Catharsis

About the Catharsis Project

The Catharsis project is 100% owned by Baselode Energy with no underlying royalties.  Catharsis is on geological strike with the World’s largest and most-productive high-grade uranium district, the Wollaston and Mudjatik domains.  Over 2 billion lbs U3O8 have been discovered along this trend.  When searching for uranium deposits, this trend is the high-grade capital of the world.

Drill Results - 2023

Baselode completed 1,630 metres in eight drill holes (CT23-001 to CT23-008).  Of note, CT23-005 intersected a structurally-controlled quartz-hematite-clay alteration system over 105 m core length that shares numerous similarities with fluid conduits observed near other Athabasca basement-hosted uranium deposits, and CT23-008 intersected a 17 m long pervasive chlorite, clay and decalcification zone akin to numerous basement-hosted Athabasca uranium deposits. 

Drill Plans - 2024

Baselode is permitted with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment to complete a helicopter-supported drill program scheduled for mid- to late-Q1 2024.  Baselode has planned for 8 to 10 drill holes in 4 - 8 collar locations for a total of 2,000 metres, with each drill hole ranging from 200 to 250 metres drill hole depth. The Program will drill test a number of gravity-low target areas (see Figure 2). 

Exploration Targets

Baselode’s drill program is designed to target overlapping geophysical anomalies characteristic of many Athabasca uranium deposits, including a prominent gravity low feature coincident with electromagnetic conductor breaks and bends. This target area shares interpreted geophysical and structural similarities with Fission Uranium Corp.’s (TSX: FCU) Triple R and NexGen Energy Ltd.’s (TSX: NXE) Arrow high-grade uranium deposits of the Patterson Lake corridor in the southwest Athabasca.

Location and Infrastructure

Catharsis is located 75 km southwest from the Key Lake uranium mill. All-season Provincial highway 914, which services the Key Lake mill and McArthur River mine, cuts through the Property.  The Property encompasses ~136,000 hectares 60 km south of the Athabasca Basin edge.
