The Spruce Uranium Undertaking
The Undertaking is positioned alongside the Grease River Shear Zone (“GRSZ”), a crustal-scale structural hall as much as seven kilometres extensive. In contrast to different main structural zones within the Athabasca Basin, which have yielded the massive high-grade uranium discoveries, the GRSZ has seen very restricted exploration so far. Historic exploration has demonstrated the GRSZ to be potential for basement-hosted uranium mineralization, evidenced by the Fond du Lac uranium deposit and quite a few historic uranium occurrences (Desk 1). As well as, the Undertaking contains anomalous lake sediment samples with as much as 287 ppm uranium from historic regional datasets, and several other airborne radiometric uranium anomalies. Solely three historic drill holes have been accomplished on the Undertaking so far. The 6,855 hectare Undertaking covers over six (6) kilometres of potential strike size alongside the GRSZ, inside roughly 20 kilometres of the present-day Athabasca Basin margin.
As well as, the Undertaking has potential for REE deposits. The northern area of Saskatchewan has a precedent for top REE grades, exemplified by the Alces Lake, Hoidas Lake and Bear Lake REE initiatives. Historic REE discoveries on the Undertaking have been made whereas prospecting for uranium and data point out that these occurrences, together with outcrop samples of three.13% TREE, 1.17% TREE, 0.88% TREE and 0.85% TREE, haven’t been followed-up.

Subsequent Steps
The Undertaking warrants a contemporary, systematic method to judge the GRSZ and different historic uranium and REE occurrences of curiosity.
Subsequent steps are deliberate to incorporate:
- Desk-top Prioritization of Goal Areas: Present historic knowledge (geochemical and airborne geophysical surveys), regional authorities knowledge, and satellite tv for pc imagery present precious info to start prioritization of goal areas, which would come with the identification of favorable lithological and structural settings.
- Discipline Information Verification and Investigation: Verification of historic datasets is deliberate inside prioritized goal areas, to incorporate ground-truthing of uranium and REE occurrences. Scope of labor to incorporate geological mapping, scintillometer surveying and seize sampling.
- Drill Goal Definition: Drill targets are anticipated to be outlined via geophysical surveying together with gravity and magnetics and/or further EM surveys, as relevant. Geochemical surveys could also be warranted based mostly on assessments of appropriate pattern media.
The Firm plans to start the desk-top prioritization of goal areas over the approaching weeks. Fortune Bay intends on discovering an appropriate companion to advance the Undertaking via an earn-in, or comparable settlement, that gives Fortune Bay with upside in future discovery.
Grant of Deferred Share Models
Fortune Bay broadcasts that efficient November 28, 2023 and December 20, 2023 the board of administrators of the Firm has granted Deferred Share Models (“DSUs”) to its administrators, officers and staff to fulfill sure director charges and administration bonuses in lieu of money. 150,000 DSUs have been granted to the Firm’s administrators to settle director charges for the yr ended December 31, 2023 . As well as, 290,000 DSUs have been granted to officers and staff in lieu of annual money bonuses. The DSUs will vest in accordance with the Firm’s deferred share unit plan.
Technical Disclosure
The historic outcomes contained inside this information launch haven’t been verified and there’s a danger that any future affirmation work and exploration might produce outcomes that considerably differ from the historic outcomes. The Firm considers these historic outcomes related to evaluate the mineralization and financial potential of the property. The Firm additionally cautions that historic outcomes on adjoining properties will not be essentially indicative of the outcomes which may be achieved on the Undertaking. Additional particulars relating to the historic occurrences famous on this information launch will be discovered inside the Saskatchewan Mineral Deposit Index (“SMDI”) utilizing the reference numbers supplied in Desk 1. Historic assay and scintillometer survey outcomes have been captured from evaluation stories obtainable within the Saskatchewan Mineral Evaluation Database (SMAD) references 74O07-0002, 74O07-0031, 74O09-0023 and 74O09-0024. Historic anomalous lake sediment samples referenced derive from Geological Society of Canada datasets obtainable from the Saskatchewan on-line GeoAtlas and from evaluation report 74O09-0023. Particulars relating to the Fond du Lac Uranium Deposit will be discovered within the publication by Homeniuk, L A, Clark, R. J., and Bonnar, R., Eldorado Nuclear Restricted, CIM Bulletin Could,1982. ” Fond-du-Lac uranium deposit”.
