Basin Uranium Engages BRS Engineering to Complete Resource for Chord Project
VANCOUVER, B.C. CANADA – NOVEMBER 29, 2023 – BASIN URANIUM CORP. (CSE: NCLR) (CNSX: NCLR.CN) (“Basin Uranium” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has engaged BRS Engineering (“BRS”) to complete a maiden NI 43-101 Resource Estimate (the “Resource”) for its flagship Chord Uranium Project (the “Property”) in South Dakota, USA. The Property is comprised of 3,677 contiguous acres and located approximately 5 miles southwest of enCore Energy Corp.’s (EU-NYSEAM) Dewey-Burdock development project. The Project has seen extensive historical drilling with over 1,000 holes drilled primarily by Union Carbide Corp. and is host to a significant historical resource (see March 3, 2023 press release). The Company has acquired all of the relevant historical exploration and drilling data which will be used by BRS to compile a resource, evaluate potential extraction methods, and guide future exploration.
“In the short time since acquiring the project, we have amassed a significant historical data set for Chord and the surrounding region in addition to expanding the claims to encompass the potential down gradient extension of mineralization from the October Jinx” commented Mike Blady, CEO of Basin Uranium. “The next logical step for us is to both bring the resource to a current NI 43-101 standard and evaluating the resource from an in-situ recovery or ISR perspective. The majority of domestic uranium production is done through ISR which presents a much more environmentally friendly and less invasive production method.”
