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.
溫哥華，不列顛哥倫比亞省，2024年8月12日 (全球新聞通訊社) -- Bedford金屬公司。 （TSX-V：BFm，FWB：O8D，ISIN：CA0762301012）(以下簡稱「公司」或「Bedford」)非常高興地宣佈，其Sheppard Lake鈾項目的VNIR(可見近場紅外線)和SWIR(短波紅外線)衛星勘探結果，該項目毗鄰Ubiquity Lake鈾項目，位於薩斯喀徹溫省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.
由應用數學博士Neil Pendock博士進行的統計分析成功識別出多個積極因素。特別是識別出的甲烷氣體，據信是由改性粘土，特別是伊利石產生的。這一發現的意義重大，因爲Athabasca盆地的不整合型鈾礦牀常與產生伊利石的熱液事件相關聯。
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.
調查揭示了一系列離散的甲烷異常，與一條向西北走向的斷層相關，其南端終止於Ubiquity湖權利要求上的TZ1異常。此外，氫氣也被注意到，強烈附着在向西北走向的斷層上。這一趨勢導致勘探走廊輪廓的確定，其長度約爲8公里，寬度爲1.5公里。該走廊將成爲2024年現場工作調查的首要方向。
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的總裁說：“我們很高興邁出發展Ubiquity Lake鈾礦項目的下一步。勘探許可證的申請是我們的團隊經過精心規劃和勤勉工作的集大成之作。我們相信，該勘探計劃的時機與人們對鈾需求的不斷增加及全球對可持續能源解決方案的關注完美契合。Bedford評論稱，「Sheppard Lake的衛星調查結果令人鼓舞。 識別出的關鍵甲烷和氫異常沿西北走向的斷層，爲我們提供了明確的勘探重點。 我們對開始在這個新確定的走廊進行田野調查並建立這些有前途的發現感到興奮。」
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：地域板塊靠近ALX資源公司的卡本特湖鈾礦項目。該項目位於Cable Bay剪切帶(CBSZ)沿着Virgin河剪切帶平行的地帶，它是Cameco的Centennial鈾礦牀的宿主。它距Cameco的過去生產的Key Lake鈾礦和Centennial鈾礦牀分別有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.
主要岩石包括花崗岩片麻岩和花崗岩偉晶岩，較少的雲母片巖、頁岩和散佈的輝長岩脈。CBSZ由三條平行的電磁導體軸線勾勒而成，表明是石墨或富含硫化物的岩石的導電板的頂板、底板和中部。該項目位於地下不整合型鈾礦牀附近，類似於Millennium、Eagle Point和P-Patch礦牀。
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.
儘管有強烈的放射性和基本金屬地球化學指標，但該地區仍未得到充分的勘探。之前的勘探包括航空重力梯度計和VTEm調查、水和土壤中的氡調查、湖沉積物採樣和詳細的後續地球化學調查。這些工作已經在CBSZ區域確定了多個高優先級目標。

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位於Athabasca盆地的東部，靠近全球最大的鈾生產商Cameco Corporation持有的權利，該權利約爲245公頃，位於主要勘探走廊內，包括Keys Lake Mine，Cigar Lake Mine和McArthur River Mine。通過一系列道路和小徑可以進入該物業。
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.
普遍湖鈾礦項目覆蓋面積爲1382公頃，位於Athabasca盆地的底部邊緣，在東部與ALX Uranium's Carpenter Lake項目毗鄰。該項目位於Cable Bay Shear帶附近，與Virgin River Shear帶平行，後者爲Cameco的Centennial鈾礦牀所在地。該項目有巨大的潛力，此外，它位於Cameco過去生產鈾的Key Lake鈾礦以西100公里，凸顯出其位置的戰略重要性。
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鈾項目佔地約2250公頃，位於Ubiquity Lake項目的東南側。 該項目 該地區的岩石屬於穆吉提克巖系，鈾礦化一般是底盤爲主體，位於斷層或剪切帶內，並通過熱液溶解金屬的重分配和隨後的氧化還原反應形成。
