Bayridge Resources plans 2026 exploration at Baker Lake

Executive Summary

• Bayridge Resources Corp. has outlined its planned 2026 exploration program for the Baker Lake uranium project in Nunavut, focusing on advancing priority uranium targets identified through historical data and modern geophysical surveys.
• The company plans to conduct a comprehensive desktop review, reinterpretation of 2008 airborne data, geological mapping, and resampling of historical showings to refine targets and reduce geological risk prior to drilling.
• A first-phase diamond drilling program of approximately 3,000 meters is planned, subject to permitting and early-stage results, to test priority targets along the Baker basin unconformity and untested electromagnetic conductors.

Key Details

• Project Location & Scope: The Baker Lake uranium project is located in Nunavut's Kivalliq region, 60 kilometers south of the town of Baker Lake. It comprises 83 contiguous claims covering 619 square kilometers within the Thelon-Baker basin.
• Geological Context: The project is situated in the same Paleoproterozoic uranium district hosting Atha Energy’s Angilak and Orano’s Kiggavik deposits. Mineralization is hosted in Kazan formation sandstones and structurally prepared corridors, with basin-scale fluid pathways and structural controls interpreted as key to localizing mineralization.
• Historical Data & Targets:
  • $7 million in modern exploration value has already been completed.
  • A 2008 Tempest survey defined 30 high-priority uranium targets.
  • 20 uranium prospects have been outlined along 70 kilometers of the Baker basin unconformity.
  • Historical drilling has returned multiple significant uranium intercepts.
  • Unexplored high-priority drill targets remain along untested electromagnetic (EM) conductors.
• 2026 Exploration Strategy:
  • Desktop Review: Comprehensive review of all available historical exploration data.
  • Geophysical Reinterpretation: Reinterpretation of the 2008 Tempest airborne geophysical survey.
  • Field Work: Commencement of detailed geological mapping and prospecting over underexplored portions of the project area.
  • Sampling & Logging: Resampling of historical surface showings and priority targets; relogging of selected historic drill core to refine lithological, alteration, and structural interpretations.
  • Logistics: Advancement of logistics in preparation for the first-phase diamond drilling program.
• Drilling Plan: An approximately 3,000-meter helicopter-supported diamond drill program is planned to test priority uranium targets. This is subject to permitting and early-stage results from the preceding exploration activities.
• Qualified Person: Mark Richardson, PGeo, Vice-President of Exploration, is the Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and has reviewed and approved the technical content.
