[{"type":"text","content":" Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 31, 2024) - Bayridge Resources Corp. (CSE: BYRG) (\"Bayridge\") is pleased to announce that it has received the drilling permit for its 1,337 ha Waterbury East uranium project in Canada's Athabasca Basin. The 3-year permit is valid until 2027-Jul-31 and includes 40 drill collar sites, along with the clearing of exploration trails and line cutting. \"The Waterbury East drilling permit is a significant milestone for the Company,\" commented President and CEO, Saf Dhillon. \"Bayridge is fully funded to undertake a multi-hole drill program slated for late Q3 2024,\" he continued. \"in3D Geoscience is working with the recently completed Geotech VTEM data to prioritize drilling targets within the magnetic and electromagnetic anomalies defined by the survey'\" he concluded. The Waterbury East project is underlain by geology favourable to hosting both unconformity-hosted and basement-hosted uranium deposits. These deposits are typically associated with graphitic metasediments and structural zones that exhibit strong EM conductor responses. Historical airborne EM surveys have defined an ENE-striking conductor across the property, with a depth to unconformity of ~200m. Most of the uranium discoveries in the Athabasca Basin are concentrated along the unconformity edge, where the sedimentary cover is the thinnest (<300m). In 2007, CanAlaska Uranium Ltd. (\"CanAlaska\") reported encouraging results from a drill program, with an intersection of 17.0 m of anomalous basement-hosted uranium enrichment, containing a highlight value of 324 ppm U over 0.6 m in a structurally controlled zone in WAT005. Interpreted geophysical magnetic lineaments suggest additional structures occur in the basement. *Readers are cautioned that Bayridge has not verified these historical results. Bayridge holds a staged option to earn up to an 80% interest in Waterbury East from CanAlaska through a series of cash payments, share issuances and exploration expenditures over the next 4 years. Waterbury East is located 25 km northeast of the Cigar Lake Mine, 15 km south of Points North and is accessible from the Cigar Lake winter road. R. Tim Henneberry, P.Geo.
