Basin Uranium stakes Wolf Canyon uranium project

2024-02-07 13:32 ET - News Release

Mr. Mike Blady reports

BASIN URANIUM STAKES NEW URANIUM PROJECT

Basin Uranium Corp. has acquired the Wolf Canyon uranium project, located in Fall River county, South Dakota, United States. The project, which was acquired through direct staking by the company, comprises 80 unpatented mineral lode claims totalling 1,600 acres located two miles east of U.S. Highway 18 and approximately eight miles east of the company's flagship Chord project.

"The staking of Wolf Canyon represents our continued expansion into the USA, focused on acquiring strategic assets located in prolific mining districts with extensive historical exploration," commented Mike Blady, chief executive officer of Basin Uranium. "The recent tabling of House Bill 1071 efforts are under way to allow the governor to agree with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to bring uranium mining and nuclear energy back to the Rushmore State (South Dakota), which has nearly 300 historic mines and prospects in the western portion of the state alone."

Wolf Canyon project, South Dakota

The Wolf Canyon uranium project comprises 1,600 acres of contiguous claims (80 unpatented mineral lode claims) located 10 miles east of Edgemont, S.D. Access to the property is facilitated through U.S. Highway 18, located two miles to the west, with year-round gravel and ATV (all-terrain vehicle) roads servicing the claims. The Wolf Canyon project lies within the northeast-trending Long Mountain structural zone with uranium mineralization hosted in the Inyan Kara sedimentary group. The uranium deposits of southwest South Dakota are roll-front style typically found in paleo-fluvial channels similar to those found in Wyoming and other productive districts. Exploration on Wolf Canyon dates back to the 1970s, with several large companies having drilled numerous wells on the property. Specifically, resource drilling by Union Carbide Corp. in the 1970s reported uranium mineralization significant enough to commission an internal resource; however, additional verification and validation must be performed by the company's qualified person before being disclosed publicly.
