Kraken Energy Commences Drilling Program at Flagship Apex Uranium Property, Nevada
Priority Drill Targets Significantly Expand the Mineralized Trend Along Strike from the Past-Producing High-Grade Uranium Apex Mine
優先鑽探目標顯著擴大了過去生產的高品位鈾頂點礦的走向沿線的礦化趨勢
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 15, 2023) - Kraken Energy Corp. (CSE: UUSA) (OTCQB: UUSAF) (the "Company" or "Kraken Energy") is pleased to report that it has commenced the inaugural drill program at its 100%-owned, past-producing flagship Apex Uranium Property ("Apex" or the "Property") located in central Nevada.
不列顛哥倫比亞省溫哥華--（新聞文件公司-2023 年 11 月 15 日）- Kraken Energy Corp.（CSE：UUSA）（場外交易代碼：UUSAF）（“公司” 或 “Kraken Energy”） 很高興地報告，它已在其位於內華達州中部的100％持股、過去生產的旗艦Apex鈾礦業（“Apex” 或 “地產”）開始了首個鑽探計劃。
The 2,200-meter ("m") drilling program will target a mineralized area over 2 kilometers ("km") in strike length consisting of two separate target areas immediately along strike from the past-producing Apex Mine. The Company has received approval to initially drill up to 2,200 m (7,217 ft) in 24 holes from 8 pads.
2,200米（“m”）的鑽探計劃將瞄準一個走向長度超過2千米（“km”）的礦化區域，該區域由兩個獨立的目標區域組成，緊鄰過去生產的Apex礦山。該公司已獲得批准，可以最初在8個鑽孔的24個鑽孔中鑽出長達2,200米（7,217英尺）的鑽孔。
"We are very excited to begin drilling at Apex, where historic drilling features results of up to 34.1 m (112 ft) at 0.37% U3O8 and 15.2 m (50 ft) at 0.51% U3O8," stated Matthew Schwab, CEO of Kraken. "With radon anomalies now over 5 times larger than the footprint of the Apex Mine, our team is confident in the priority targets outlined for this maiden drilling program on the property."
Kraken首席執行官馬修·施瓦布表示：“我們非常高興能在Apex開始鑽探，那裏的歷史鑽探結果顯示，U3O8含量高達34.1米（112英尺），U3O8含量高達15.2米（50英尺），U3O8含量爲0.51％。”“由於氡異常現在是Apex礦佔地面積的5倍以上，我們的團隊對該物業的首次鑽探計劃概述的優先目標充滿信心。”
Highlights:
亮點：
Priority drill targets over strong radon anomalies coincide with geophysical signatures outlining the mineralized contact at the historic Apex Uranium Mine.
The BLM has approved permit to drill up to 2,200 m (7,217 ft) in 24 holes from 8 pads.
Interpretation of the recently flown VTEM and UAV magnetic surveys shows a geophysical signature associated with uranium mineralization at the Apex Mine that appears to be offset to the north where it continues trending northwest. This geophysical signature coincides with strong and consistent, recently identified radon anomalies.
Over 2 km of new high priority target potential has been identified on the recently staked BLM ground that follows the northwest mineralized trend from the Apex Mine.
Newly defined and previously undrilled target area with projected target depths ranging from 50 m to 200 m (164 ft to 656 ft).
針對強烈的氡異常的優先鑽探目標與概述歷史悠久的Apex鈾礦礦的礦化接觸點的地球物理特徵相吻合。
BLM 已批准許可，可從 8 個墊層鑽入 24 個孔，鑽出最長 2,200 米（7,217 英尺）的鑽孔。
對最近進行的VTEM和UAV磁力調查的解釋顯示，與Apex礦的鈾礦化有關的地球物理特徵似乎被北方所抵消，並繼續向西北移動。這種地球物理特徵與最近發現的強烈而一致的氡異常相吻合。
在最近投放的BLM地上已經確定了超過2公里的新高優先目標潛力，該地塊遵循Apex礦的西北礦化趨勢。
新定義和之前未鑽探的目標區域，預計目標深度從 50 米到 200 米（164 英尺到 656 英尺）不等。

About the Apex Property:
關於Apex房產：
The Apex Uranium Mine was Nevada's largest past-producing uranium mine which produced ~106,000 pounds of U3O8 in the 1950s at an average mining grade of ~0.25% U3O8. Historic drilling results include results of up to 3.1 m (10 ft) at 1.33% U3O8, 34.1 m (112 ft) at 0.37% U3O8 and 15.2 m (50 ft) at 0.51% U3O8.
Apex鈾礦是內華達州過去生產的最大鈾礦，生產了約10.6萬磅的鈾3O8 在 20 世紀 50 年代，平均採礦品位約爲 0.25% U3O8。歷史鑽探結果包括高達 3.1 米（10 英尺）的鑽探結果，鑽探結果爲 1.33%3O8，在 0.37% U 處爲 34.1 m（112 英尺）3O8 以及 0.51% U 處的 15.2 m（50 英尺）3O8。
