The fourth zone was intersected directly above the unconformity (located at 356.7m), extending into graphitic basement rock below. The additional three widest intersections are basement hosted vein style uranium mineralization, associated with strong hematite alteration, graphitic structures and overprinting silicification - similar in style and widths observed in Athabasca Basin basement hosted deposits;RIB North Discovery is situated along the 4.4 km eastern limb of the Mineralized RIB Corridor (\"MRC\") - a 12 km trend containing stacked structural anomalies, identified using 3D EM Inversion modeling. During the 2025 Angilak Exploration Program these anomalies were drill tested, resulting in a 100% success rate of intersecting uranium mineralization, and the discovery of four new mineralized areas: RIB East, West, North and South (Figures 2 & 3);The nearest drilling to RIBN-DD-001 occurred ~1.4 km along strike at the RIB East Discovery and 1.8 km along strike at the RIB West Discovery areas - both holes intersected uranium mineralization, however, the extension of the structural corridor hosting RIB North mineralization remains untested and highly prospective (Figures 3);All 2025 mineralized drill core samples have been submitted to the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) Geoanalytical Laboratory for analysis.
