VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 03, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AZINCOURT ENERGY CORP. ("Azincourt" or the "Company") (TSX.V: AAZ, OTCQB: AZURF), is pleased to announce that permits have been received for ongoing exploration activities at the East Preston uranium project in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, Canada. The Company has received work authorization and permits from the Government of Saskatchewan to allow diamond drilling and limited ground geophysics through to the summer of 2026. This effectively provides access to the ground for the next three winter field seasons.
溫哥華，不列顛哥倫比亞省，2023年10月3日(環球通訊社)阿辛考特能源公司。(“AzinCourt”或“公司”)(TSX.V：AAZ，OTCQB：AZURF)加拿大很高興地宣佈，加拿大薩斯喀徹溫省阿薩巴斯卡盆地的East Preston鈾專案正在進行的勘探活動已獲得許可。該公司已獲得薩斯喀徹溫省政府的工作授權和許可，允許鑽石鑽探和有限的地面地球物理活動一直持續到2026年夏天。這有效地為接下來的三個冬季田野季節提供了進入地面的途徑。
Azincourt Energy recognizes that the granting of these permits does not negate the rights of the local communities for meaningful consultation as the project progresses. The company continues to be engaged in regular meetings with the Clearwater River Dene Nation and other rights holders to ensure that the concerns of the local communities are addressed regarding the East Preston project. A more in-depth engagement process will also be commencing within the next month with the La Loche Metis Local #39. The company endeavors to keep local stakeholders apprised of ongoing plans, results, and priorities for the property. The involvement of the local communities is essential for continued advancement of the East Preston Project.
AzinCourt Energy認識到，發放這些許可證並不否定當地社區在專案進展過程中進行有意義的協商的權利。該公司繼續定期與Clearwater River Dene Nation和其他權利持有人舉行會議，以確保解決當地社區對East Preston專案的關切。更深入的接觸進程也將在下個月內與La Loche Metis Local#39開始。該公司努力讓當地利益相關者瞭解該物業正在進行的計劃、結果和優先事項。地方社區的參與對於繼續推進東普雷斯頓專案至關重要。
Azincourt looks forward to a continued close working relationship with CRDN and other rights holders to ensure that any potential impacts and concerns are addressed and that the communities can benefit from activities in the area through support of local business, employment opportunities, and sponsorship of select community programs and initiatives. Local businesses are engaged to provide services and supplies and members of the Clearwater River Dene Nation and surrounding communities have been directly employed on site or to provide support and services to keep the camp and programs running.
AzinCourt期待著與CRDN和其他權利持有者繼續保持密切的工作關係，以確保解決任何潛在的影響和關切，並通過支持當地商業、就業機會和贊助選定的社區專案和倡議，使社區能夠從該地區的活動中受益。當地企業受僱提供服務和用品，Clearwater River Dene Nation和周圍社區的成員直接受僱於現場或提供支持和服務，以維持營地和方案的運行。
"We are very excited to continue working at the East Preston project, and the granting of work permits for three years clears a critical component from the ongoing planning process," said VP, Exploration, Trevor Perkins. "This shows faith by the government and local communities for us to continue our work in the area in a safe and environmentally friendly manner, and to continue engaging with local communities. We want to ensure that any concerns raised are dealt with to the satisfaction of all parties and that relevant information is shared to minimize impact on members of the local communities who use this land," continued Mr. Perkins.
特雷弗·珀金斯公司負責勘探的副總裁特雷弗·珀金斯說：“我們非常高興能繼續在東普雷斯頓專案工作，三年工作許可的發放將清除正在進行的規劃過程中的一個關鍵部分。”“這表明政府和當地社區對我們繼續以安全和環保的方式在該地區開展工作的信心，並繼續與當地社區接觸。我們希望確保提出的任何關切都得到各方滿意的處理，並分享相關資訊，以儘量減少對使用這塊土地的當地社區成員的影響，”珀金斯繼續說。
Winter 2024 Program
2024年冬季計劃
Planning is underway for a winter 2024 drill program focusing on the alteration zone associated with the K- and H-Zones. The exact size, scope, and budget of this program is still to be determined and will be communicated as decisions are finalized and confirmed.
2024年冬季演習計劃正在規劃中，重點是與K區和H區相關的蝕變帶。該計劃的確切規模、範圍和預算仍有待確定，並將在最終確定和確認決定後進行溝通。
East Preston Targets
東普雷斯頓目標
The primary target area on the East Preston Project is the conductive corridors from the A-Zone through to the G-Zone (A-G Trend) and the K-Zone through to the H and Q-Zones (K-H-Q Trend) (Figure 2). The selection of these trends is based on a compilation of results from the 2018 through 2020 ground-based EM and gravity surveys, property wide VTEM and magnetic surveys, and the 2019 through 2022 drill programs, the 2020 HLEM survey indicates multiple prospective conductors and structural complexity along these corridors.
East Preston專案的主要目標區域是從A區到G區的導電走廊(A-G趨勢)和從K區到H區和Q區的導電走廊(K-H-Q趨勢)(圖2)。這些趨勢的選擇是基於2018年至2020年地面電磁和重力調查、全物業VTEM和磁力調查以及2019年至2022年鑽探計劃的結果匯編，2020年HLEM調查顯示這些走廊沿線有多個潛在導體和結構複雜性。
Drilling has confirmed that identified geophysical conductors comprise structurally disrupted zones that are host to accumulations of graphite, sulphides, and carbonates. Hydrothermal alteration, relevant clays*, anomalous radioactivity, and elevated uranium have now been demonstrated to exist within these structurally disrupted conductor zones.
鑽探證實，已識別的地球物理導體包括構造破碎帶，這些帶是石墨、硫化物和碳酸鹽堆積的宿主。熱液蝕變、相關黏土、異常放射性和高鈾現在已被證明存在於這些構造破碎的導體帶內。
* Illite and kaolinite are both indicators of hydrothermal alteration typically found within alteration halos of unconformity uranium deposits. Dravite is a boron-rich clay which is typically found within a larger clay package in close proximity to uranium mineralization in the system. Both illite and dravite have been identified as being significant vectors for the recent Patterson Lake North discovery by F3 Uranium approximately 60 km to the northwest of the East Preston project.
*伊利石和高嶺石都是熱液蝕變的指示物，通常在不整合鈾礦床的蝕變暈中發現。德拉維特是一種富含硼的黏土，通常存在於系統中靠近鈾礦化的較大黏土包中。在東普雷斯頓專案西北約60公里處，F3鈾礦發現了北帕特森湖，伊利石和德維石都被確認為最近發現的重要載體。

About East Preston
關於東普雷斯頓
Azincourt controls a majority 85% interest in the 25,000+ hectare East Preston project as part of a joint venture agreement with Skyharbour Resources (TSX.V: SYH), and Dixie Gold. Three prospective conductive, low magnetic signature corridors have been discovered on the property. The three distinct corridors have a total strike length of over 25 km, each with multiple EM conductor trends identified. Ground prospecting and sampling work completed to date has identified outcrop, soil, biogeochemical and radon anomalies, which are key pathfinder elements for unconformity uranium deposit discovery.
作為與天港資源公司(多倫多證券交易所股票代碼：SYH)和Dixie Gold的合資協定的一部分，AzinCourt控制著25,000公頃East Preston專案85%的多數股權。在這處房產上已經發現了三條預期的導電性、低磁性特徵走廊。這三條不同的走廊總走向長度超過25公里，每條走廊都確定了多個電磁導體趨勢。迄今已完成的地面勘探和採樣工作已查明露頭、土壤、生物地球化學和氡異常，它們是發現不整合鈾礦床的關鍵勘查元素。
The East Preston Project has multiple long linear conductors with flexural changes in orientation and offset breaks in the vicinity of interpreted fault lineaments – classic targets for basement-hosted unconformity uranium deposits. These are not just simple basement conductors; they are clearly upgraded/enhanced prospectively targets because of the structural complexity.
東普雷斯頓專案有多個長線性導體，它們在解釋的斷層構造附近具有彎曲的方向變化和偏移斷裂，這些斷裂構造是基底賦存的不整合鈾礦床的經典目標。這些不只是簡單的地下室導體；由於結構的複雜性，它們顯然是升級/增強的預期目標。
The targets are basement-hosted unconformity related uranium deposits similar to NexGen's Arrow deposit and Cameco's Eagle Point mine. East Preston is near the southern edge of the western Athabasca Basin, where targets are in a near surface environment without Athabasca sandstone cover – therefore they are relatively shallow targets but can have great depth extent when discovered. The project ground is located along a parallel conductive trend between the PLS-Arrow trend and Cameco's Centennial deposit (Virgin River-Dufferin Lake trend).
這些目標是與NexGen的Arrow礦床和Cameco的Eagle Point礦類似的基底不整合相關鈾礦。東普雷斯頓靠近西部阿薩巴斯卡盆地的南緣，那裡的目標處於沒有阿薩巴斯卡砂岩覆蓋的近地表環境中--因此它們是相對較淺的目標，但在被髮現時可以有很大的深度。該專案的場地位於一條平行的導電走向上，這條走向介於LS-Arrow走向和Cameco的百年礦藏之間(維爾京河-達弗林湖走向)。
