Foremost Clean Energy completes drill program at Hatchet Uranium

Foremost Clean Energy (FMST) completed a maiden winter drill program at the Hatchet Lake Uranium Property (“Hatchet”), which is located in the world-renowned Athabasca Basin region of northern Saskatchewan. The diamond drill program, originally planned as an 8-hole ~2,000 metre program, increased to 10-holes for over 2,400 metres following positive preliminary results from drill hole TF-25-16 – which discovered a new area of uranium mineralization highlighted by a mineralized interval of 0.10% eU3O8 over 6.5m, including 0.22% eU3O8 over 0.9m, within a 15m wide zone of alteration. Anomalous radioactivity was detected directly above and/or below the unconformity in six of the ten drill holes completed as part of the drill program: RL-25-32, TF-25-13, TF-25-16, TF-25-17, TF-25-18, and TF-25-19. Samples from the mineralized intersections in these drill holes have been submitted for assay and results are pending. A notable highlight from the completion of the drill program was the 50 metre extension of previous mineralization along the Richardson conductor with drill hole RL-25-32, which returned two discrete mineralized intervals. Jason Barnard, Foremost’s President and CEO commented, “Our immediate success at Hatchet is attributable to Foremost’s unique collaboration with Denison Mines, where Denison’s extensive historic work on the property has identified several prospective structural settings for the potential discovery of uranium mineralization. We are particularly excited about the result from drill hole TF-25-16, which was the first hole completed in a 600-meter gap in an under-explored target area, resulting in the discovery of a new area of uranium mineralized. Based on follow up drilling in this area we are seeing strong radioactivity within graphitic shear zones, classic Athabasca-style clay alteration, and evidence of multiple mineralization events – making this an exciting new discovery with many of the hallmarks of a high-grade unconformity system that is open in every direction. For our shareholders, these results validate our strategy and speak to the potential of Foremost’s ten uranium exploration properties under option from Denison: leveraging our strategic collaboration with Denison to make high-impact discoveries in one of the world’s premier uranium districts. As we await assays from Hatchet and plan further follow-up drilling, we’re equally excited to be able to apply the same exploration model across our portfolio, including expected upcoming drill programs at CLK and Murphy Lake South.”
