Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 14, 2024) - Bayridge Resources Corp. (CSE: BYRG) (OTC Pink: BYRRF) (FSE: O0K) ("Bayridge" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the engagement of Geotech Ltd. to undertake a helicopter supported VTEM survey on its 11,142 ha Constellation uranium project in Canada's Athabasca Basin region.
"This will be the first modern VTEM survey ever flown at Constellation," commented President & CEO, Saf Dhillon. "The GeoTech survey is designed to delineate and define basement-hosted uranium targets across the large property. Recent basement-hosted uranium success by NexGen Energy Ltd. well to the south of the sedimentary cover has generated considerable excitement and activity in the area, which should bode well for additional new discoveries," he continued.
The Constellation property has favourable geology for basement-hosted unconformity-style uranium deposits. The regional geology and magnetics have defined structural lineaments trending NNW and ESE, which could represent structural conduits between the Archean granite inlier and graphitic metasediments that have been mapped on the property. These types of structural zones typically act as pathways for hydrothermal activity. Historical NE-trending conductors have also been outlined on the property, but are under-explored and un-drilled. Strong EM conductors are proven targets associated with unconformity and basement-hosted uranium mineralization in and around the Athabasca Basin.
The 2024 VTEM survey on the Constellation Property will assist in delineating the location and trend of graphitic and/or hydrothermally altered zones. The results from the VTEM survey will define future exploration targets such as:
-
Discrete conductive anomalies that could represent fault-controlled graphitic zones; and
-
Fault zones and/or other structures that could control the pathways for uranium mineralization.
Bayridge is earning up to an 80% interest in Constellation through a series of cash payments, share issuances and exploration expenditures over the next 4 years. Constellation is located 60 km southwest of the Key Lake Mine, and is accessible via helicopter or float plane, with potential winter road access from Highway 914.
