azincourt uranium presentation december 2014
DESCRIPTION
Azincourt Uranium is a uranium explorer focused on Canada’s Athabasca Basin – the world’s leading source of high-grade uranium. The company’s management team has a strong track record of success and is led by former Cameco Exploration Director, Ted O’Connor. Azincourt recently partnered with the Athabasca Basin’s leading exploration company, Fission Uranium, to explore the highly prospective Patterson Lake (PLN) property. PLN lies in an under-explored area of the Athabasca Basin. It is immediately adjacent to Patterson Lake South – host to Fission’s recent major high-grade discovery. In addition, it is just 30 km south of the UEX/AREVA Anne and Collette uranium deposits near Shea Creek.TRANSCRIPT

14PLN YEAR 2 SUMMER DRILL RESULTSA1 CONDUCTOR SYSTEM- Followed graphitic structural system NW- Structure. Alteration, highly anomalous trace
element signature (B, Ni, Zn, Co, etc)- Uranium mineralization and radioactivity –
proving prospectivity- Follow up planned Winter 2015
