Bayridge Resources Drilling Update at Waterbury East Project

In This Article:

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 19, 2024) - Bayridge Resources Corp. (CSE: BYRG) (OTCQB: BYRFF) (FSE: O0k) ("Bayridge") has completed the fall 2024 drilling program at its 1,337 ha Waterbury East uranium project in Canada's Athabasca Basin. Six holes totaling 2,721 metres tested multiple targets between September 26th and November 6th, 2024.

"We are very pleased with our initial 2024 drill program, which largely focussed on two key target areas: WAT005 and the 2024 VTEM conductor," commented Bayridge President & CEO Saf Dhillon. "Zones of elevated counts per second, varying concentrations of graphite, shearing, faulting and alteration make this phase of drilling a strong success and definitely warrant a follow-up drill program in the new year," he continued. "Samples from the first two holes are at the lab and results will be released as they are received and QA/QC'd," he concluded.

The objective of the 2024 diamond drill program was to follow-up historic anomalous uranium results from the 2005-2007 drill campaign completed by CanAlaska Uranium and test conductors and prospective structures outlined by the 2024 VTEM-Mag helicopter-borne geophysical survey completed by Geotech Ltd. All of the drill holes completed during the 2024 program were probed in 0.10m increments in both the up and down direction, with a Mount Sopris 2SNA-1000-S Spectral Gamma probe which records total count per second (CPS). Zones of elevated counts were recorded in 5 out 6 holes.

Drill holes WB24001, WB24002 and WB24004 followed up on the historic intersection of 324 ppm uranium over 0.6m in drill hole WAT005, testing the strike extension to the NE and the SW and also testing the up-dip extension. Elevated CPS were recorded at the unconformity and also + 70 metres further downhole in a chlorite-biotite altered psammitic gneiss carrying 1-2% disseminated pyrite in hole WB24001 drilled to the NE. Elevated CPS were recorded 20m downhole from the unconformity straddling the contact between a granitic gneiss and an altered graphitic pelitic gneiss, and a further 75m downhole in a chloritized semi-pelitic gneiss in WB24002 drilled to the SW. WB24004 was drilled up-dip and recorded elevated CPS + 55m downhole from the unconformity in a ductile and brittle sericite-clay altered graphitic fault zone host to trace arsenopyrite and pyrite.
