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").

不列顛哥倫比亞省溫哥華--(Newsfile Corp.-2024 年 5 月 23 日)- ALX 資源公司 (TSXV: AL) (FSE: 6LLN)(場外交易所:ALXEF) (“ALX” 或 “公司”) 很高興地宣佈它已經簽訂了一項修正協議(”修正案“) 與丹尼森礦業公司 (”丹尼森“)據此,ALX可以增加其在Hook-Carter Uranium財產中的所有權權益(”Hook-Carter“,或者”項目“) 通過在未來30個月內爲該項目下一個300萬美元的勘探提供資金,將所有權從20%提高到25%。Hook-Carter 是一處前景極強的大型勘探地產,覆蓋了潛在的帕特森湖、卡特和德克森勘探走廊沿線,主要覆蓋了 NexGen Energy Ltd. 旗下的 Arrow 鈾礦牀沿線約13公里的帕特森湖走廊。(”NexGen“),以及 Fission Uranium Corp. 擁有的 Triple R 鈾礦牀(”裂變“)。

Background to the ALX-Denison Hook-Carter Agreement

亞歷克斯·丹尼森·胡克-卡特協議的背景

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和丹尼森簽訂了收購協議(”原始協議“),ALX出售了該項目80%的權益,以換取丹尼森750萬股股份。ALX保留了胡克·卡特20%的權益,丹尼森同意爲ALX在首批1,200萬美元支出中的份額提供資金。2019年11月15日,在丹尼森完成了在最初的36個月融資期內爲至少300萬美元的項目支出單獨提供資金的要求後,ALX和丹尼森簽署了關於雙方視爲成立合資企業的書面確認。自2016年以來,丹尼森在胡克-卡特的勘探支出總額爲705萬美元,包括完成地表和空中地球物理項目,以及近12,000米的鑽石鑽探。

"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首席執行官兼董事長禾倫·斯坦耶表示:“ALX很高興與丹尼森合作,在胡克卡特開發新的鑽探目標。”“在過去的十年中,帕特森湖走廊發現了數億磅的鈾,使其成爲世界上最肥沃的鈾勘探地區之一。2024年,NexGen和Purepoint鈾-Cameco公司與加拿大歐蘭諾的合資企業在我們物業以南發現了兩項新的鈾,這使得在胡克卡特重新開展的勘探工作更加引人注目。該修正案爲加快這一前景廣闊的項目的勘探活動開闢了一條途徑,使合作伙伴在一段有限的活動之後互惠互利。”

Highlights of the Hook-Carter Joint Venture Amendment Agreement

胡克-卡特合資企業修正協議的要點

  • 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個月內爲胡克卡特的勘探提供300萬美元的資金,從而額外獲得胡克-卡特5.0%的權益,(”ALX 資助期限“),這將使合資企業的參與權益更改爲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有義務在2025年3月31日之前提供至少50萬美元的資金,並應在2025年6月30日之前合理證明其已在Hook-Carter再獲得75萬美元的勘探支出承諾;
  • 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資助期內產生的所有勘探支出均需獲得丹尼森和ALX的批准,雙方自行決定並由各方合理行事;
  • 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資助期成功結束之前,丹尼森沒有義務在該項目上承擔任何進一步的勘探支出,在此之後,ALX和Denison將根據原始協議中包含的合資企業條款,按比例承擔各自的財務捐款。ALX和丹尼森已同意立即本着誠意進行談判並簽訂一項或多項協議,以取代原始協議和修訂協議,以管理ALX資助期結束後的合資企業事務;
  • 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融資期內支出少於300萬美元,則丹尼森和ALX在合資企業中的參與權益將與目前丹尼森80%——ALX20%的水平保持不變。

About Hook-Carter

關於 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項索賠組成,佔地25,115公頃,位於阿薩巴斯卡盆地的西南角,位於薩斯喀徹溫省拉洛什東北約147公里處。該項目具有儲存經濟鈾礦牀的巨大潛力。據解釋,胡克-卡特是帕特森湖走廊(“PLC”)東北擴建部分的主辦地,該走廊擁有NexGen的Arro鈾礦牀、Fission的Triple R鈾礦牀以及Purepoint鈾集團(“Purepoint”)與Cameco公司和加拿大奧蘭諾合資的噴火戰車、大黃蜂和龍區。該項目還掩蓋了卡特和德克森走廊經解釋的走向延伸部分——每條走廊都是前景看好、勘探不足的走廊,其中可能存在大量的鈾礦化現象(見下圖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 進行了 ZTEM 深度穿透機載電磁測量,衆所周知,這是探測可能與鈾礦化不一致有關的地球物理導體的有效勘探方法。2023 年 ZTEM 調查成功概述了胡克-卡特的歷史導體,並解析了先前地球物理調查未發現的更深地形中的新導體。

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計劃中進行了地面地球物理調查,完成了15個鑽石鑽孔,總長11,771.7米(在七個廢棄的孔中又鑽了1,992米)。大多數已完成的鑽孔都遇到了良好的結構和變化,地球化學結果顯示,某些鑽孔中傳統的鈾探路者元素濃度升高,方鈉巖(一種亞氯酸鎂礦物)和鈉鐵礦(一種硼礦物),它們都是通過光譜分析檢測到的粘土礦物,這可能表明Hook-Carter上存在潛在的礦化系統。這些鑽探計劃在丹尼森2017年電網內爲PLC沿線提供了偵察級別的鑽孔覆蓋範圍,間距約爲1200米,這構成了重要的初始鑽探數據存儲庫,當與可用的地球物理數據整合後,預計將在未來勘探計劃的規劃中用於確定目標視野的優先順序。

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電網外(見圖1),PLC沿線東北部的潛力仍然很大。2023 年 ZTEM 調查決定,在鑽孔測試之前,建議在 PLC 的東北部進行地球物理調查(地面 EM 和 DC-IP 電阻率)。

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.

穿過胡克-卡特的卡特和德克森走廊也有可能儲存大量的鈾礦牀。德克森走廊的優勢在於,不整合深度較淺,從大約 330 米到 476 米不等,並且在 Purepoint 主張的西南走向(1978 年洞 DER-4:0.24% U)上有一個礦化鑽孔3O8 以及 1.35% 的鎳(2.5 米以上)。2024 年 4 月,Purepoint 報告在卡特走廊發現了一個名爲 “閃電” 的新鈾,其鑽探交叉點爲 0.9 米,鈾品位爲 0.29%3O8。位於胡克-卡特的丹尼森-ALX合資企業尚未對卡特走廊進行鑽探測試。在鑽探測試之前,還建議在這些平行走廊上進行地球物理調查(地面 EM 和 DC-IP 電阻率)。
