[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 15, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AZINCOURT ENERGY CORP. (“Azincourt” or the “Company”) (TSX.V: AAZ, OTC: AZURF), is pleased to announce results from the helicopter-borne Versatile Time-Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM™ Max) and Magnetic survey conducted over the southeastern portion of the East Preston Uranium Project, located in the western Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan. As reported previously, Azincourt conducted a helicopter-borne Versatile Time-Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM™ Max) and Magnetic survey in February 2019 over the southern portion of the East Preston Project to complete survey coverage over the entire 25,000+ hectare project area. The survey consisted of 498 line-km with 300 m line spacing and 1,000 m tie-line spacing – identical parameters to the previous VTEM™ Max survey, and ties directly into the previous flight lines oriented NW-SE, perpendicular to the NE-SW orientation of the regional structural and basement conductor trends at East Preston. Geotech completed data processing and provided a merged dataset covering the entire East Preston project. In-depth interpretation has now been completed by Bingham Geoscience, geophysical consultants to Azincourt. The detailed interpretation of the project-scale VTEM survey data has added an additional seven areas to the project target inventory and has confirmed the main A-conductor trend extends an additional five km southwest to the property edge. Four of the new target areas (A7, A8, B4 & C1) display prospective structural offset breaks in the conductor trends with multiple, discreet conductors interpreted. Three new target areas (B5, B6 & E1) display single discreet conductors coincident with magnetic structures and offset breaks (see Figure 1). All new target areas are considered prospective for basement-hosted unconformity uranium discovery and the expanded targets at East Preston will now be prioritized for continued exploration drill testing. “We are very pleased with the results of the property-wide VTEM survey, results that have now substantially expanded our target inventory,” said Ted O’Connor, Director and Technical Advisor for East Preston. “I am most excited at the results along the A Conductor Corridor that extends across the entire central project area. This complex, linear, multi-conductor system hosts geologically pro...
