Bayridge Resources Commences Drilling at Waterbury East Project
Rhea-AI Summary
Bayridge Resources Corp. (CSE: BYRG) has initiated its fall 2024 drilling program at the Waterbury East uranium project in Canada's Athabasca Basin. The program includes:
- 2,100 metres of drilling
- 4 to 6 holes targeting multiple areas
- Follow-up on the best intersection from 2006/2007
- Guided by spring 2024 VTEM survey results
The project covers 1,337 ha and is located 25 km northeast of the Cigar Lake Mine. Bayridge has an option to earn up to 80% interest from CanAlaska Uranium Previous drilling in 2006/2007 reported 17.0 m of anomalous basement-hosted uranium enrichment, with a highlight value of 324 ppm U over 0.6 m. The program is expected to last 30 to 45 days with results anticipated in Q4 2024.
Positive
- Fully-funded drilling program of 2,100 metres
- Strategic location near Cigar Lake Mine in the Athabasca Basin
- Option to earn up to 80% interest in the project
- Previous drilling showed promising uranium enrichment
Negative
- Historical results not verified by Bayridge
- Depth to unconformity of ~200m may present exploration challenges
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 2, 2024) - Bayridge Resources Corp. (CSE: BYRG) ("Bayridge") has commenced its fall 2024 drilling program at its 1,337 ha Waterbury East uranium project in Canada's Athabasca Basin. This phase of drilling will total 2,100 metres and consist of 4 to 6 holes, testing multiple targets.
"Our fully-funded fall 2024 program is the first drilling at Waterbury East since 2007," commented President and CEO, Saf Dhillon. "We will be following up on the best intersection from 2006/2007, guided by the spring 2024 VTEM survey, as well as testing target areas along the VTEM conductor," he continued. "We anticipate a 30 to 45 day program with results expected later in Q4," he concluded.
VTEM interpretation by in3D Geoscience suggests 2006/2007 drilling of the VTEM conductor was actually short of the conductor and also the strength of the conductor may be stronger than previously thought.
CanAlaska Uranium Ltd. ("CanAlaska") reported encouraging results from the 2006/2007 drill program, with an intersection of 17.0 m of anomalous basement-hosted uranium enrichment, containing a highlight value of 324 ppm U over 0.6 m in a structurally controlled zone in DDH-WAT005. *Readers are cautioned that Bayridge has not verified these historical results.
The Waterbury East project is underlain by geology favourable to hosting both unconformity-hosted and basement-hosted uranium deposits. These deposits are typically associated with graphitic metasediments and structural zones that exhibit strong EM conductor responses. Historical airborne EM surveys have defined an ENE-striking conductor across the property, with a depth to unconformity of ~200m. Most of the uranium discoveries in the Athabasca Basin are concentrated along the unconformity edge, where the sedimentary cover is the thinnest (<300m).

About Bayridge Resources Corp.
Bayridge Resources Corp. is a green energy company advancing its portfolio of Canadian uranium and lithium projects. The 1,337 ha Waterbury East project is located 25 km northeast of the Cigar Lake Mine in the northeastern Athabasca Basin region. Geophysical surveys have identified a 7km long conductivity corridor where mid-2000's drilling highlighted faulted and altered basement rock with local uranium enrichment. Large sections of this corridor remain untested. The 11,142 ha Constellation project is located 60 km south of the present-day Athabasca Basin edge in an area of significant exploration activity for basement hosted uranium. Historic airborne radiometric, electromagnetic, and magnetic surveys identified electromagnetic conductors associated with magnetic lows. The 4,413 ha Sharp Lake project, located in the Red Lake Mining District of Northern Ontario, hosts peraluminous S-type muscovite bearing pegmatite bearing granites in contact with metasediments. Preliminary sampling has highlighted anomalous rare-element values, potentially indicative of lithium mineralization.
