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.

VIDEO: Azincourt Energy – Potential Uranium Discovery with Radioactivity Identified in 800m Alteration Zone

Posted by AGORACOM at 4:29 AM on Friday, March 4th, 2022

Azincourt Energy is developing critical alternative energy projects for uranium and lithium. It’s core projects are in the clean energy space focusing on uranium exploration projects in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan.

More importantly they have 3rd party validation through institutional financing and ownership, to the tune of $8M+, and that is an important indicator to understanding a companies prospects. You need viable projects to attract funding, and in this case it is a large sum of money being devoted to a help Azincourt make a discovery.

They clearly have support.

Azincourt controls 70+% of the East Preston Uranium project located in the Athabasca basin in Saskatchewan that has numerous Uranium deposits, as well as mines operated by major mining companies. Saskatchewan has been a prolific jurisdiction for Uranium mining and production for 40+ years and contains 10 to 100 times the world average Uranium grades.
This makes finding an economic discovery feasible. That is part of the 3rd party validation that makes Azincourt compelling in the clean energy space.

Azincourt may have already justified the attention and investment received in advance of their current drill program as they just announced some very telling early indicators pointing toward a potential Uranium discovery.

On the K-Zone drilling has intersected extensive hydrothermal hematite alteration in all holes, indicating this alteration zone is at least 800 meters long. Drill hole EP0035 intersected an extensive zone of hydrothermal hematite more than 100 meters thick. Within this zone localized elevated radioactivity identified from both hand-held scintillometers and a downhole gamma probe was also encountered. Analysis of samples from this zone will be sent to the lab to evaluate the significance of the elevated radioactivity in this area. Additional drilling is underway to evaluate the significance of this alteration zone and to follow-up the elevated radioactivity identified.

On the G-Zone where eight holes have been completed and one hole is in progress, Extensive alteration and evidence of east-west cross-cutting structures have been intersected, along the southern portion of the zone. Additional drilling will be undertaken to evaluate the significance of this alteration and associated cross cutting structure.

2 separate zones, 2 Possible discoveries. Shareholders should pay very close attention to these early results. Being strategically located in the Athabasca Basin provides a leverage to discovery few early entrants to the space can demonstrate.

Why is Azincourt exploring in These areas? Quite simply the world needs clean energy.

The Uranium Market is demonstrating limited supply and growing demand and this provides a growth platform for explorco’s to capitalize on the need for uranium as Nuclear power is one of the safest forms of electricity generation. Nuclear power capacity worldwide is increasing steadily, with about 50 reactors under construction.

Take a seat ans have a listen to this great interview with Alex Klenman, President & CEO of Azincourt Energy (TSX.V: AAZ / OTC: AZURF) as he takes us through the steps why Azincourt may be the next Smallcap discovery in the Saskatchewan’s prolific Athabasca Basin.
