Alaska Energy Metals Completes Inaugural Diamond Core Drilling Program and DHEM Surveys at the Canwell Property, Alaska, USA
October 01 2024 - 9:50AM
Alaska Energy Metals Corporation (TSX-V: AEMC, OTCQB: AKEMF)
(“
AEMC” or the “
Company”) is
pleased to announce the completion of its previously announced
drilling program to test compelling geological – geophysical –
geochemical targets at the Canwell block of claims that form part
of its Nikolai Project in Alaska. The Canwell prospects are located
near the Company’s Nikolai project Eureka deposit, which represents
a large accumulation of nickel with copper, cobalt, chromium, iron,
platinum, palladium, and gold. Three drill holes for a total of
1,048 meters were completed on the featured targets at Canwell,
including the Emerick, Odie and Upper Canwell prospects. The drill
holes at Odie and Upper Canwell reached the planned target depths,
while the drill hole at Emerick was stopped early due to extremely
poor ground conditions. All the core has been logged, cut, and
sampled and are currently at SGS Burnaby analytical labs. Assay
results will be published later this quarter.
DOWNHOLE ELECTROMAGNETIC SURVEYS (DHEM)The
Company has also completed DHEM surveys on one drill hole at the
Upper Canwell prospect. The surveys were completed by TMC
Géophysique of Val-d'Or, Quebec. DHEM surveys test for the presence
of mineralized conductive zones around a drill hole within a radius
that can reach 200 meters. These surveys will aid the Company in
determining if other zones of sulfide mineralization may exist near
the drill holes and aid in planning for follow-up drilling. Final
survey results and interpretations will be available later in the
fourth quarter of 2024.
Alaska Energy Metals Chief Geoscientist Gabe Graf commented:
“Despite the challenging ground conditions faced during this drill
program at the Canwell prospects, our drill contractor was
successful in reaching the planned total depth of drilling in two
of the three drill holes at Odie and Upper Canwell. Completing this
inaugural drill program brings us one step closer to uncovering the
critical mineral potential of the entire Nikolai project in Alaska.
We look forward to receiving and sharing the analytical and DHEM
survey results upon receipt later this quarter.”
SHARE ISSUANCEThe Company also
reports that it has issued one million AEMC shares and paid
US$125,000 to the owner of the Canwell claim block. AEMC has an
option to purchase a 100% interest in the claims. To complete the
option, AEMC will need to make one further cash and share payment
of US$250,000 and one million AEMC shares and make further
exploration expenditures of approximately US$1.2 million.
