About Baselode Energy Corp.
Baselode controls 100 per cent of approximately 264,172 hectares for exploration in the Athabasca basin area in Northern Saskatchewan, Canada. The land package is free of any option agreements or underlying royalties.
The company discovered the Ackio near-surface, high-grade uranium deposit in September, 2021. Ackio measures greater than 375 metres along strike and greater than 150 metres wide, comprising at least 11 separate zones, with mineralization starting as shallow as 28 metres beneath the surface and down to approximately 300 metres depth beneath the surface, with the bulk of mineralization occurring in the upper 120 metres. Ackio remains open to the west and south, and along the Athabasca sandstone unconformity to the east and south.
Baselode's Athabasca 2.0 exploration thesis focuses on discovering near-surface, basement-hosted, high-grade uranium orebodies outside the Athabasca basin. The exploration thesis is further complemented by the company's preferred use of innovative and well-understood geophysical methods to map deep structural controls to identify shallow targets for diamond drilling.
