HOOK – CARTER URANIUM PROJECT

Project Snapshot

Ownership:

ALX 20% – Denison Mines 80% after sale to Denison in 2016 for 7.5 million common shares of Denison and a minimum spend requirement of $3 MM in exploration. Denison has funded $7.05 million in exploration to date.  The property is subject to certain royalties held by underlying vendors.

ALX can earn an additional 5.0% funding $3.0 million of exploration at Hook-Carter within a 30-month period from May 21, 2024, which would change the joint venture participating interests to ALX 25% – Denison 75%.  

Size:

11 claims covering 25,115 ha.

Location:

SW margin of the Athabasca Basin within the Patterson Lake corridor; ~27km east of provincial highway 955.

Regional Significance

  • ~13 km northeast of NexGen’s Arrow deposit.
  • ~20 km northeast of Fission Uranium’s Triple R uranium deposit.
  • ~8 km northeast of Cameco/Orano/Purepoint’s Spitfire, Hornet and Dragon discoveries.

Outlook and Planned Exploration

  • No work undertaken since 2019.
  • Highly prospective for continued exploration, which to date suggests the presence of a large mineralized system on the property.

Exploration Summary 2017-2019

  • In 2019, six drill holes totaling 4,797m, identified favourable structure and alteration in the most drill holes, in addition to significant concentrations of uranium pathfinder elements.

  • In 2018, two drill programs totalling 6,960m in nine drill holes were completed. Strong hydrothermal alteration in sandstone and basement lithologies associated with graphitic basement structures encountered.

  • Ground resistivity and electromagnetic surveys identified the 2018-19 drill program targets.
