Bedford Metals Announces Winter Exploration Plans for UbiquiPhase 1 of the program will involve a comprehensive Magnetic and Electromagnetic (EM) survey to map key bedrock structures, faults, folds, and graphitic conductors. Graphitic conductors are significant as they are often associated with uranium mineralization in the Athabasca Basin. The data collected from this survey will be integrated with historic datasets to develop a global understanding of the alteration events and the resultant uranium enrichment across the Ubiquity Lake Complex. Phase 2 will consist of a ground Induced Polarization (IP) survey and extensive prospecting, particularly in areas where target zones have been identified. This phase will involve the collection of channel samples and the deployment of man-portable Shaw Drills, which can produce A-core and have an effective penetration of over 5m. The primary goal of this phase is to refine diamond drilling targets for the planned Fall 2025 field season.
To execute and oversee the Winter 2024/25 exploration program, Bedford has engaged Grander Exploration. Grander has a proven and successful track record in the Athabasca Basin, employing both traditional and innovative exploration techniques to optimize field activities.
Peter Born, President of Bedford, commented, “We are excited to commence our Winter 2024/25 exploration program at Ubiquity Lake. With the support of Grander Exploration and the advanced techniques we plan to deploy, we are confident that this program will advance our understanding of the project’s uranium potential and refine our drilling targets for the next phase. Our recent successes and growing knowledge of the area fuel our optimism as we look forward to future exploration milestones.”
Bedford remains committed to conducting all exploration activities in an environmentally responsible manner. The company prioritizes minimizing its environmental footprint and ensuring that all operations are sustainable and respectful. Additionally, Bedford values collaboration with local communities and indigenous stakeholders, ensuring that its activities bring positive benefits and are carried out transparently and cooperatively.
The Company will provide additional details on the Winter 2024/25 program as plans are finalized and preparations advance. Bedford is dedicated to keeping stakeholders informed of all significant developments.
