温哥华,不列颠哥伦比亚省——(Newsfile Corp.-2024年8月6日)——Cosa Resources Corp.(TSXV:COSA)(OTCQB:COSAF)(FSE:SSKU)(“Cosa”或“公司”)很高兴宣布完成此前宣布的扩张(“收购”)Saskatchewan省Athabasca盆地(“Orbit”)中的铀矿物产权,来自Skyharbour Resources Ltd.(“供应商”),根据2024年7月26日的资产购买协议(“购买协议”)
Highlights
亮点
Two mineral dispositions totalling 6,049 hectares have been acquired, doubling the footprint of Orbit to 12,718 hectares
Expands Cosa's control of undrilled strike length to eight kilometres located on trend with uranium mineralization, hydrothermal alteration, and reactivated graphitic faulting to the southwest
已获得两个矿产权,总面积为6,049公顷,使Orbit的面积扩大到12,718公顷
将Cosa对未钻探的沿着铀化矿物化路径、热液改造和重激活石墨断层向西南延伸的八公里控制能力扩大。
Keith Bodnarchuk, President and CEO of Cosa, commented: "We are very pleased to double the footprint of the Orbit Project, which covers shallow target areas that have been largely overlooked by modern exploration. We look forward to receipt of results from recent airborne electromagnetic and gravity surveys which will guide continued exploration of this prospective area located only 25 kilometres from the Key Lake Uranium mill. We thank the Skyharbour team for their part in completing this Acquisition in a timely and businesslike manner. Having closed this transaction, Cosa continues 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的董事长兼CEO Keith Bodnarchuk评论道:“我们非常高兴将Orbit项目的面积扩大一倍,覆盖了现代勘探基本忽略的浅目标区域。我们期待从最近进行的空中电磁和重力调查中获得结果,这将指导继续开发这个有前途的区域,该区域距Key Lake铀矿场仅25公里。我们感谢Skyharbour团队及时而商业方式地完成了此项收购,并认为Cosa继续寻找并追求成本效益高的项目和钻探目标的机会,因为我们已获得全额筹资并计划在2025年前完成所有的勘探计划。”
The Expanded Orbit Project
扩展轨道项目
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 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.
Orbit项目位于Athabasca盆地以南约19公里和Key Lake铀矿山以南约22公里的位置(图1),可以通过一系列小径到达该项目,距省道914仅11公里。尽管Key Lake矿山历史上的产量超过20900万磅U3O8,平均品位为2.3%,但Orbit项目和周围地区基本没有接受现代勘探。
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.
扩展轨道项目的北方几乎覆盖了一个东北走向的磁性低点延伸的折线8公里,其中包括了再生石墨化断层、强烈的热液改造和弱铀矿化。钻孔TED-01(106.4 - 106.6m)中矿化程度为0.07%U3O8。 该趋势与曾经的Key Lake Mine铀矿的Gaertner和Deilmann铀矿产所在的趋势基本呈互为平行之势。
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.
轨道项目的南部覆盖曲线完成的东北向磁性低点,这些低点由区域磁性数据识别的线ament穿过,表明有利结构复杂性。与轨道项目的北部一样,这个区域也未经钻探测试。与东北的100%拥有的奥罗拉项目类似,科萨认为轨道项目的开发越来越少,仍具有潜在性,适合露天和露天开采铀矿。该公司旨在2025年完成轨道项目的初始钻探测试。
Acquisition Details
收购细节
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Cosa has acquired 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 are subject to a four-month hold period pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws, after which 50% of the Consideration Shares will become free trading. The Vendor has agreed to voluntary resale restrictions whereby the balance of 50% of the Consideration Shares will become free trading six months after closing.
根据购买协议,Cosa已以公司250,000股普通股的形式从供应商获取了两个矿业权的100%无负担权属。根据适用的加拿大证券法规定,考虑股票将被限制四个月,之后50%的考虑股票将成为自由买卖。供应商同意自愿销售限制,即在交易结束后6个月,剩余50%的考虑股票将成为自由买卖。

About Cosa Resources Corp.
关于Cosa公司。
Cosa Resources is a Canadian uranium exploration company operating in northern Saskatchewan. The portfolio comprises roughly 216,000 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是一家在北部萨斯喀彻温省运营的加拿大铀勘探公司。组合包括位于Athabasca盆地地区的多个项目,总共约21.6万公顷,所有这些项目都未得到充分开发,而大部分位于或毗邻已建立的铀走廊内。
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拥有長期成功的记录。在2022年,Cosa团队成员因他们之前发现IsoEnergy的飓风矿床而被授予AME Colin Spence Award。在Hurricane之前,Cosa的人员曾领导团队或扮演关键角色发现了Denison Mines的Gryphon矿床和92 Energy的Gemini Zone,并在NexGen和IsoEnergy的成立中担任重要角色。
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.
Cosa 的主要重点直到 2024 年是在我们的 Ursa 项目进行初步钻探,该项目涵盖了 Cable Bay 剪切带超过 60 公里长的部分,这是一个已知矿化和历史钻探有限的区域性构造回廊。该项目有可能是东部 Athabasca 回廊中尚未发现重大矿床的最后机会。Cosa 在 2023 年完成的现代地球物理工作识别出多个高优先级的目标区域,这些区域的下部地层电性地层下面或相邻于推测的砂岩蚀变带,这是大多数东部 Athabasca 铀矿床的典型地貌。2024 年冬天在 Ursa 钻探的初步结果是积极的,并包括位于距离亚阿特巴斯卡不整合面 250 至 460 米处的 Athabasca 砂岩中的一大片蚀变和相关构造的交叉口。后续计划在 2024 年下半年进行。
