VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bedford Metals Corp. (TSX-V: BFM, FWB: O8D, ISIN: CA0762301012) (the "Company" or "Bedford") is pleased to announce it has engaged Grander Exploration to assist in the planning of a fall exploration program at the Ubiquity Lake Uranium project. The Company believes its strategic focus on uranium exploration and development is exceptionally well-timed, as nuclear power is poised to play a crucial role in greening the global power grid and meeting the substantial energy demands of rapidly advancing AI technologies.

温哥华,卑诗省,2024年9月2日(环球新闻)-- Bedford金属公司。 (TSX-V: BFm, FWB: O8D, ISIN: CA0762301012)("公司"或"Bedford")很高兴地宣布已聘请Grander Exploration协助筹划Ubiquity Lake铀项目的秋季勘探计划。公司认为其对铀勘探和开发的战略重点具有异常时机意义,因为核电有望在绿化全球电网和满足快速发展的人工智能技术的巨大能源需求方面发挥至关重要的作用。

Recognizing the timeliness, Bedford is advancing its next exploration plans at Ubiquity Lake. The Company is preparing for another exploration program in the coming weeks, with final details to be determined once the assay results from the recent sampling are received. This upcoming program aims to further explore and define the potential of the Ubiquity Lake project.

认识到时机的重要性, Bedford 正在推进Ubiquity Lake的下一步勘探计划。公司正准备在未来几周开展另一项勘探计划,具体细节将在最近采样结果出来后确定。这项即将来临的计划旨在进一步探索和定义Ubiquity Lake项目的潜力。

A recent article by The New York Times on August 23, 2024, by Delger Erdenesanaa, highlighted the immense electricity consumption projected for AI in the coming years. The article notes, "OpenAI's ChatGPT exploded onto the scene nearly a year ago, reaching an estimated 100 million users in two months and setting off an A.I. boom. Behind the scenes, the technology relies on thousands of specialized computer chips. And in the coming years, they could consume immense amounts of electricity." The analysis estimated that by 2027, new AI servers could require between 85 to 134 terawatt hours (TWh) annually, comparable to the yearly electricity use of countries like Argentina or Sweden.

纽约时报2024年8月23日的一篇文章,作者是Delger Erdenesanaa,强调了未来几年人工智能的巨大用电量。文章指出:“OpenAI的ChatGPt在将近一年前突然出现,两个月内就达到了大约一亿用户,引发了人工智能热潮。在幕后,这项技术依赖于数千个专用计算机芯片。未来几年,它们可能会消耗极大的电力。”分析估计,在2027年,新的人工智能服务器每年可能需要85至134太瓦时(TWh)电力,相当于阿根廷或瑞典等国家的年用电量。

As AI continues to integrate into daily life, the energy needed to power AI systems will become a significant factor in global electricity consumption. The article underscores that the source of this electricity—whether fossil fuels or renewable resources—will considerably impact global carbon emissions. Nuclear power, known for its reliability and low carbon footprint, is increasingly seen as a vital energy source that could support the growing demands of AI while contributing to the global transition to sustainable energy.

随着人工智能不断融入日常生活,为了满足人工智能系统的能源需求,所需的能源将成为全球电力消耗的一个重要因素。文章强调,电力的来源——无论是化石燃料还是可再生资源——将极大地影响全球碳排放。核电以其可靠性和低碳足迹而闻名,越来越被认为是一种重要的能源来源,可以满足人工智能的不断增长需求,并为全球可持续能源转型做出贡献。

Peter Born, President of Bedford, commented, "The explosion of AI and its associated energy demands further validate the growing need for reliable, low-carbon energy sources like nuclear power. Our focus on uranium exploration and development is not only timely but critical. As the world turns to nuclear power to meet both green energy goals and the rising electricity needs of AI technologies, we are strategically positioned to capitalize on these trends. The initial results from our recent exploration program at Ubiquity Lake have been promising, therefore we are commencing plans for a fall work program there."

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“AI的爆发及其对能源的需求进一步验证了像核电这样可靠、低碳的能源来源的不断增长需求。我们对铀的勘探和开发的关注不仅及时,而且至关重要。随着世界转向核电以满足绿色能源目标和人工智能技术对日益增长的电力需求,我们在战略上具备了利用这些趋势的位置。我们最近在Ubiquity湖进行的勘探计划初步结果令人鼓舞,因此我们将开始在那里进行秋季工作计划。”

Bedford remains committed to advancing our exploration and development projects in the Athabasca Basin, a region known for its high-grade uranium deposits. The recent developments in the energy market only strengthen our resolve to continue exploring these projects.

Bedford corp致力于推进我们在Athabasca块的勘探和开发项目。该地区以高品位铀矿床而闻名。能源市场的最新发展只会增强我们继续探索这些项目的决心。

Bedford conducts all exploration activities with a focus on environmental stewardship and in close collaboration with local communities and stakeholders. The Company's goal is to develop our projects responsibly and sustainably, ensuring that our operations benefit the regions in which we operate.

Bedford corp与当地社区和利益相关者紧密合作,以环保管理为重点进行所有勘探活动。公司的目标是负责任和可持续地开发我们的项目,确保我们的运营惠及所在地区。

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。
