TORONTO, April 13, 2022 /CNW/ - Baselode Energy Corp. (TSXV: FIND) (OTCQB: BSENF) ("Baselode" or the "Company") has prepared a video presentation providing updated details on the ongoing 20,000 metre diamond drilling program (the "Program") on the ACKIO high-grade uranium discovery ("ACKIO"), Hook project, Athabasca Basin area, northern Saskatchewan. The video discusses:
- Increasing radioactivity trends suggest mineralization is stronger to the southeast
- Structural interpretations suggest unconformity mineralization targets to the southeast and northeast
- The differences between the "Upper" and "Lower" zones of mineralization
- The logistics of working with a helicopter-supported drill program during winter conditions

Since announcing the Program's start on February 9, 2022 (see Company News Release), Baselode has completed 15 drill holes (AK22-05 to AK22-19) for 4,754.6 m.
The Company will continue to release drill core radioactivity results as a prelude to uranium assay results on a bi-monthly to monthly schedule. Uranium assay results will be released as they are received from the laboratory after a thorough QAQC and compilation by the technical team.
The Program is helicopter-supported to lessen any ground-induced environmental impacts within the project area, and will allow Baselode to continue the Program during Spring thaw.
ACKIO is 30 km southeast of well-established infrastructure, including an all-season road and powerline between Cameco Corp.'s (TSX: CCO) and Orano's McArthur River mine and Key Lake Uranium mill joint ventures. ACKIO is 70 km northeast of the Key Lake mill.
