Bedford Metals Corp. announced the results of its VNIR (Visible Near Field Infrared) and SWIR (Shortwave Infrared) satellite investigation at the Close Lake Uranium Project in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan. An analysis conducted by Dr. Neil Pendock, PhD, has successfully identified several positive indicators for uranium, including anomalous helium emissions and various subsurface features such as illite clays and magnetite.

These findings are comparable to those observed at Cameco?s Cigar Lake Mine, the world?s highest-grade uranium mine. Key Findings: Helium Blooms: Two significant helium blooms were identified. He1 is located at the northwestern extent of the project, at the southern terminus of a previously identified target zone.

He2 is situated on the northern shore of Close Lake. The presence of anomalous helium, a decay product of uranium, is directly correlated with uranium deposits. Hematite-Rich Anomaly: A 1000m northwest-trending anomaly, interpreted as hematite-rich, was discovered.

Hematite is an alteration signature observed at the Cigar Lake Mine and is found in sandstone above the unconformity, in fractures and breccias, and in basement rocks below the unconformity, closely associated with uraninite ores. Illite Anomaly: A concurrent anomaly interpreted as illite was identified. Illite is a clay formed through intense hydrothermal alteration, which is the principal mechanism for uranium deposition in the basin.
