[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bedford Metals Corp. (TSX-V: BFM, FWB: O8D, ISIN: CA0762301012) (the “Company” or “Bedford”) is pleased to announce the Company has sent a total of 60 samples from its recent exploration program at the Ubiquity Lake Uranium Project, Athabasca, Canada for Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) analysis. This advanced analytical technique is considered the 'gold standard' for uranium analysis. It provides precise and sensitive measurements of trace elements across a wide range of samples, helping to confirm the promising on-site results. Peter Born, President of Bedford, commented, “The results from our recent exploration program at the Ubiquity Lake Project have been very encouraging. We are eager to see the outcomes from the ICP-MS analysis, as we anticipate that the lab results will confirm our initial findings. These results will be crucial in guiding our next steps as we outline the upcoming exploration program at Ubiquity Lake.” The Company is using an innovative mineral analysis approach, Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). This advanced analytical technique stands at the forefront of modern scientific exploration, offering unparalleled precision and sensitivity in measuring trace elements. ICP-MS first converts the sample into an ionized state within a high-temperature plasma torch. This plasma generates temperatures exceeding 10,000 degrees Celsius, effectively breaking down the sample into its elemental components. These ions are then extracted into the mass spectrometer, where they are separated based on their mass-to-charge ratios and quantified with exceptional accuracy. The Company will incorporate the results from this lab analysis into the planning and execution of the next exploration phase at the Ubiquity Lake Uranium Project. The data will be critical in refining our understanding of the mineralization potential and identifying high-priority targets for further investigation. Bedford remains committed to conducting all exploration activities with the utmost respect for environmental stewardship. The company is dedicated to minimizing its environmental footprint and ensuring that all operations are sustainable and responsible. Additionally, Bedford values its relationships with local communities and indigenous groups...
