ALX Uranium Corp. Announces Resumption of Drilling Program at the Hook-Carter Uranium Project, Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan
24 5월 2018 - 8:57PM
ALX Uranium Corp. (“ALX” or the “Company)
(TSXV:AL) (FSE:6LLN) (OTC:ALXEF) is pleased to announce that a
diamond drilling program has resumed at the Hook-Carter Uranium
Project (“Hook-Carter”, or the “Project”) located in the
southwestern Athabasca Basin of Saskatchewan, Canada. Exploration
at Hook-Carter is operated by Denison Mines Corp. (“Denison”)
(TSX:DML) (NYSE MKT:DNN) and is owned 80% by Denison and 20% by
ALX.
Summer 2018 Drilling
Program
Drilling has commenced, following on from the
Company’s maiden winter 2018 drilling program which encountered
hydrothermal alteration in both the sandstone and the basement
lithologies associated with graphitic basement structures -
indicative of the continuation of the mineralizing system within
the prolific Patterson Lake Corridor. The 2018 summer program is
planned to include 3,500 metres of diamond drilling in five to six
holes using two drill rigs to test high-priority geophysical
targets developed by Denison in 2017.

About Hook-Carter
Hook-Carter consists of 45 claims covering
20,522 hectares and is located approximately 575 kilometres (357
miles) north of La Ronge, SK. The Project is located along the
prolific Patterson Lake Corridor – host to the Triple R uranium
deposit (Fission Uranium Corp.), the Arrow uranium deposit,
Harpoon, Bow and South Arrow uranium discoveries (NexGen Energy
Ltd.), and the Spitfire, Hornet and Dragon uranium discoveries (a
joint venture of Purepoint Uranium Group Inc., Cameco Corp., and
Orano Canada Inc.). Denison has agreed to fund the first $12.0
million of expenditures at Hook-Carter (see ALX news releases dated
October 13, 2016 and November 7, 2016).
Four holes were completed during the inaugural
winter 2018 drilling program, which encountered hydrothermal
alteration in both the sandstone and the basement lithologies
associated with graphitic basement structures. These features are
consistent with unconformity-related uranium mineralizing systems
in the Athabasca Basin and provide indication of the continuation
of the mineralizing system within the Patterson Lake Corridor onto
Hook-Carter. Elevated radioactivity was noted in two holes ranging
up to 184 counts per second measured on a Mount Sopris 2GHF-1000 -
Triple Gamma downhole probe.
ALX believes Hook-Carter is significantly
underexplored, with only five historical drill holes located along
the 15 kilometres of interpreted strike length of the Patterson
Lake Corridor that lies within the Project.
