Cosa Resources Enters Agreement to Expand Its 100% Owned Orbit Uranium Project, Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 29, 2024) - Cosa Resources Corp. (TSXV: COSA) (OTCQB: COSAF) (FSE: SSKU) ("Cosa" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has entered into an asset purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Skyharbour Resources Ltd. (the "Vendor") dated July 26, 2024, for the acquisition (the "Acquisition") of two mineral claims in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan (the "Claims").
不列颠哥伦比亚省温哥华--(Newsfile Corp.,2024年7月29日)——科萨资源公司(多伦多证券交易所股票代码:COSA)(OTCQB:COSAF)(FSE:SSKU)(“Cosa” 或 “公司”)欣然宣布,它已于2024年7月26日与Skyharbour Resources Ltd.(“供应商”)签订了2024年7月26日的资产购买协议(“收购协议”)(“供应商”)(“收购”)萨斯喀彻温省阿萨巴斯卡盆地的两项矿产索赔(“索赔”)。
Highlights
亮点
- Two mineral dispositions totalling 6,049 hectares to be acquired, doubling the footprint of the Orbit uranium project (the "Orbit Project") to 12,718 hectares
- Expands Cosa's control of untested strike length to eight kilometres located on trend with uranium mineralization, hydrothermal alteration, and reactivated graphitic faulting to the southwest
- 将收购总面积为6,049公顷的两处矿产,使轨道铀项目(“轨道项目”)的占地面积翻了一番,达到12,718公顷
- 将Cosa对未经测试的走向长度的控制范围扩大到八千米,趋势是铀矿化、热液蚀变和重新激活的石墨岩断层向西南方向发展
Keith Bodnarchuk, President and CEO of Cosa, commented: "This acquisition adds significant value and exploration runway to the Orbit Project, which is proximal to infrastructure and within 25 kilometres of the Key Lake Uranium Mill and the former Key Lake Uranium Mine. We are very pleased to expand this project, which is situated in a highly prospective area that has been largely overlooked by modern exploration despite having shallow target areas with no sandstone cover. We appreciate the effort from the Skyharbour team to complete this agreement in a timely manner. Cosa will continue to identify and pursue cost-effective opportunities to add to our pipeline of exciting projects and drill targets as we remain fully funded to complete all of our exploration plans into 2025."
Cosa总裁兼首席执行官基思·博德纳丘克评论说:“此次收购为轨道项目增加了可观的价值和勘探空间,该项目靠近基础设施,距离Key Lake铀厂和前Key Lake铀矿不到25公里。我们很高兴扩大该项目,该项目位于一个前景广阔的地区,尽管目标区域较浅,没有砂岩覆盖,但现代勘探在很大程度上被忽视。我们感谢Skyharbour团队为及时完成该协议所做的努力。Cosa将继续寻找并寻求具有成本效益的机会,以增加我们令人兴奋的项目和钻探目标,因为我们仍有充足的资金,可以在2025年之前完成所有勘探计划。”
Andy Carmichael, VP of Exploration of Cosa, commented: "The northern magnetic-low trend at the Orbit Project hosts known occurrences of uranium mineralization, hydrothermal alteration, and reactivated graphitic faulting on strike to the southwest, all of which can be important indicators of a uranium deposit on trend. We are excited to have nearly doubled the completely untested strike length of this trend contained by the Orbit Project. Furthermore, the southern portion of the Orbit Project hosts several complex magnetic low trends that have not been significantly explored and warrant additional work."
科萨勘探部副总裁安迪·卡迈克尔评论说:“轨道项目的北方磁低点趋势是已知的铀矿化、热液蚀变和向西南冲击时重新激活的石墨岩断层,所有这些都可能是铀矿床趋势的重要指标。我们很高兴能够将Orbit Project所包含的这一趋势的完全未经测试的打击长度增加近一倍。此外,轨道项目的南部有几种复杂的低磁趋势,这些趋势尚未得到充分的探索,需要进一步研究。”
The Expanded Orbit Project
扩建轨道项目
The Orbit Project is located roughly 19 kilometres south of the Athabasca Basin and 22 kilometres south of the Key Lake Mill and former Key Lake Mine (Figure 1) and is accessible by a network of trails extending to within 11 kilometres of the Orbit Project from Provincial Highway 914. Despite the Key Lake Mine's historical production of over 209 million lbs U3O8 at an average grade of 2.3%, the Orbit Project and surrounding area have seen little modern exploration.
轨道项目位于阿萨巴斯卡盆地以南约19公里处,基湖磨坊和前基湖矿以南22公里处(图1),可通过从914号省道延伸到轨道项目不到11公里的步道网络到达。尽管基湖矿的历史产量超过20900万磅,平均品位为2.3%,但轨道项目及周边地区几乎没有进行任何现代探索。
The northern portion of the expanded Orbit Project captures nearly eight kilometres of the interpreted strike extension of a northeast-trending magnetic low corridor that hosts occurrences of graphitic faulting, strong hydrothermal alteration, and weak uranium mineralization including 0.07% U3O8 in drill hole TED-01 (106.4 - 106.6 metres). The trend is sub-parallel to that which hosts the Gaertner and Deilmann uranium deposits of the former Key Lake Mine.
扩建后的轨道项目的北部捕获了近八千米的东北向磁低走廊的解释走向延伸部分,该走廊出现了石墨断层、强烈的热液蚀变和弱铀矿化,包括钻孔 TED-01(106.4-106.6 米)中的 0.07% 的铀矿化。这种趋势与前基湖矿的盖特纳和戴尔曼铀矿床所在的趋势略有相似之处。
The southern portion of the Orbit Project covers curvilinear, northeast-trending magnetic lows crosscut by lineaments identified from regional magnetic data which suggest favourable structural complexity. As with the northern portion of the Orbit Project, this area is untested by drilling. Like the 100% owned Aurora project to the northeast, Cosa believes that the Orbit Project is underexplored and remains prospective for near surface and open-pit amenable uranium mineralization. The Company aims to complete initial drill testing at the Orbit Project in 2025.
轨道项目的南部部分涵盖了曲线、东北向的磁低点,这些线条是从区域磁数据中识别出来的,这些线条表明结构的复杂性良好。与轨道项目的北部一样,该地区未经钻探测试。与东北部 100% 拥有的Aurora项目一样,Cosa认为,Orbit项目开发不足,仍有望实现近地表和露天适宜的铀矿化。该公司的目标是在2025年完成轨道项目的初步钻探测试。
Acquisition Details
收购详情
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Cosa has agreed to acquire a 100% unencumbered ownership of two mineral claims from the Vendor in exchange for 250,000 common shares of the Company (the "Consideration Shares"). The Consideration Shares will be subject to a four-month hold period pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws, after which 50% of the Consideration Shares will become free trading.

About Cosa Resources Corp.
Cosa 资源公司简介
Cosa Resources is a Canadian uranium exploration company operating in northern Saskatchewan. The portfolio comprises roughly 209,000 ha across multiple projects in the Athabasca Basin region, all of which are underexplored, and the majority reside within or adjacent to established uranium corridors.
Cosa Resources是一家加拿大铀勘探公司,在萨斯喀彻温省北部开展业务。该投资组合包括阿萨巴斯卡盆地地区的多个项目约20.9万公顷,所有这些项目均未得到充分开发,大多数位于已建铀走廊内或附近。
Cosa's award-winning management team has a long track record of success in Saskatchewan. In 2022, members of the Cosa team were awarded the AME Colin Spence Award for their previous involvement in discovering IsoEnergy's Hurricane deposit. Prior to Hurricane, Cosa personnel led teams or had integral roles in the discovery of Denison Mines' Gryphon deposit and 92 Energy's Gemini Zone and held key roles in the founding of both NexGen and IsoEnergy.
Cosa屡获殊荣的管理团队在萨斯喀彻温省有着长期的成功记录。2022年,Cosa团队的成员因参与发现IsoEnergy的飓风沉积物而获得了AME科林·斯彭斯奖。在飓风来临之前,Cosa人员领导团队或在丹尼森矿业的Gryphon矿床和92 Energy的双子座地带的发现中发挥了不可或缺的作用,并在NexGen和IsoEnergy的创立中担任过关键角色。
Cosa's primary focus through 2024 is initial drilling at our Ursa Project, which captures over 60-kilometres of strike length of the Cable Bay Shear Zone, a regional structural corridor with known mineralization and limited historical drilling. It potentially represents the last remaining eastern Athabasca corridor to not yet yield a major discovery. Modern geophysics completed by Cosa in 2023 identified multiple high-priority target areas characterized by conductive basement stratigraphy beneath or adjacent to broad zones of inferred sandstone alteration - a setting that is typical of most eastern Athabasca uranium deposits. Initial drilling results from Ursa in winter 2024 are positive and include the intersection of a broad zone of alteration with associated structure in the Athabasca sandstone located 250 to 460 metres above the sub-Athabasca unconformity. Follow-up is planned in the second half of 2024.
到2024年,Cosa的主要重点是对我们的Ursa项目进行初步钻探,该项目捕获了凯布尔湾剪切带60多公里的走向长度,这是一个区域结构走廊,矿化程度已知,历史钻探有限。它可能是阿萨巴斯卡东部剩下的最后一条尚未发现重大发现的走廊。Cosa在2023年完成的现代地球物理学确定了多个高度优先的目标区域,其特征是推断的砂岩蚀变区域下方或附近的传导基底地层,这种环境是大多数阿萨巴斯卡铀矿床的典型环境。Ursa在2024年冬季的初步钻探结果是积极的,其中包括阿萨巴斯卡砂岩中宽阔的蚀变区域与相关结构的交汇处,该砂岩位于亚阿萨巴斯卡不整合区上方250至460米处。后续行动计划在2024年下半年进行。
