Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 7, 2023) - ALX Resources Corp. (TSXV: AL) (FSE: 6LLN) (OTC: ALXEF) ("ALX" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the completion of a surface prospecting program in October 2023 at its 100%-owned McKenzie Lake Uranium Project ("McKenzie Lake", or the "Project") located in the southeastern Athabasca Basin area of northern Saskatchewan, Canada.

不列顛哥倫比亞省溫哥華--(新聞文件公司-2023 年 11 月 7 日)- ALX 資源公司 (TSXV: AL)(FSE:6LLN)(場外交易所:ALXEF) (“ALX” 或 “公司”) 很高興地宣佈,位於加拿大薩斯喀徹溫省北部阿薩巴斯卡盆地東南部的麥肯齊湖鈾礦項目(“麥肯齊湖” 或 “項目”)的地表勘探計劃已於 2023 年 10 月完成。

McKenzie Lake 2023 Prospecting Program

麥肯齊湖 2023 年勘探計劃

The purpose of the 2023 prospecting and mapping program was to follow up on the results of ALX's 2021 airborne radiometric survey that had detected a highly-anomalous uranium signature that was determined to be related to uranium mineralization in a basement derived boulder ("Boulder #1") discovered in an initial site visit (2021) to McKenzie Lake (see ALX news release dated September 21, 2023).

2023年勘探和測繪計劃的目的是跟蹤ALX2021年航空輻射測量的結果,該調查發現了高度異常的鈾特徵,該特徵被確定與麥肯齊湖初次實地考察(2021年)中發現的基底衍生巨石(“Boulder #1”)中的鈾礦化有關(見ALX新聞稿) 2023年9月21日)。

Access to the Project in October 2023 was gained by helicopter and supported a three-person geological crew for prospecting. Weather conditions limited the amount of field work that could be completed; however, the crew was able to spend all or portions of 6 days prospecting in the discovery area of Boulder #1 and several other target areas identified from the 2021 airborne radiometric survey. Boulders or outcrops of interest were sampled and measured for radioactivity with a hand-held RS-125 Super-SPEC gamma-ray spectrometer (RS-125), which displays radioactivity in counts per second ("cps").

2023 年 10 月,直升機獲准進入該項目,並支持三人地質工作人員進行勘探。天氣條件限制了可以完成的實地工作量;但是,機組人員得以在6天的全部或部分時間裏在Boulder #1 發現區和2021年機載輻射測量中確定的其他幾個目標區域進行勘探。使用手持式 RS-125 Super-Spec 伽瑪射線光譜儀 (RS-125) 對感興趣的巨石或露頭進行採樣和測量放射性,該光譜儀以每秒計數(“cps”)顯示放射性。

Sample 149616, collected in 2021 from Boulder #1, is interpreted from the geochemical assay results to be derived from a calcareous arkose or possibly calc-silicate rock that forms part of the Wollaston Domain metasediments. The geochemical results from sample 149616 returned 844 parts per million ("ppm") uranium (total digestion) with a corresponding uranium assay of 0.101% U3O8. The 2023 prospecting program revisited this boulder sample and excavated the overburden cover over the boulder to gain a better understanding of the nature of this occurrence. This revealed that it was a much larger boulder than originally suspected from the 2021 prospecting program - the boulder is approximately 0.4 by 0.6 metres in top surface area and least 30 centimetres thick.

根據地球化學分析結果,2021 年從 Boulder #1 採集的樣本 149616 被解釋爲源自構成沃拉斯頓域變沉積物一部分的鈣質拱形岩石或可能的鈣質硅酸鹽岩石。149616 樣本的地球化學結果返回了百萬分之844(“ppm”)鈾(總消化),相應的鈾化驗結果爲 0.101% U3O8。2023 年的勘探計劃重新審視了這塊巨石樣本,並在巨石上方挖掘了覆蓋層,以更好地了解這一事件的性質。這表明,這塊巨石比2021年勘探計劃最初懷疑的要大得多——這塊巨石的頂部表面積約爲0.4 × 0.6米,厚度至少爲30厘米。

The excavation of Boulder #1 also revealed that the uranium mineralization is associated with hydrothermal hematite alteration and a light yellowish-green alteration that is believed to be a secondary hydrothermal alteration that is often associated with uranium mineralization (Photo 2). Furthermore, it was observed that the boulder is very angular, which indicates that it has probably not moved very far from the original bedrock source.

Boulder #1 的挖掘還顯示,鈾礦化與熱赤鐵礦蝕變和淺黃綠色蝕變有關,據信這是次要的熱液蝕變,通常與鈾礦化有關(照片 2)。此外,據觀察,這塊巨石的角度很大,這表明它可能沒有移動到離原始基岩源很遠的地方。

A second highly-radioactive boulder (Boulder #2), which measured between 4,000 and 16,000 cps on the RS-125, was discovered in another target area that was prioritized for follow-up because of an anomalous radiometric response detected in the 2021 airborne radiometric survey. Boulder #2, discovered beneath overburden cover, is located approximately 2.4 kilometers west-southwest of Boulder #1. The boulder is a dark red (hematite altered) pegmatitic syenite and approximately 1.2 x 1.2 metres in surface area. The angular to sub-angular shape of the boulder suggests that it has not been transported very far from its original bedrock location (Photo 3).

在另一個目標區域發現了第二塊高放射性巨石 (Boulder #2),該巨石在 RS-125 上的測量值介於 4,000 到 16,000 cps 之間,由於在 2021 年機載輻射測量中發現了異常的輻射響應,該區域被優先隨訪。Boulder #2 是在覆蓋層覆蓋層下發現的,位於 Boulder #1 西南偏西約 2.4 千米處。這塊巨石是深紅色(赤鐵礦改性)偉晶正長巖,表面積約爲 1.2 x 1.2 米。這塊巨石的角度到亞角形狀表明它沒有被運送到離其原始基岩位置很遠的地方(照片 3)。

Syenite, generally a type of igneous rock but less commonly also known to have a metasomatic origin, is host to uranium mineralization in Saskatchewan at the historic Gunnar Mine near Uranium City, SK. Most of the uranium deposits in the Beaverlodge (Uranium City) district in northern Saskatchewan are located within or adjacent to 'granitic' (sensu lato) rocks. While some workers classify them as granite-related uranium deposits (Chi et al., 2020), other workers have called them "vein uranium deposits" (Ruzicka, 1993), "metasomatic deposits" (IAEA, 2009), and "structure-bound deposits" under the class of "metamorphite deposits" (IAEA, 2018).

Syenite 通常是一種火成岩,但也鮮爲人知具有交代學起源,它是薩斯喀徹溫省鈾城附近歷史悠久的岡納爾礦中鈾礦化的宿主。薩斯喀徹溫省北部比弗洛奇(鈾城)地區的大多數鈾礦牀位於 “花崗岩”(sensu lato)岩石內部或附近。雖然一些工人將其歸類爲與花崗岩相關的鈾礦牀(Chi等人,2020年),但其他工人則稱其爲 “靜脈鈾礦牀”(Ruzicka,1993年)、“交質礦牀”(國際原子能機構,2009年)和 “變極礦牀” 類別下的 “結構沉積物”(IAEA,2018年)。

Samples taken during the 2023 prospecting program were shipped to SRC Geoanalytical Laboratories in Saskatoon, SK ("SRC") for geochemical analysis. Results will be released following their receipt, compilation and interpretation.

在2023年勘探計劃期間採集的樣本被運往位於堪薩斯卡通的SRC地球分析實驗室(“SRC”)進行地球化學分析。結果將在收到、彙編和解釋後公佈。

Recommendations for further work at McKenzie Lake include:

關於在麥肯齊湖開展進一步工作的建議包括:

  • Additional prospecting to locate boulders (or more ideally outcrop and/or subcrop) of similar rock types and alteration to the radioactive boulders found to date. Contingent upon these results, the most prospective areas for follow-up work can be established, including but not limited to, targeted geological mapping, airborne and ground geophysical surveys, and geochemical surveys to identify potential drill targets;
  • Geochemical orientation surveys of surficial materials to determine whether there may be a response associated with the anomalous radioactive boulders. If the geochemical orientation survey results are positive a more detailed surficial materials geochemical survey could be completed to aid in identification of bedrock sources of the uranium mineralization that has been identified in boulders;
  • Compilation of previous work, including soil or till samples, lake sediment samples, and rock sample geochemical results;
  • Identification of the most prospective areas for follow-up work based upon compilation of historical data and ALX's more recent work; and
  • Establish glacial ice directions using available historical data, field data, and high-resolution air photo or satellite photo observations.
  • 進行額外的勘探,以找到與迄今發現的放射性巨石類型相似的巨石(或者更理想的是露頭和/或亞作物),以及與迄今發現的放射性巨石有何變化。視這些結果而定,可以確定最具前景的後續工作領域,包括但不限於有針對性的地質測繪、空中和地面地球物理調查以及用於確定潛在鑽探目標的地球化學調查;
  • 對地表物質進行地球化學定向調查,以確定是否可能存在與異常放射性巨石相關的反應。如果地球化學取向調查結果是肯定的,則可以完成更詳細的地表材料地球化學調查,以幫助確定在巨石中發現的鈾礦化的基岩來源;
  • 彙編先前的工作,包括土壤或耕作樣本、湖泊沉積物樣本和岩石樣本地球化學結果;
  • 根據歷史數據的彙編和ALX的最新工作,確定最有前景的後續工作領域;以及
  • 使用可用的歷史數據、實地數據以及高分辨率的航空照片或衛星照片觀測結果確定冰川冰方向。

About McKenzie Lake

關於麥肯齊湖

McKenzie Lake (5 claims totaling 6,916 hectares, or 17,097 acres) is located in an emerging uranium exploration district in the southeast Athabasca Basin area after new discoveries by Baseload Energy Corp. and 92 Energy Limited in 2021-2022. ALX acquired McKenzie Lake in the fall of 2021 by staking, and by the purchase of three McKenzie Lake claims totaling 2,464 hectares (6,098 acres), which are subject to a 2.0% underlying royalty in favour of the arm's length vendor.

在Baseload Energy Corp. 和92 Energy Limited於2021-2022年發現新發現之後,麥肯齊湖(5個土地總面積爲6,916公頃,合17,097英畝)位於阿薩巴斯卡盆地東南部的一個新興鈾勘探區。ALX於2021年秋季通過質押收購了麥肯齊湖,並收購了總面積爲2464公頃(6,098英畝)的三塊麥肯齊湖土地,這些土地需繳納2.0%的基礎特許權使用費,由獨立賣方支付。

A high-resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric survey at McKenzie Lake flown in 2021 by Special Projects Inc. of Calgary, AB, provided detailed geophysical information on the geological structures present on the Project and identified radiometric "hot spots" for future investigation. ALX subsequently employed artificial intelligence analysis provided by KorrAI of Halifax, NS, to assist in the selection of target areas for surface prospecting at McKenzie Lake.

艾伯塔省卡爾加里的Special Projects Inc.於2021年在麥肯齊湖進行了一次高分辨率機載磁和輻射測量,提供了有關該項目中存在的地質結構的詳細地球物理信息,並確定了供未來調查的放射性 “熱點”。ALX隨後使用了新南威爾士州哈利法克斯的KorraI提供的人工智能分析來協助選擇麥肯齊湖地表勘探的目標區域。
