Bedford Metals Obtains Satellite Survey Results on the Sheppard Lake Uranium Project, Northern Saskatchewan
Peter Born, President of Bedford, commented, "The results of the satellite survey at Sheppard Lake are highly encouraging. The identification of key methane and hydrogen anomalies along the northwest-trending fault provides us with a clear exploration focus. We are excited to begin field investigations in this newly identified corridor and build on these promising findings."VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bedford Metals Corp. (TSX-V: BFM, FWB: O8D, ISIN: CA0762301012) (the "Company" or "Bedford") is pleased to announce the results of its VNIR (Visible Near Field Infrared) and SWIR (Shortwave Infrared) satellite investigation at its Sheppard Lake Uranium Project, which adjoins the Ubiquity Lake Uranium project, just south of the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan.
温哥华，不列颠哥伦比亚省，2024年8月12日 (全球新闻通讯社) -- Bedford金属公司。 （TSX-V：BFm，FWB：O8D，ISIN：CA0762301012）(以下简称“公司”或“Bedford”)非常高兴地宣布，其Sheppard Lake铀项目的VNIR(可见近场红外线)和SWIR(短波红外线)卫星勘探结果，该项目毗邻Ubiquity Lake铀项目，位于萨斯喀彻温省Athabasca盆地以南。
The statistical analysis, conducted by Dr. Neil Pendock, PhD in Applied Mathematics, successfully identified several positive indicators. Of particular interest was the identification of methane gas, believed to be produced by altered clays, particularly illite. This finding is significant because unconformity-style uranium deposits in the Athabasca Basin are often associated with hydrothermal events that produce illite.
由应用数学博士Neil Pendock博士进行的统计分析成功识别出多个积极因素。特别是识别出的甲烷气体，据信是由改性粘土，特别是伊利石产生的。这一发现的意义重大，因为Athabasca盆地的不整合型铀矿床常与产生伊利石的热液事件相关联。
The investigation revealed a series of discrete methane anomalies correlating to a northwest-trending fault, with the southern end terminating at the TZ1 anomaly located on the Ubiquity Lake claims. Additionally, hydrogen gas was noted, adhering strongly to the northwest-trending fault. This trend has led to the outlining of a broader exploration corridor, approximately 8km in length and 1.5km in width. This corridor will form the first line of investigation for field crews in 2024.
调查揭示了一系列离散的甲烷异常，与一条向西北走向的断层相关，其南端终止于Ubiquity湖权利要求上的TZ1异常。此外，氢气也被注意到，强烈附着在向西北走向的断层上。这一趋势导致勘探走廊轮廓的确定，其长度约为8公里，宽度为1.5公里。该走廊将成为2024年现场工作调查的首要方向。
Peter Born, President of Bedford, commented, "The results of the satellite survey at Sheppard Lake are highly encouraging. The identification of key methane and hydrogen anomalies along the northwest-trending fault provides us with a clear exploration focus. We are excited to begin field investigations in this newly identified corridor and build on these promising findings."
Peter Born，Bedford的总裁说：“我们很高兴迈出发展Ubiquity Lake铀矿项目的下一步。勘探许可证的申请是我们的团队经过精心规划和勤勉工作的集大成之作。我们相信，该勘探计划的时机与人们对铀需求的不断增加及全球对可持续能源解决方案的关注完美契合。Bedford评论称，“Sheppard Lake的卫星调查结果令人鼓舞。 识别出的关键甲烷和氢异常沿西北走向的断层，为我们提供了明确的勘探重点。 我们对开始在这个新确定的走廊进行田野调查并建立这些有前途的发现感到兴奋。”
Bedford remains committed to conducting all exploration and development work in an environmentally responsible manner and in consultation with local stakeholders. The Company prioritizes minimizing its environmental footprint and ensuring that all operations are sustainable and responsible.

Background: The Region of Interest (ROI) is close to the Carpenter Lake Uranium Project of ALX Resources. The project is located along the Cable Bay Shear Zone (CBSZ), parallel to the Virgin River Shear Zone, which hosts Cameco's Centennial uranium deposit. It is 95 km west of Cameco's past-producing Key Lake uranium mine and 45 km southeast of the Centennial deposit.
背景：地域板块靠近ALX资源公司的卡本特湖铀矿项目。该项目位于Cable Bay剪切带(CBSZ)沿着Virgin河剪切带平行的地带，它是Cameco的Centennial铀矿床的宿主。它距Cameco的过去生产的Key Lake铀矿和Centennial铀矿床分别有95公里和45公里。
The dominant lithologies are granite gneiss and granite pegmatite, with lesser mafic gneiss, pelitic schist, and scattered mafic dykes. The CBSZ is delineated by three parallel electromagnetic conductor axes, suggesting the hanging wall, footwall, and middle of a conductive panel of graphitic or sulfide-rich rocks. The project is situated on basement-type unconformity-related uranium deposits, similar to the Millennium, Eagle Point, and P-Patch deposits.
主要岩石包括花岗岩片麻岩和花岗岩伟晶岩，较少的云母片岩、页岩和散布的辉长岩脉。CBSZ由三条平行的电磁导体轴线勾勒而成，表明是石墨或富含硫化物的岩石的导电板的顶板、底板和中部。该项目位于地下不整合型铀矿床附近，类似于Millennium、Eagle Point和P-Patch矿床。
The area remains underexplored despite strong radiometric and base metal geochemistry indicators. Previous exploration includes airborne gravity gradiometer and VTEM surveys, radon-in-water and in-soil surveys, lake sediment sampling, and detailed follow-up geochemical surveys. These efforts have identified multiple high-priority targets across the CBSZ.
尽管有强烈的放射性和基本金属地球化学指标，但该地区仍未得到充分的勘探。之前的勘探包括航空重力梯度计和VTEm调查、水和土壤中的氡调查、湖沉积物采样和详细的后续地球化学调查。这些工作已经在CBSZ区域确定了多个高优先级目标。

The Close Lake Uranium Project lies on the eastern side of the Athabasca Basin, adjoining claims held by Cameco Corporation, the largest uranium producer in the world. The claim is approximately 245 hectares and lies within the primary exploration corridor, which hosts the Keys Lake Mine, the Cigar Lake Mine, and the McArthur River Mine. Access to the property is done through a network of roads and trails.
Close Lake Uranium Project位于Athabasca盆地的东部，靠近全球最大的铀生产商Cameco Corporation持有的权利，该权利约为245公顷，位于主要勘探走廊内，包括Keys Lake Mine，Cigar Lake Mine和McArthur River Mine。通过一系列道路和小径可以进入该物业。
The Ubiquity Lake Uranium Project, covering 1382 hectares, lies just south of the bottom lip of the Athabasca Basin, adjacent to ALX Uranium's Carpenter Lake Project to the east. Situated near the Cable Bay Shear Zone, parallel to the Virgin River Shear Zone, which hosts Cameco's Centennial uranium deposit, the project holds immense potential. Furthermore, it is located 100 km west of Cameco's past-producing Key Lake uranium mine, underscoring the strategic significance of its location.
普遍湖铀矿项目覆盖面积为1382公顷，位于Athabasca盆地的底部边缘，在东部与ALX Uranium's Carpenter Lake项目毗邻。该项目位于Cable Bay Shear带附近，与Virgin River Shear带平行，后者为Cameco的Centennial铀矿床所在地。该项目有巨大的潜力，此外，它位于Cameco过去生产铀的Key Lake铀矿以西100公里，凸显出其位置的战略重要性。
The Sheppard Lake Uranium Project covers an area of approximately 2250 hectares and adjoins the Ubiquity Lake Project to the southeast. The project area is characterized by rocks of the Mudjatik domain, where uranium mineralization is typically basement-hosted, situated within shears or faults, and formed through hydrothermal redistributions of dissolved metals and subsequent redox reactions.
Sheppard Lake铀项目占地约2250公顷，位于Ubiquity Lake项目的东南侧。 该项目 该地区的岩石属于穆吉提克岩系，铀矿化一般是底盘为主体，位于断层或剪切带内，并通过热液溶解金属的重分配和随后的氧化还原反应形成。
