Azincourt Energy Corp. announced results from its late 2018 reconnaissance surveys of the Escalera Project properties in the Picotani volcanic field in Carabaya and San Antanio De Putina Provinces, Puno Region, in southeastern Peru. Highlight surface rock grab sampling and new uranium zone identification: Sampling at the priority Escalera Property has identified two new uranium prospective areas measuring an estimated 4.5 and 2.0 kilometres long. Escalera Property rock grab samples have yielded highlight laboratory results of up to 8,061 ppm uranium (0.95% U3O8), with a property total of 11 rock samples reporting above a 1,000-ppm uranium (0.12% U3O8) threshold. Observed surface radioactivity combined with uranium-in-rock laboratory results has shown that the Escalera Property will be the priority exploration focus going forward. Uranium laboratory results and surface radioactivity indications at Condorlit and Lituania were generally sub anomalous. For all three properties lithium-in-rock laboratory results were generally uniform and sub anomalous; averaging about 153 ppm Li with a high value 360 ppm Li. Interestingly, on the southwest part of the Escalera property there is a notable cluster of lithium-in-rock results ranging 290 to 360 ppm Li that will see follow-up work. total of 113 rock samples were collected during the three-week long reconnaissance sampling and prospecting program; with a total of 94 rock samples collected on the 5,500-hectare Escalera Property. To ascertain the potential for uranium enrichment in the target Paleogene – Neogene aged weathered felsic volcanic flow rocks, field staff used portable scintillometers to identify zones of elevated surface radioactivity to efficiently direct rock sampling. In particular, sampling focused on locations with elevated radioactivity associated with large fractures and faults in the volcanic flows, which likely reflects uranium remobilization due to extensive surface weathering. At Escalera, the proposed uranium mineralization model is similar to that found at the Macusani Uranium deposit (Plateau Energy Metals) located about 100 kilometres to the northwest, where uranium has dissolved and precipitated from source frothy volcanic debris flow rocks through an intricate interaction between geomorphology, groundwater movement and evaporation. The Macusani Uranium deposit has a reported measured & indicated resource of 52.9 Mlbs U3O8 (248ppm) and an inferred resource of 72.1 Mlbs U3O8 (251ppm).
