Overview
ALX Sources (TSXV:AL,FWB:6LLN,OTC:ALXEF) is devoted to offering shareholders with a number of alternatives for discovery by exploring a portfolio of potential mineral properties, which embody uranium, lithium, nickel–copper–cobalt and gold.
Utilizing the newest applied sciences, ALX plans and executes well-designed exploration packages and holds over 240,000 hectares of potential properties in Saskatchewan, Quebec and Ontario, Canada.
Having operations in steady Canadian jurisdictions strategically positions ALX Sources in key exploration areas with robust potential for financial base metals deposits, producing gold mines and the richest uranium deposits on the earth. This consists of the Firebird nickel (previously Falcon Nickel) and Flying Vee nickel-copper-cobalt tasks, and the Sceptre gold challenge, all situated in Northern Saskatchewan.
ALX is planning a 2024 summer time exploration program at its Hydra Lithium Mission within the James Bay area of Quebec, a three way partnership with Forrestania Sources Ltd., which features a prospecting and geological mapping program to find pegmatite our bodies within the discipline as a follow-up to ALX’s 2023 exploration actions.
ALX additionally holds pursuits in a number of uranium exploration properties in Northern Saskatchewan, together with the Gibbons Creek uranium challenge comprising eight claims protecting 13,864 hectares. The corporate has accomplished its 2024 winter drilling program that consisted of 5 holes totaling 905.4 meters. 4 of the 5 holes have uranium mineralization at or close to the unconformity, based mostly upon hand-held scintillometer readings on the drill core, downhole gamma probe outcomes, and visible statement of uranium minerals. Analytical outcomes are pending.
“Strolling Magazine” survey method on the Gibbons Creek Uranium Mission in 2023
ALX has a 20 % curiosity within the Hook-Carter Uranium Mission through which Denison Mines (NYSE:DNN) owns 80 %. Denison has funded roughly $7 million in exploration so far. The property is topic to sure royalties held by underlying distributors.

Key Initiatives
Hydra Lithium Mission
ALX Sources owns a 50 % curiosity within the Hydra Lithium Mission within the James Bay area of Quebec, Canada. The remaining 50 % curiosity is owned by Forrestania Sources (ASX:FRS). The challenge includes eight sub-projects totaling 29,262 hectares. Hydra’s sub-projects embody Volta (4,751 hectares), Echo (5,566 hectares), Nike (2,462 hectares), Sprite (3,437 hectares), Cobra (4,249 hectares), Viper (1,280 hectares), Python East (3,218 hectares) and Python West (4,298 hectares), Hydra is situated in a world-class lithium exploration district that hosts a number of vital lithium-cesium-tantalum (LCT) kind pegmatites.
2024 Summer time Exploration Program
Planning for 2024 summer time exploration on the Hydra lithium challenge is underway which features a prospecting and geological mapping program, designed to find pegmatite our bodies within the discipline as a follow-up to ALX’s 2023 exploration actions at Hydra which highlights the next:
- Python West: 30 samples collected with pattern #F435054 taken from a pegmatite boulder returned 278 elements per million (ppm) lithium, 575 ppm cesium and 865 ppm rubidium. Constructive geochemical ratios had been calculated and are interpreted as pathfinders for LCT pegmatites: Ok/Rb (17.1), Ok/Cs (26) and Nb/Ta (2.1);
- Python East: 15 samples collected and pattern #F435156 taken from a pegmatite boulder returned 387 ppm lithium, 24.5 ppm cesium and 326 ppm rubidium;
- Sprite: 27 samples collected. Two samples collected from granitic and paragneiss outcrops samples returned lithium and rubidium values over 100 ppm;
- Volta: 21 samples collected. Biotite crystals had been described in a single outcrop pattern that additionally confirmed orange luminescence beneath ultraviolet mild that will recommend a fertile setting for LCT pegmatites. Comply with-up in 2024 is deliberate.
- Echo: 1 pattern collected. Prospecting in 2023 was impeded by fires, climate situations and schedule constraints. Comply with-up on first-priority targets detected by distant sensing is deliberate for 2024.
- Cobra: 10 samples collected. Comply with-up on second-priority targets is deliberate for 2024.
- Nike: 2 samples had been collected. Comply with-up on second-priority targets is deliberate for 2024.
- Viper: No samples had been collected. An airborne reconnaissance survey was carried out. Comply with-up on second-priority targets is deliberate for 2024.
2023 Pegmatite pattern from Python West
Gibbons Creek Uranium Mission
ALX Sources accomplished a diamond drilling program within the winter of 2022 within the Northern Athabasca Basin, close to Stony Rapids, Saskatchewan. This system comprised three holes, accomplished for a complete of roughly 1,240 meters, atop two beforehand untested anomalies.
Drill gap GC22-01, alongside the southwestern portion of the Zinger Conductor, intersected excessive within the sandstone column, mineral alteration together with pyrite, siderite, and bleaching, and low angle to core axis fracture zones that recommend a steep-dipping construction might challenge to the sub-Athabasca unconformity at an approximate downhole depth of 345 meters.
Drill gap GC22-02 examined the northeast part of the Zinger pattern. It revealed discrete elevated gamma probe peaks that happen between 293.7 and 300.9 meters. Geochemical evaluation of the samples collected over these horizons will assist to find out the importance of those peaks.
ALX has accomplished its 2024 winter drilling program at Gibbons Creek which aimed to check for continuity of uranium mineralization first found in 1979 by Eldorado Nuclear and ALX in 2015. 5 holes totaling 905.4 meters had been accomplished with 4 of the 5 holes intersecting uranium mineralization at or close to the unconformity. Mineralization discovered within the 2024 drilling was intersected in two areas situated 500 meters aside inside a goal space that ALX outlined in late 2023 by a high-resolution magnetic survey and a soil fuel hydrocarbon survey.
Shut-up of uranium mineralization in core pattern from gap GC24-04 – peak radioactivity (8,662 cps) at 107.87 meters.
Hook Carter Mission
The Hook-Carter challenge consists of 11 claims protecting 25,115 hectares within the southwest nook of the Athabasca Basin. The challenge has glorious potential to host financial uranium deposits. Hook-Carter is interpreted to host the northeastern strike extension of the Patterson Lake Hall, which hosts Nexgen Power’s Arrow uranium deposit, Fission Uranium’s Triple R uranium deposit and Purepoint Uranium’s Spitfire, Hornet and Dragon zones, that are in a three way partnership with Cameco Company and Orano Canada. Hook-Carter additionally overlies the interpreted strike extension of the Carter and Derksen corridors, every extremely potential, under-explored hall through which vital uranium mineralization might exist.
The 2023 ZTEM survey efficiently outlined historic conductors at Hook-Carter and resolved new conductors in deeper terrain that weren’t recognized by earlier geophysical surveys.
