VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / January 6, 2022 / Sassy Resources Corporation ("Sassy" or the "Company") (CSE:SASY)(FSE:4E7)(OTCQB:SSYRF) is pleased to announce that it has signed a binding Letter of Intent (the "LOI") to acquire up to 100% of the drill-ready Highrock Uranium Project from Forum Energy Metals Corp. ("Forum"). Cameco's former producing Key Lake mine, which extracted over 200 million pounds of uranium by open-pit methods at an average grade of 2.3% U3O8 from 1983 to 1997, is located immediately to the north of the Highrock claim boundary.
Mr. Mark Scott, President and CEO of Sassy, commented: "The drill-ready Highrock Project is a potential high impact exploration play that gives Sassy shareholders exposure to a dynamic sector benefiting from the global energy transition driving significant new investment in nuclear demand. This strategic initial foray into uranium makes Sassy the only junior resource company with exploration assets covering Northwest B.C.'s Eskay Camp (home of our flagship Foremore Project), Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin, and the Central Newfoundland Gold Belt - three world class investor-friendly mining districts that provide a rock-solid foundation for Sassy's immediate and longer-term success."
Mr. Mark Scott continued, "Given Ian Fraser's geological background in Saskatchewan, and in the uranium sector, combined with the bold Sassy approach that has served us well in our first 16 months as a public company, I'm confident we'll take Highrock to the next level working with a strong technical team at Forum whose work has set the table for a discovery at this property."
