Myriad Provides Update Regarding the Recent Situation in Niger and Its Ongoing Geophysics Program
Vancouver, July 27, 2023 - Myriad Uranium Corp. (CSE: M) ("Myriad" or the "Company") announces that Myriad personnel are safe and operations have been unaffected by yesterday's coup d'etat in Niger. The Company's current high resolution magnetometer and magnetotellurics (AMT) surveys along the Azouza fault within the Afouday licence continue uninterrupted. 2,452 kilometres of 50m-spaced magnetometer lines have been flown, with an additional 517 line-kilometres planned at Afouday before we pause on or before August 10th.
Myriad's CEO Thomas Lamb stated "We strongly echo the recent statements of our fellow Canadian companies Goviex and Global Atomic regarding Niger: We believe in the potential of the country and its people. We remain dedicated to contributing to its social and economic development. Niger has been a pro-mining country for over 5 decades, and despite periodic changes in government, has never experienced an interruption in its uranium mining activities. This long-standing stability in the mining sector is a testament to the country's resilience and its commitment to development. Myriad hopes for a quick and peaceful resolution of the current situation and reaffirms its commitment to Niger and its people.
Our teams in the capital Niamey and in the field near Agadez report that the situation is calm, that their work is uninterrupted, and that ongoing geophysics work is generating highly promising data along the Azouza Fault within the Company's Afouday licence. This area within Afouday was the focus of particular attention by Areva. They drilled relatively shallow holes around but not into the fault, and then shot seismic lines which indicated potential untested uranium traps. Again, they never tested the Azouza fault itself and these potential traps, which is exactly what Myriad intends to do. The French ran out of time to emulate nearby Global Atomic.
We note that the rainy season has commenced which can reduce line-kilometre production and will result in us pausing on approximately August 10th, but the data being produced is even better and more compelling than we'd expected. We are as excited as ever about our potential to make world-class discoveries near Dasa and Imouraren."
