Traction and F3 Mobilize Drill to Hearty Bay Project, Will Test Gravity Targets at Head of Uranium Boulder Field

A sonic drill has arrived on site to complete a 2,000 metre program, searching for the source of the Isle Brochet radioactive boulders, grading up to 8.23% U3O8.

(Calgary, AB): Traction Uranium Corp. (CSE: TRAC) (OTC: TRCTF) (FRA: Z1K) (the “Company” or “Traction”) is pleased to announce that the 2024 winter drill program at the Hearty Bay project is underway with the arrival of the Boart Longyear drill crew on site.  The program is designed to find the source of the uriniferous boulder trains located on Isle Brochet which historic drill programs couldn’t.  The recently completed gravity survey (see News Release of January 30, 2024) has provided excellent targets for the program that remain untested by the historic drill programs.

A total of 2,000 metres of drilling is planned using a Boart Longyear sonic rig that can sample the overburden (following the boulder train under the ice) and then switch over to core sampling once the bedrock is intersected.  This should help trace the location of the boulders within the overburden under the lake to the source area, which should be defined by one of the gravity low targets defined by this winter’s survey (see Figure 1).   The program should be completed by the end of March, dependant on ice conditions.

Boart Longyear is the drill contractor, overburden experts are provided by Palmer Geotechnical Consultants Inc., F3 is the program operator and technical guidance will be given by Rock U Consulting (K Wheatley), Technical Advisor to Traction Uranium.
