Azincourt Within A Practical Discovery Timeline For Uranium As Microsoft Implements Nuclear Strategy To Power AI Growth

Posted by Paul Nanuwa at 3:21 PM on Friday, April 5th, 2024

“If you’re hunting for a uranium deposit, this is what you need to see … we continue to be well within a practical discovery timeline.” (Azincourt Energy CEO, Alex Klenman)

If you believe in the future of renewable energy, then you are going to love this interview with Azincourt Energy because CEO Alex Klenman has been forecasting the rising price of Uranium ever since we started interviewing him. The price has moved from around $50/lb to over $100/lb and now stands at $87/lb.

This surge in uranium prices can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, after a decade-long slump, uranium prices are on the rise thanks to a global shift in support for nuclear energy and subsequent rising demand.

Additionally, uranium funds are raising hundreds of millions of dollars to buy uranium.

MONSTROUS GROWTH OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE DRIVING DEMAND FOR NUCLEAR

However, the biggest “X Factor” that very few anticipated just 2 years ago, is the massive demand for energy being created by Artificial Intelligence.

The staggering growth of AI is driving demand for the power that only uranium and nuclear energy can deliver.

How staggering?

1.  Over the past decade, the amount of computing power used to develop AI models has amplified by a factor of 10 billion (yes BILLION, that is not a typo)

2.  And it isn’t stopping, with the amount of computing power needed to train AI is now doubling every six months.

EVEN MICROSOFT IS PLANNING FOR A NUCLEAR FUTURE

To meet the energy demands of AI, companies like Microsoft are hiring nuclear technology program managers to implement global Small Modular Reactor (SMR) and microreactor energy strategies.

LOCATED AMONG THE WORLD’S LEADING SOURCE OF HIGH-GRADE URANIUM 

Azincourt Energy controls a majority 86.1% interest in the 20,000+ hectare East Preston Uranium project, located in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, which is the world’s leading source of high-grade uranium and currently supplies over 20% of the world’s uranium.

The company has invested over CDN$3 million in exploration expenditures on the East Preston Project over the past three years. CEO Alex Klenman emphasizes that significant uranium discoveries in the Athabasca Basin, such as McArthur River, Key Lake, and Millennium, were primarily the result of drill testing of strong alteration zones related to conductor features, indicating promising prospects for East Preston.

2024 DRILL PROGRAM HAS BEGUN

Mobilization of equipment and crew has begun, with a focus on up to 1,500 meters of drilling across five holes. Trevor Perkins, VP Exploration, reiterates the significance of the 2024 drill targets, stating “Following up the clay alteration in the K- and H- Zones is a high priority. This alteration is what would be expected where a uranium deposit is present.”

AT THE FOREFRONT OF UNCOVERING THE NEXT FRONTIER OF URANIUM RESOURCES 

With a strategic focus on high-potential targets and a comprehensive exploration approach, Azincourt Energy has the potential to uncover substantial uranium resources in the Athabasca Basin. Watch this powerful interview with Azincourt Energy CEO Alex Klenman to learn more.

Liberty Star’s CEO James A. Briscoe Updates the Hay Mountain Project $LBSR.us

  • Drillers are on standby and the necessary paperwork is in hand
  • Company wants to get to Hay Mountain Drill Target One ASAP

TUCSON, AZ–(June 23, 2016) – Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (“Liberty Star” or the “Company”) (OTCBB: LBSR) (OTC PINK: LBSR) is pleased to announce that Company CEO/Chief Geologist James A. Briscoe summarized exploration activity at the Hay Mountain Project over the weekend. The “Update on the Hay Mountain Project” was originally posted on the Liberty Star website on June 18 and shared on Agoracom.com that day.

Comments Mr. Briscoe: “While nothing in the update is brand new, it summarizes what we have found using well-established practices and new technologies in mining exploration. Our methodology offers reaffirming conclusions through different practices. In other words, we started with geochem as a baseline for finding targets which was confirmed and refined through geology, geophysics (ZTEM) and surface x-ray fluorescence (XRF instrumentation). It is my hope that the update clarifies our methodologies and conclusions. To that end, included in this summary are Internet links to various data that can also be found on our web site.

From CEO James A. Briscoe: Update on the Hay Mountain Project (Published June 18, 2016)

This is an exciting time for Liberty Star. I am ready, our field manager, Jay Crawford, is ready, the drillers are on standby and the necessary paperwork is in hand. We want to get to Hay Mountain Drill Target One ASAP.

As we have stated in numerous public reports, the data from geochem, geophysics and fieldwork with x-ray fluorescence for the Hay Mountain Project has been gathered and analyzed by me and other geosciences experts. I want to summarize and explain in simple terms what we have found and have reported previously:

  1. A viable target is indicated by our multiple geoscientific studies from the air and on the ground. This has been verified by independent geoscientists and follows the Lowell-Guilbert porphyry copper model.
  2. The presence of silicification and brecciated (broken) silicified limestone with leached capping, as well as breccia pipes with fluidized rounded clasts (fragments), characteristic of all porphyry coppers, but were unknown to the area prior to our fieldwork in the fall of 2015. These outcrops are occurring in the main porphyry copper alteration zone mapped according to the geochemical and geophysical studies.
  3. As recently as October/November 2015, field work with an x-ray fluorescence instrument (Niton XL3t Goldd+ XRF Analyzer from Thermo Fisher Scientific) has found high grade pods of copper oxide (malachite) emanating from oxidized chalcopyrite (“Recent Field Work at Hay Mtn Project,” 09/24/2015), which is the normal copper sulfide mineral in porphyry copper bodies in this region over the area where previously derived geochemical highs exist. Such surface covers about two linear miles where there is outcrop.
  4. We believe this disseminated copper is actually the top of the porphyry copper mineral body as detected by geochem and geophysics — and the geophysics trace it downward to approximately 6,000 feet below the current surface. We interpret it is the low-grade upper part of our target that is outcropping.
  5. Gold — Because the Lowell-Guilbert porphyry copper model was tested and verified on numerous porphyry copper deposits throughout the world, we know the center metals of the model and our terrain under study include iron (magnetite), potassium (as potassium feldspar) gold, and moly. Other disseminated metal rings form around the center. The following must be tested to be confirmed:
    1. We see the moly, lead and gold geochem values in vegetation at the porphyry center. It is possible the gold in the center could be occurring at the surface either as submicron (Carlin-style) or finely disseminated, but not submicron.
    2. Thus, gold could be minable at and/or near the surface and processed by heap leaching or other standard processes.

Because this is a hypothesis, it needs to be tested by drilling and sampling. This will be done, at least in part, by our planned drilling program. We have not yet ascertained whether the Hay Mountain land package possesses commercially viable deposits of copper, molybdenum, gold, silver, lead, zinc, manganese and other metals including rare earth elements, uranium and thorium but data to date suggests it does. We have not identified any ore reserves to date. We have no way of finding out any of this without drilling.”
