Azincourt Energy has acquired options on the Harrier Uranium Project in Labrador's Central Mineral Belt, expanding its footprint to 49,400 hectares. The project features 12 zones of uranium mineralization, with impressive sample results up to 7.48% U3O8.
Key highlights include high-grade uranium discoveries across multiple prospects: Fish Hawk North (5.08%), Brook (4.86%), Moran Heights (7.48%), and several other promising locations. Only 89 holes totaling 9,834m have been drilled previously, suggesting significant exploration potential.
The acquisition terms involve staged payments over multiple years, including cash payments totaling $250,000, share issuances, and exploration expenditure commitments of $4 million. The project is strategically located near significant uranium resources, including Paladin Energy's Michelin Project (127.7Mlbs U3O8) and other notable deposits in this world-class uranium district.
Azincourt Energy (TSXV: AAZ, OTCQB: AZURF) welcomes the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission's approval for Ontario Power Generation to build Canada's first small modular reactor (SMR) at the Darlington Nuclear Generation Station. The project, featuring a BWRX-300 SMR, will be the first in any G7 country.
The plan includes up to four 327-megawatt SMRs capable of powering approximately 900,000 homes with zero-emissions electricity. This development aligns with Canada's nuclear energy expansion, including Nova Scotia's recent lifting of its 45-year uranium exploration ban and federal funding of CAD$74 million for SMR development in Saskatchewan.
The International Energy Agency projects global electricity consumption to rise 4% annually to 2027. To meet net-zero emissions targets by 2050, Canada may need to build 85 SMRs according to RBC. The government has also committed up to $304 million for modernizing CANDU reactors, supporting Canada's position as the world's second-largest uranium producer.
Azincourt Energy (OTCQB: AZURF) has announced plans for exploration activities at its East Preston uranium project in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin. The company will conduct a geophysical program in fall 2025, including a potential radon flux survey of the K- and H-Zones, followed by a winter 2026 diamond drilling program of up to 1,500 meters across 5 holes.
The planned budget for these programs is C$1.7-2 million. The project, in which Azincourt holds an 86.5% interest, spans 21,000 hectares and features three conductive corridors with a total strike length exceeding 25 km. The exploration will focus on following up on clay alteration zones with elevated uranium identified in 2023/2024.
The East Preston project targets basement-hosted unconformity uranium deposits, similar to NexGen's Arrow deposit and Cameco's Eagle Point mine. The company has secured permits through summer 2026 and maintains active engagement with local communities, particularly the Clearwater River Dene Nation.
Azincourt Energy (OTCQB: AZURF) has secured permits for exploration at its newly acquired Snegamook Uranium Project in Newfoundland and Labrador's Central Mineral Belt. The project, comprising 17 contiguous claims over 423 hectares, is located near the historical Two Time Zone deposit.
Historical drilling revealed four mineralized uranium lenses with grades up to 0.11% U3O8, traced over 300 meters strike length and 200 meters depth. The shallow-dipping lenses vary in width from 5 to 53 meters, with values ranging from 225 to 771 ppm U3O8.
The company's 2025 work program includes:
- Site reconnaissance and historical core review
- Up to 1,000 meters of helicopter-supported diamond drilling
- Operations based from Happy Valley - Goose Bay
Azincourt Energy (TSXV: AAZ, OTCQB: AZURF) has completed data acquisition and compilation for its Snegamook uranium project in Newfoundland and Labrador. The project, covering 423 hectares across 17 contiguous claims, contains known uranium mineralization and is strategically located near major uranium discoveries.
Historical drilling (2006-2008) by Silver Spruce Resources revealed multiple uranium mineralization lenses over a 300-metre strike length and 200-metre vertical depth, with grades ranging from 225 to 771 ppm U3O8. Notable higher-grade zones include 0.11% U3O8 over 3m. Four mineralized lenses were identified, with widths varying from 5 to 53 meters.
The company plans to verify and expand historical mineralization through a new drill program, aiming to establish an initial resource estimate. The project is positioned less than 1 km south of the Two Time Zone and near the Michelin deposit in Labrador's Central Mineral Belt.
