MINERAL PROPERTY EXPLORATION

EAST PRESTON PROPERTY - Western Athabasca Basin, Canada

As at June 30, 2022, the Company incurred total acquisition costs of $2,225,065 (September 30, 2021 - $2,225,065) pursuant to an option agreement to acquire a 70% interest in the East Preston property. Earn in under the option agreement was completed in February of 2021, with Azincourt holding a 70% interest in the Property. Following the acquisition of the interest, the Company formed a joint venture with Skyharbour Resources Ltd. and Dixie Gold Inc. with the remaining 30% interest split evenly between Skyharbour and Dixie Gold. Dixie Gold has elected to not participate in subsequent programs and dilute interest, and as such, current ownership stands with Azincourt at 72.8%, Skyharbour Resources at 15%, and Dixie Gold at 12.2%

The East Preston property is part of the formerly larger Preston property explored by Skyharbour, and its predecessor partners. In excess of $4.7 million has been spent on the Preston uranium project to date, including ground gravity, airborne and ground electromagnetics, radon, soil, silt, biogeochem, lake sediment, and geological mapping surveys, as well as two exploratory drill programs. Fifteen high-priority drill target areas associated with six prospective exploration corridors have been successfully delineated at Preston through methodical, multiphased

exploration work. AREVA has recently optioned the adjacent Preston property for up to $7.3 million in exploration expenditures, highlighting the exploration prospectivity of the area.

The East Preston property has had extensive regional exploration work including: airborne electromagnetic (VTEM), magnetic and radiometric surveys, ground based Horizontal Loop EM (HLEM) and gravity, prospecting, sampling, and multiple diamond drill programs. Three prospective conductive, low magnetic signature corridors have been discovered on the property. The three distinct corridors having a total strike length of over 25 km, each with multiple EM conductor trends have been identified.

Three main target areas were drill tested with promising basement lithologies and graphitic structures intersected along with associated, anomalous Rare Earth Element ("REE") mineralization and favourable alteration. The basement lithologies and litho-tectonic setting at East Preston are very similar and appear analogous to the Patterson Lake South-Arrow-Hook Lake/Spitfire uranium deposits' host rocks and setting, and the recognition of REE mineralization setting appears to represent a basement mineralizing system similar to sandstone-hosted REE mineralization associated with uranium deposition observed at the Wheeler River project in the eastern Athabasca. The East Preston basement-hosted REE mineralization is LREE>HREE, whereas, the sandstone-hosted MAW Zone is HREE dominant, which could be related to original source-rock contents, fluid travel pathways/chemistries and depositional conditions (basement versus sandstone style). However, the presence of similar HREE mineralization in basement structures displaying silica and boron enrichment at East Preston confirms mineralizing basement fluid systems were active and, although this system is not uranium-bearing, the litho-tectonic setting and conditions remain highly prospective for basement-host uranium mineralization discovery in the vicinity.

The 2020 drill program included additional drilling in the Swoosh zone, an over seven-kilometre- long east-west structural lineament with strongly anomalous, spatially consistent geochemical anomalies (lake sediments, radon, soil) and coincident magnetic and gravity geophysical anomalies. This zone is located along strike -- approximately five kilometres southwest of the A- zone. No graphitic rocks or anomalous geochemistry was intersected at Swoosh, and no additional follow up work is planned.

An early winter 2021 ground geophysical targeting program was completed in January to generate and refine targets supporting future drill programs based on the existing property-wideheli-borne VTEM survey results where numerous untested graphitic conductive corridor trends have been identified for follow up. The program consisted of 40.5 line-km of helicopter-supported Horizontal Loop Electromagnetic (HLEM) ground geophysical surveying in six grid target areas. The survey was successful in delineating several conductors over the six selected target areas, G1, G2, G3, K, Q and H (see Figure 2). Many of the conductors show strong well-defined responses and have been recommended for drill test follow-up.

A winter 2021 exploration program was planned to follow-up encouraging results from previous drilling and incorporate new targets generated during the latest ground geophysical program. The program was to be a minimum 10+ hole, up to 2,500 metre diamond drill campaign. The program was terminated after the completion of 1,195 meters in 5 drill holes due to unseasonably warm weather in early March, with safety and security concerns resulting from the early break-up. Preliminary results indicate that the conductive corridor through the A to G Zones contains a thick graphitic package and associated complex structural pattern ideal for the placement of uranium mineralization. Anomalous and elevated uranium levels were encountered in three of the five holes completed with all five drill holes wide zones of breccia and sheared graphitic faulting over a 50 m interval. Elevated uranium was identified above a graphitic breccia.

A summer 2021 exploration program was carried out with a 2,514 km airborne radiometric survey over the previously unsurveyed southern portion of the property in early August. The survey was successful in highlighting radiometric anomalies worthy of follow-up, particularly in the previously identified G- and Q-zones. Geological mapping and prospecting to follow-up on the identified anomalies was conducted in late August to early September and will be of benefit in refining drill targets in the area.

An extensive diamond drilling program was conducted during the winter of 2022 consisting of 5,004.5 m completed in 19 drill holes. Drilling continued where the 2021 program left off and was focused on the G-,K-, and H-Zones. Road preparation commenced in December 2021, with drilling conducted from late January to late March 2022.

Extensive hydrothermal alteration and evidence of east-west cross cutting structures were intersected and identified on the southern portion of the G-Zone. Drilling on the K-Zone identified hydrothermal hematite alteration in all holes, with some clay present, indicating an alteration zone extending at least 1,200 m. Elevated radioactivity in excess of 10 times background was identified in one drill hole, EP0035. H-Zone drilling has identified a hydrothermal alteration zone with an intense graphitic fault zone extending at least 500 m. Currently the alteration zones on the K- and H-Zones are separated by a 2 km gap in drilling. Whether or not these zones are connected is uncertain at this time. A total of 420 samples were collected from drillcore for geochemical analysis. An analysis of the results shows uranium enrichment within the identified alteration zones along the G, K, and H trends. Uranium enrichment is identified as uranium (U) values and a uranium/thorium ratio (U/Th) above what would normally be expected in the given rock type or area.

The presence of extensive zones of hydrothermal alteration and elevated uranium are considered good indicators for potential uranium mineralization, as major deposits in the Athabasca basin have typically been found by identifying and chasing alteration. A winter 2023 drill campaign of approximately 6,000 m is planned for the property to continue to evaluate the identified alteration zones and as yet untested target areas on the prospective K-H-Q trend. Many other targets are present on the property and will require testing in future programs.

HATCHET LAKE PROPERTY - Eastern Athabasca Basin, Canada

On November 9th, 2021, the Company entered into an option agreement with ValOre Metals Corp., to earn up to a 75% interest in the Hatchet Lake property. The Hatchet Lake property consists of six mineral claims covering 13,711 hectares located in Saskatchewan, Canada. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company will make staged cash payments totalling $850,000, issue common shares with a value of $1,750,000 and incur exploration expenditures totalling $4,000,000 over 3 years. As at June 30, 2022, the Company has incurred total acquisition costs of $455,000 (September 30, 2021 - $Nil) on Hatchet Lake pursuant to the option agreement and a finders' fee of $105,000.

Hatchet Lake sits just outside the northeastern margin of the Athabasca Basin, situated along the underexplored northeast extension of the Western Wollaston Domain (WWD) within the Wollaston-Mudjatik Transition Zone (WMTZ). This highly prospective structural corridor hosts the majority of known high-grade uranium deposits and all of Canada's operating uranium mines.

Previous work on the property identified multiple, shallow, unconformity-related basement uranium targets. Previous work includes diamond drilling, geophysics, boulder, soil, lake

sediment and bio-geochemical sampling. The project contains substantial historic exploration datasets with identified uranium anomalism and showings to help guide exploration programs. Historical operators include Gulf Minerals, Saskatchewan Mining and Development Corp, Hathor Exploration Ltd., and Rio Tinto.

Three target areas have been selected on the Hatchet Lake property for initial work. The priority drill targets are the SW Scrimes and Upper Manson areas, which are considered drill ready once some initial ground reconnaissance is completed. Geochemical anomalies highlight a variety of uraniferous host rocks that are coincident with identified conductive geophysical targets. Rock samples have returned assay results up to 2.43% U3O8 (ValOre Metals Presentation, unverified). Uraniferous rocks are typically referred to as containing uranium significantly above normal expected values.

Work is currently underway to permit and prepare for a ground geophysics and drill program in the fall of 2022.

ELC PROPERTY - Peru

As at June 30, 2022, the Company has incurred total acquisition costs of $1,689,750 (September 30, 2021 - $1,689,750).

On September 5, 2018, and amended on October 16, 2019, July 29, 2020 and on February 3, 2021, the Company entered into an option agreement with 1177865 BC Ltd. whereby the Company may acquire an undivided 100% interest in the Escalara ("ELC") property, located in Peru. The Company was required to issue a further 400,000 common shares, complete cash payments of $350,000 and incur exploration expenditures of $2,500,000 to acquire the property. Under the terms of the amended agreement on February 3, 2021, the Company agreed to exercise the option immediately with the issuance of 4,000,000 common shares. 1177865 BC Ltd. has waived all further cash payments and expenditures under the option agreement and assigned ownership of the ELC property to the Company.

The ELC property consists of six Escalara project concessions covering a combined area of 5,500 hectares of prospective exploration targets for volcanic hosted supergene/surficial uranium and lithium on the Picotani Plateau, Puno, Peru. Located in a mineral-rich district where mining giants like Minsur and Rio Tinto operate, as well as growing mid-tiers and juniors like Bear Creek Mining and America Lithium Corp. Surface rock samples obtained in 2017 from the ELC property were processed by ALS Minerals, in Lima, Peru, and returned values of up to 3,560 ppm uranium and 153 ppm lithium. Historical samples taken from the ELC property have yielded values up to 6,812 ppm uranium.

In 2018 Azincourt initiated first phase ground work that included detailed reconnaissance to locate favourable outcroppings and known host rock formations, focused ground radiometric geophysical surveys using hand portable scintillometers to test for elevated radioactivity at surface, and a comprehensive channel sampling program. Sampling at the priority ELC property has identified two new prospective uranium areas measuring an estimated combined 6.5 kilometers. Rock grab samples yielded highlight laboratory results of up to 8,061 ppm uranium (0.95% U3O8). Additional highlight samples return 6,812 ppm, 6,126 ppm, 3,560 ppm and 3,438 ppm uranium. 11 rock samples reporting above 1,000-ppm uranium (0.12% U3O8)*.

  • Rock grab samples are selective by nature and do not necessarily represent average grades on the property
