Kraken Energy Identifies Multiple Additional Priority Drill Targets At Garfield Hills Uranium Property, Nevada Kraken Energy Corp. report that a high-resolution Unmanned Aerial Vehicle supported magnetic and radiometric survey conducted at the past-producing Garfield Hills Uranium Property and surrounding land package in west-central Nevada, USA, has successfully identified multiple additional priority drilling targets. The UAV surveys use technology to produce high-resolution data critical for identifying radiometric anomalies and geophysical signatures used in targeting new zones of uranium mineralization. The airborne surveys were conducted by MWH Geo-Surveys using a Geometrics MagArrow Cesium Magnetometer and a D230A UAV Gamma-Ray Spectrometer flown under a Watts Innovation Prism X8 axial quadcopter. Follow-up ground truthing, using a handheld Radiation Solutions RS-125 spectrometer, was completed over the areas of interest outlined by the airborne surveys. Tillkännagivande • Jan 20
Kraken Energy Reports Positive Soil Sampling Results At Apex Uranium Property, Nevada Kraken Energy Corp. reported on soil sampling results from the Apex Uranium Property ("Apex" or "the Property") located in Lander County, Central Nevada,USA. Program Result Highlights: 91 samples returning results of 50 parts per million ("ppm") uranium ("U") or greater; 26 samples ranging from 0.05 to 1.71 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au"); 38 samples ranging from 1.0 to 23.5 g/t silver ("Ag"); 52 samples ranging from 503 to 1801 ppm nickel ("Ni"); 60 samples ranging from 101 to 612 ppm copper ("Cu"). This soil sampling program was conducted to evaluate the surface extension of mineralization and the correlation of uranium with gold, silver, nickel, and copper. In addition to showing a strong correlation between uranium and both precious and base metals, the program has also validated the results of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle ("UAV") radiometric survey completed in November 2022, indicating its viability for identifying and exploring additional radiometric anomalies on the Property. A total of 987 samples (including QA/QC samples) with variable sample spacing were collected over an area roughly 1.0 by 0.6 kilometres and included 91 samples returning results of 50 ppm U or greater. Uranium values in soil ranged from 0.97 ppm to 610.00 ppm. The high end of this range is considered strongly anomalous, being almost 470 times enriched compared to average continental crust (1.3 ppm U - Rudnick & Gao, 2003). The highest values of uranium in soils coincide very well with the anomalies outlined in the recently completed UAV radiometric survey. Due to the strong correlation between the airborne radiometrics and the soil sample assay results, the Company plans to conduct additional soil sampling surveys in the summer of 2023 focused over the anomalies discovered using the 2022 airborne UAV surveys.

Kraken Energy Corp. Stakes Past-Producing Huber Hills Uranium Project in Nevada Kraken Energy Corp. announced that it has staked mining claims encompassing the Huber Hills Uranium Project (‘Huber Hills’ or ‘the Project’) in Elko County, Nevada. The Huber Hill property comprises 129 unpatented lode mineral claims covering approximately 1,044 hectares (2,580 acres) and is located near Mountain City, north of California Creek in Elko County, Nevada. The mineral claims encompass the historic Race Track uranium mine, and the Autunite and October uranium showings, plus numerous molybdenum prospects. The Race Track Mine was the largest producer of uranium during the 1950s and 1960s in Elko County, producing nearly 10,000 pounds of U3O8 from ore grading 0.24%. A recent sampling program completed within the historic Race Track Mine open pit by the project's previous operator, Samba Gold Inc. in 2007, consisted of two adjacent 4.5 metre (14.9 feet) channel samples from an exposed bentonitic tuff found in the best developed part of the historic pit, returned results of 0.149% and 0.102% U3O8. Accessibility: The Huber Hills Project is located roughly 2.0 kilometres (1.2 miles) east of Mountain City, Nevada and is accessible year-round from Elko, Nevada via all-weather highway 225. The Project is believed to cover the western portion of the Mountain West Property, formerly owned by Bayswater Uranium (Kilgore Minerals Co.), which is located 8 kilometres (5 miles) east of the small village of Mountain City. This property was explored between 1967 and 1983 by Pathfinder Mines (owned by Cogema) and its predecessor Utah Construction and Mining Co. and, according to Baywater press releases, 359 holes were drilled to depths of up to 82 metres (270 feet) and an historic resource of approximately 1.1 million pounds U3O8 with an average grade of 0.153% U3O8 was defined. Geological Information: There are two general types of uranium deposits on the claim groups: one type occurs along vertical fractures and/or shear zones in quartz monzontie (Autunite and October Prospects), while the other type of deposit is related to the contact zone between the underlying Cretaceous quartz monzonite and the overlying Tertiary volcanic sediments. At the Race Track Mine, an apparent basal tuffaceous layer has also been described as a shear zone separating the quartz monzonite from the granite. The Autunite and October prospects are developed in a near vertical shear zone in the quartz monzonite. Tillkännagivande • Dec 07
