will cover an area of approximately 4.15 square kilometers with the goal of defining structures with alteration in the basement.

The results from both Phase 1 and Phase 2 Fall Field Programs at our Key Lake South Uranium Project will be used to define and generate high priority drill targets for the upcoming winter 2023 diamond drill program at KLS.

Lester Esteban, Chief Executive Officer, stated “We are buoyed with the results of our Phase 1 program at KLS, having our team find two new radioactive anomalies in our initial program is definitely exciting. The radioactive black soil is of high interest to our team and is currently undergoing extensive analysis at the UofS. I commend the tremendous effort and dedication our research geos have invested into this initial field program and we look forward to sharing the data they have collected and compiled once the results come in.”

About the Property

The Key Lake South Uranium Project is located approximately 6 kilometers to the southwest of the Key Lake uranium mill and in close vicinity to modern uranium mining facilities and highway transportation in northern Saskatchewan. Geologically, it sits at the southeastern edge of the Proterozoic Athabasca Basin – home of the world’s largest and highest grade uranium deposits and operations. Recent discovery of Triple R and Arrow deposits has demonstrated further potential of high-grade uranium at the edge of the basin.
