Bedford Metals Corp. has announced that it has received the necessary exploration permit from the Ministry of Environment for its 2024 prospecting programme at the Ubiquity Lake Uranium Project in Northern Saskatchewan, Canada.
This permit marks a significant milestone, allowing the company to advance its exploration activities as planned.
The previously announced prospecting programme at Ubiquity Lake will include investigating and mapping historic showings and target zones identified through successive geophysical programmes. The claim block will be surveyed with state-of-the-art RS100 scintillometers, and outcrops from high-value targets will be collected and sent for assay.
Peter Born, President of Bedford, commented, “Receiving the exploration permit is a crucial step forward for our Ubiquity Lake project. With this approval, we are set to commence our field activities and validate the promising targets identified in our previous surveys. We are committed to advancing our exploration efforts responsibly and sustainably.”
The 2024 Phase I exploration programme will specifically target UL2014, where a 2014 prospecting and grab rock sampling programme yielded values of 187 ppm U and 449 ppm Th from pegmatitic quartz-rich zones in a granite gneiss outcrop and 678 ppm U and 679 ppm Th from a quartz-rich pegmatitic granitic gneiss boulder.
Additionally, the field crew will prospect Target Zones 1 and 2 (T1 and T2), high-priority anomalies identified through an interpretation of geophysical datasets by Condor Consulting of Lakewood, Colorado.

Decarbonising mining is challenging. While electric and hydrogen solutions show promise, they are still in development and not yet reliable for heavy equipment in demanding environments due to tough conditions and varying infrastructure across regions.
