Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 23, 2024) - ALX Resources Corp. (TSXV: AL) (FSE: 6LLN) (OTC: ALXEF) ("ALX" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has entered into an amending agreement (the "Amendment") with Denison Mines Corp. ("Denison") whereby ALX may increase its ownership interest in the Hook-Carter Uranium property ("Hook-Carter", or the "Project") from 20% to 25% ownership by funding the next $3.0 million of exploration at the Project within the next 30 months. Hook-Carter is a highly-prospective and large exploration property with significant coverage along the prospective Patterson Lake, Carter, and Derksen exploration corridors — notably covering approximately 13 kilometres of the Patterson Lake Corridor along strike of the Arrow uranium deposit owned by NexGen Energy Ltd. ("NexGen"), and the Triple R uranium deposit owned by Fission Uranium Corp. ("Fission").

不列颠哥伦比亚省温哥华--(Newsfile Corp.-2024 年 5 月 23 日)- ALX 资源公司 (TSXV: AL) (FSE: 6LLN)(场外交易所:ALXEF) (“ALX” 或 “公司”) 很高兴地宣布它已经签订了一项修正协议(”修正案“) 与丹尼森矿业公司 (”丹尼森“)据此,ALX可以增加其在Hook-Carter Uranium财产中的所有权权益(”Hook-Carter“,或者”项目“) 通过在未来30个月内为该项目下一个300万美元的勘探提供资金,将所有权从20%提高到25%。Hook-Carter 是一处前景极强的大型勘探地产,覆盖了潜在的帕特森湖、卡特和德克森勘探走廊沿线,主要覆盖了 NexGen Energy Ltd. 旗下的 Arrow 铀矿床沿线约13公里的帕特森湖走廊。(”NexGen“),以及 Fission Uranium Corp. 拥有的 Triple R 铀矿床(”裂变“)。

Background to the ALX-Denison Hook-Carter Agreement

亚历克斯·丹尼森·胡克-卡特协议的背景

On October 16, 2016, ALX and Denison entered into a purchase agreement (the "Original Agreement"), whereby ALX sold an 80% interest in the Project in exchange for 7.5 million shares of Denison. ALX retained a 20% interest in Hook-Carter, and Denison agreed to fund ALX's share of the first $12.0 million of expenditures. On November 15, 2019, ALX and Denison executed a written acknowledgement with respect to the deemed formation of a joint venture between them upon Denison's completion of a requirement to solely fund a minimum of $3.0 million of project expenditures within an initial 36-month funding period. Since 2016, Denison's exploration expenditures at Hook-Carter total $7.05 million, including the completion of surface and airborne geophysical programs, as well as nearly 12,000 metres of diamond drilling.

2016年10月16日,ALX和丹尼森签订了收购协议(”原始协议“),ALX出售了该项目80%的权益,以换取丹尼森750万股股份。ALX保留了胡克·卡特20%的权益,丹尼森同意为ALX在首批1,200万美元支出中的份额提供资金。2019年11月15日,在丹尼森完成了在最初的36个月融资期内为至少300万美元的项目支出单独提供资金的要求后,ALX和丹尼森签署了关于双方视为成立合资企业的书面确认。自2016年以来,丹尼森在胡克-卡特的勘探支出总额为705万美元,包括完成地表和空中地球物理项目,以及近12,000米的钻石钻探。

"ALX is very pleased to work with Denison to develop new drill targets at Hook-Carter," said Warren Stanyer, CEO and Chairman of ALX. "The Patterson Lake Corridor has seen the discovery of hundreds of millions of pounds of uranium in the past decade, making it one of the world's most fertile regions for uranium exploration. Two new uranium discoveries have been reported in 2024 to the south of our property by NexGen and by the Purepoint Uranium-Cameco Corporation-Orano Canada joint venture, which makes a renewed exploration effort at Hook-Carter even more compelling. The Amendment creates a pathway to accelerate exploration activity on this highly-prospective project for mutual benefit of the partners following a period of limited activity."

ALX首席执行官兼董事长沃伦·斯坦耶表示:“ALX很高兴与丹尼森合作,在胡克卡特开发新的钻探目标。”“在过去的十年中,帕特森湖走廊发现了数亿磅的铀,使其成为世界上最肥沃的铀勘探地区之一。2024年,NexGen和Purepoint铀-Cameco公司与加拿大欧兰诺的合资企业在我们物业以南发现了两项新的铀,这使得在胡克卡特重新开展的勘探工作更加引人注目。该修正案为加快这一前景广阔的项目的勘探活动开辟了一条途径,使合作伙伴在一段有限的活动之后互惠互利。”

Highlights of the Hook-Carter Joint Venture Amendment Agreement

胡克-卡特合资企业修正协议的要点

  • ALX can earn an additional 5.0% interest in Hook-Carter by funding $3.0 million of exploration at Hook-Carter within a 30-month period from May 21, 2024, (the "ALX Funding Period"), which would change the joint venture participating interests to 75% Denison — 25% ALX;
  • ALX可以在自2024年5月21日起的30个月内为胡克卡特的勘探提供300万美元的资金,从而额外获得胡克-卡特5.0%的权益,(”ALX 资助期限“),这将使合资企业的参与权益更改为75%丹尼森——25%ALX;
  • ALX is obligated to fund a minimum of $500,000 prior to March 31, 2025, and shall reasonably demonstrate, prior to June 30, 2025, that it has secured a further $750,000 committed to exploration expenditures at Hook-Carter;
  • ALX有义务在2025年3月31日之前提供至少50万美元的资金,并应在2025年6月30日之前合理证明其已在Hook-Carter再获得75万美元的勘探支出承诺;
  • All exploration expenditures incurred during the ALX Funding Period shall require approval by both Denison and ALX, each in its respective sole discretion and with each party acting reasonably;
  • 在ALX资助期内产生的所有勘探支出均需获得丹尼森和ALX的批准,双方自行决定并由各方合理行事;
  • Denison will not be obligated to incur any further exploration expenditures at the Project until the successful completion of the ALX Funding Period, after which each of ALX and Denison would be responsible for their respective financial contributions on a pro-rata basis under the joint venture terms contained in the Original Agreement. ALX and Denison have agreed to promptly and in good faith negotiate and enter into one or more agreements to supersede the Original Agreement and the Amending Agreement in order to govern the affairs of the joint venture following the completion of the ALX Funding Period;
  • 在ALX资助期成功结束之前,丹尼森没有义务在该项目上承担任何进一步的勘探支出,在此之后,ALX和Denison将根据原始协议中包含的合资企业条款,按比例承担各自的财务捐款。ALX和丹尼森已同意立即本着诚意进行谈判并签订一项或多项协议,以取代原始协议和修订协议,以管理ALX资助期结束后的合资企业事务;
  • Should ALX spend less than $3.0 million during the term of the ALX Funding Period, the participating interests of Denison and ALX in the joint venture would remain unchanged from the current levels of 80% Denison — 20% ALX.
  • 如果ALX在ALX融资期内支出少于300万美元,则丹尼森和ALX在合资企业中的参与权益将与目前丹尼森80%——ALX20%的水平保持不变。

About Hook-Carter

关于 Hook-Carter

Hook-Carter consists of eleven claims covering 25,115 hectares and is located in the southwest corner of the Athabasca Basin, approximately 147 kilometres northeast of La Loche, Saskatchewan. The Project has excellent potential to host economic uranium deposits. Hook-Carter is interpreted to host the northeastern strike extension of the Patterson Lake Corridor ("PLC"), which hosts NexGen's Arrow uranium deposit, Fission's Triple R uranium deposit, and Purepoint Uranium Group's ("Purepoint") Spitfire, Hornet and Dragon zones in a joint venture with Cameco Corporation and Orano Canada. The Project also overlies the interpreted strike extension of the Carter and Derksen corridors - each are highly-prospective, under-explored corridors in which significant uranium mineralization may exist (see Figure 1 below).

Hook-Carter由11项索赔组成,占地25,115公顷,位于阿萨巴斯卡盆地的西南角,位于萨斯喀彻温省拉洛什东北约147公里处。该项目具有储存经济铀矿床的巨大潜力。据解释,胡克-卡特是帕特森湖走廊(“PLC”)东北扩建部分的主办地,该走廊拥有NexGen的Arro铀矿床、Fission的Triple R铀矿床以及Purepoint铀集团(“Purepoint”)与Cameco公司和加拿大奥兰诺合资的喷火战车、大黄蜂和龙区。该项目还掩盖了卡特和德克森走廊经解释的走向延伸部分——每条走廊都是前景看好、勘探不足的走廊,其中可能存在大量的铀矿化现象(见下图1)。

In 2023, Denison carried out a ZTEM deep-penetrating airborne electromagnetic survey at Hook-Carter, which is known to be an effective exploration method for detecting geophysical conductors that may be associated with unconformity uranium mineralization. The 2023 ZTEM survey successfully outlined historical conductors at Hook-Carter and resolved new conductors in deeper terrain that were not identified by previous geophysical surveys.

2023 年,丹尼森在 Hook-Carter 进行了 ZTEM 深度穿透机载电磁测量,众所周知,这是探测可能与铀矿化不一致有关的地球物理导体的有效勘探方法。2023 年 ZTEM 调查成功概述了胡克-卡特的历史导体,并解析了先前地球物理调查未发现的更深地形中的新导体。

Hook-Carter Exploration 2017-2019

胡克-卡特探索之旅 2017-2019

Denison conducted ground geophysical surveys and completed 15 diamond drill holes totaling 11,771.7 metres (an additional 1,992 metres were drilled in seven abandoned holes) in its initial exploration programs at Hook-Carter from 2017 to 2019. Favorable structure and alteration were encountered in the majority of the completed drill holes and geochemical results showed elevated concentrations of traditional uranium pathfinder elements in certain drill holes, as well as sudoite (a magnesium-chlorite mineral) and dravite (a boron mineral), which are both clay minerals detected from spectral analysis, which may suggest the presence of a potential mineralizing system on Hook-Carter. These drilling programs provided reconnaissance level drill hole coverage along the PLC at an approximate 1,200-metre spacing within Denison's 2017 grid, which forms an important initial repository of drilling data and, when integrated with available geophysical data, is anticipated to be used to prioritize target horizons in the planning of future exploration programs.

丹尼森在2017年至2019年在胡克卡特的初步勘探计划中进行了地面地球物理调查,完成了15个钻石钻孔,总长11,771.7米(在七个废弃的孔中又钻了1,992米)。大多数已完成的钻孔都遇到了良好的结构和变化,地球化学结果显示,某些钻孔中传统的铀探路者元素浓度升高,方钠岩(一种亚氯酸镁矿物)和钠铁矿(一种硼矿物),它们都是通过光谱分析检测到的粘土矿物,这可能表明Hook-Carter上存在潜在的矿化系统。这些钻探计划在丹尼森2017年电网内为PLC沿线提供了侦察级别的钻孔覆盖范围,间距约为1200米,这构成了重要的初始钻探数据存储库,当与可用的地球物理数据整合后,预计将在未来勘探计划的规划中用于确定目标视野的优先顺序。

Outside of the established Denison grid in the south-central part of Hook-Carter (see Figure 1), there remains high potential along the PLC to the northeast. Geophysical surveys (ground EM and DC-IP resistivity) are recommended over the northeastern extent of the PLC, as resolved by the 2023 ZTEM survey, prior to drill hole testing.

在胡克-卡特中南部已建立的丹尼森电网外(见图1),PLC沿线东北部的潜力仍然很大。2023 年 ZTEM 调查决定,在钻孔测试之前,建议在 PLC 的东北部进行地球物理调查(地面 EM 和 DC-IP 电阻率)。

The Carter and Derkson corridors striking through Hook-Carter also have the potential to host significant uranium deposits. The Derkson Corridor has an advantage in that the depth to the unconformity is shallower, ranging from approximately 330 to 476 metres, and hosts a mineralized drill hole on Purepoint's claim along strike to the southwest (1978 hole DER-4: 0.24% U3O8 and 1.35% nickel over 2.5 metres). In April 2024, Purepoint reported a new uranium discovery known as "Lightning" in the Carter Corridor with a drill intersection of 0.9 metres grading 0.29% U3O8. The Carter Corridor has not yet been drill-tested by the Denison-ALX joint venture at Hook-Carter. Geophysical surveys (ground EM and DC-IP resistivity) over these parallel corridors are also recommended prior to drill testing.

穿过胡克-卡特的卡特和德克森走廊也有可能储存大量的铀矿床。德克森走廊的优势在于,不整合深度较浅,从大约 330 米到 476 米不等,并且在 Purepoint 主张的西南走向(1978 年洞 DER-4:0.24% U)上有一个矿化钻孔3O8 以及 1.35% 的镍(2.5 米以上)。2024 年 4 月,Purepoint 报告在卡特走廊发现了一个名为 “闪电” 的新铀,其钻探交叉点为 0.9 米,铀品位为 0.29%3O8。位于胡克-卡特的丹尼森-ALX合资企业尚未对卡特走廊进行钻探测试。在钻探测试之前,还建议在这些平行走廊上进行地球物理调查(地面 EM 和 DC-IP 电阻率)。
