Azincourt Energy Advances Drill Program at Snegamook Uranium Deposit and Greater Harrier Uranium Project
Azincourt Energy (OTCQB: AZURF) is planning a 2,000 m diamond drill program at the Harrier Project to confirm and expand the Snegamook uranium deposit and to advance an updated NI 43-101 compliant resource for Snegamook.
Historical drilling returned high-grade results including 0.974% U3O8 over 0.5 m, and surface sampling across the property yielded up to 7.48% U3O8 with >1% U3O8 in ten separate areas. The project covers 49,400 ha but has only 124 historical drill holes, leaving the area significantly underexplored. Azincourt's 2025 field program validated past drill sites and identified two new showings at Boiteau Lake and east of Anomaly 7 as high-priority drill targets.
Azincourt Energy (OTCQB: AZURF) sta pianificando un programma di perforazione a diamante di 2.000 m presso il Progetto Harrier per confermare ed espandere il deposito di uranio Snegamook e per avanzare una risorsa conforme a NI 43-101 aggiornata per Snegamook.
Le perforazioni storiche hanno fornito risultati ad alta intensità tra cui 0,974% U3O8 su 0,5 m, e i campionamenti superficiali lungo la proprietà hanno registrato fino a 7,48% U3O8 con >1% U3O8 in dieci aree diverse. Il progetto copre 49.400 ha ma ha solo 124 pozzi di perforazione storici, lasciando l'area significativamente poco esplorata. Il programma sul campo 2025 di Azincourt ha convalidato i siti di perforazione passati e identificato due nuove giacimenti a Boiteau Lake e ad est di Anomaly 7 come obiettivi di perforazione ad alta priorità.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 19, 2025) - AZINCOURT ENERGY CORP. (TSXV: AAZ) (OTCQB: AZURF) ("Azincourt" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that planning is underway for a diamond drilling program at the highly prospective Harrier Project in the Central Mineral Belt in Newfoundland & Labrador, Canada, that includes the Snegamook uranium deposit.
About the Harrier Project
Azincourt's Harrier Project covers 49,400 hectares over five distinct licence groups, representing one of the largest land positions in the Central Mineral Belt. The Harrier Project covers the Snegamook Uranium Deposit and straddles key uranium-bearing structural corridors directly adjacent to and on trend with Atha Energy's Moran Lake (9.6 Mlbs U₃O₈ and 11.8 Mlbs V₂O₅) and Anna Lake (4.9 Mlbs U₃O₈) deposits, and Paladin Energy's Michelin deposit (127.7 million lbs U₃O₈) - placing Azincourt at the center of a proven and growing uranium camp.
The Harrier Project, with over a dozen known uranium mineralization zones and surface rock samples grading up to
2025 Summer Work Program
The introductory work program was completed in late August (News release dated Oct 1, 2025) consisting of helicopter supported reconnaissance of existing identified uranium occurrences and prospecting of previously identified radiometric anomalies. Eleven previously identified uranium showings and the Snegamook Deposit were visited by Azincourt's VP Exploration to get an understanding of the characteristic and settings of the uranium mineralization present on the property. Two new uranium showings were identified in outcrop in the Boiteau Lake area and in boulders and outcrop east of the Anomaly 7 area. Assay sample results are still pending for these areas.
In the Snegamook Deposit area, the location of the drill core from the 2007-2008 exploration programs was confirmed at the old camp site used by Silver Spruce Resources. Much of the core is in decent shape considering it has been exposed to the elements for almost 20 years. Several drill holes that intersected the Snegamook Deposit mineralization and Snegamook Southeast showing were examined and a few samples were collected to confirm uranium grades. Reconnaissance of the deposit area was undertaken to examine ground conditions for future drilling and examine the old drill pads for confirmation of hole numbers, locations, and hole orientation. Many drill pads were easily recognizable and marked with casings. Metal tagged wooden posts were present at many sites allowing easy confirmation of the hole numbers.
2026 Diamond Drilling Program
The diamond drilling program currently being planned will consist of approximately 2,000 m of drilling in 6-10 drill holes. It is anticipated that the program will commence once the snow melts and lakes are ice free. The majority of the drilling will be conducted on the Snegamook Deposit; however, a number of holes will target the Boiteau Lake area in preparation for a larger program to follow (see Figure 2 for location within the Harrier Project).
Snegamook Deposit
A high priority target for diamond drilling is the Snegamook Uranium Deposit, where drilling in 2007 and 2008 to follow up a radon gas anomaly identified uranium mineralization located 1.3 km along strike to the southeast of the Two Time Zone (Indicated and Inferred resource of 5.55 Mlb U3O8, Silver Spruce Resources, June 2008). 17 drill holes intersected a 20 to 50 m wide section of uranium bearing brecciated and altered monzodiorite with moderate to strong chlorite, hematite and carbonate alteration, the same geological setting as the Two Time Zone. (Figures 3 and 4)
A review of existing sample data for the Snegamook Deposit was completed. Of note is that the best grade is encountered in hole SN-08-06, at
In 2008, a preliminary resource estimate for the Snegamook Zone was prepared by Silver Spruce Resources, however it was never finalized in a report or filed. Work to be conducted as part of the preliminary 2026 drill program will include:
- Rehabilitate and examine drill core from the Snegamook Deposit at the Kanairiktok core storage.
- Engage an independent QP to examine the available core and consult on additional drilling at the deposit as part of preparing a maiden resource estimate.
- Twin key drill holes at the deposit to confirm historical mineralization.
- Conduct additional drilling to expand the size of the existing deposit.
Diamond drilling and preparing an updated NI 43-101 compliant resource for this deposit will be a priority for Azincourt.
"We are excited to commence drilling in Labrador. There is no shortage of drill ready targets located on the Harrier Project," commented Trevor Perkins, Azincourt Energy's VP of Exploration. "Our priority is to confirm the historical results and begin an expansion of the Snegamook Deposit in preparation for a preliminary resource estimate for the deposit. At the same time, we want to advance other targets on the property to unlock the value this property contains," continued Mr. Perkins.

About the Central Mineral Belt
Labrador's Central Mineral Belt ("CMB") is one of Canada's most underexplored yet highly prospective uranium regions. Known for its numerous uranium and base metal deposits and showings, the CMB has seen renewed interest due to growing global demand for secure, domestic uranium supply as countries aim to increase nuclear power capacity to meet net-zero emissions goals.
The CMB hosts multiple large-scale uranium discoveries, including Paladin Energy's Michelin Uranium Project (127.7 million lbs U₃O₈), the Moran Lake C Deposit (historical resource of 9.6 Mlbs U₃O₈ and 11.8 Mlbs V₂O₅), and the Anna Lake Deposit (historical resource of 4.9 Mlbs U₃O₈). These known resources demonstrate the Belt's exceptional uranium endowment - but vast areas remain underexplored, with modern techniques only recently being applied across the region.
With its stable jurisdiction, historical high-grade discoveries, and modern exploration momentum, the CMB is emerging as one of North America's most exciting uranium exploration corridors.
