Baselode Energy Corp. (TSXV:FIND, BUY (S), David A. Talbot) announced the appointment of Mr. Cameron MacKay to the role of VP, Exploration & Development, having previously served as Project Manager for the company since November 2020. During his time with Baselode, he managed the technical and logistical requirements for advancing the company’s portfolio of 100%-owned uranium projects in the Athabasca Basin, and played an instrumental role in the recent discovery of the ACKIO zone (read more). He previously spent five years with Purepoint Uranium Group (TSXV:PTU, BUY (S), C$0.25 target, David A. Talbot), where he helped to delineate the Spitfire uranium prospect. Mr. MacKay is a registered professional geoscientist, and holds a M.Sc. in Geology from the University of Saskatchewan. In our view, his appointment comes at an important time for Baselode; the company is planning to start a 10,000m drilling program at Hook focused on the ACKIO target in January 2022, and plans to begin drilling its Catharsis project in Q2-Q3/21. Further, Baselode recently received drilling permits for its Shadow project (read more), and while we have not seen any formal plans to begin drilling Shadow next year, we would not be surprised if the company opted to do so.
