Tisdale Clean Energy To Begin Initial Phase One Drill Program at South Falcon East Uranium Project, Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan

Tisdale Clean Energy Corp.

Vancouver B.C. - TheNewswire - February 8, 2024 – TISDALE CLEAN ENERGY CORP. (“ Tisdale ” or the “ Company ”) (TSXV:TCEC ) ( OTC: TCEFF ) ( FSE: T1KC ), is pleased to confirm its upcoming work program at the South Falcon East Uranium Project which hosts the Fraser Lakes B uranium deposit. The south Falcon East Project lies 18 km outside the edge of the Athabasca Basin, approximately 50 km east of the Key Lake uranium mill and former mine. Tisdale Clean Energy Corp entered into an option agreement with SkyHarbour Resources Ltd in October of 2022 whereby the company can earn up to a 75% interest in the South Falcon East property. The Company is set to begin a preliminary phase one drill program for late winter 2024. The initial phase one program will consist of up to approximately 1,500 meters of drilling. The priority will be to confirm and expand the existing mineralization associated with the Fraser Lakes B Uranium Deposit (Figure 2). Infill drilling will confirm the presence and continuity of existing mineralization in preparation for a current updated resource estimate and 3D model in the future. Step out drilling will endeavor to expand the footprint of the deposit, as the current mineralization is open in all directions. Initial focus will be in extending mineralization along strike and down dip into the basement. A secondary priority will be to begin regional exploration by following up promising anomalies located in the T-Bone Lake area (Figure 2). Regional drilling will focus on the effort to add additional mineralized zones and deposits along the folded structural package that hosts the Fraser Lakes B Deposit. “The commencement of drilling is a milestone in terms of our ability to unlock the value contained at South Falcon,” said Alex Klenman, CEO. “Right now, nobody is getting much credit for those pounds in the ground. This will begin to change as we drill and earn our interest in the project. The initial phase one plan allows us to meet the early obligations of the earn-in with Skyharbour. We are hopeful our valuation will grow as a result, therefore reducing the barrier to entry for institutional support and giving us the opportunity to implement larger drill programs moving forward through 2024 and beyond. “We believe very strongly that both the size and average grade of the resource can be increased. The last holes drilled in 2015 generated U308 values of.172% and.165% over intervals of two meters or more. These results established that higher grade uranium exists within the deposit. We have a very compelling exploration narrative, and one we feel confident in pursuing. No doubt the first steps are the hardest, and we’re pleased we’re able to begin to execute on the plan,” continued Mr. Klenman. “We are thrilled to have Tisdale commence their inaugural drill program at South Falcon East,” said Jordan Trimble, CEO of Skyharbour Resources. “The project is an advanced-stage exploration asset that hosts a near-surface uranium resource with strong expansion potential as well as robust discovery upside potential regionally on the property. We are confident that this winter drill program will unlock further value for both companies’ shareholders with the uranium price trading near sixteen-year highs,” continued Mr. Trimble. The field program is anticipated to commence in late February and will be executed by Terralogic Exploration Inc. under the supervision of Laura Tennent, Project Manager with TerraLogic Exploration, and C. Trevor Perkins, consulting geologist for Tisdale. The drill program will be operating out of Skyharbour’s McGowan Lake Camp with helicopter support for the daily drilling operations. The expected budget for the initial phase one program is anticipated to be $1.25 million.

The project covers approximately 12,464 hectares and lies 18 kilometers outside the Athabasca Basin, approximately 50 kilometers east of the Key Lake Mine. The South Falcon East Project contains the Fraser Lakes B Uranium/Thorium Deposit with a historic mineral resource* of 6.9 Mlbs U3O8 inferred at a grade of 0.03% U3O8 and 5.3 Mlbs ThO2 inferred at a grade of 0.023 % ThO2. Uranium and thorium mineralization discovered to date is shallow classic Athabasca-style basement mineralization associated with well-developed EM conductors. About Tisdale Clean Energy Corp. Tisdale Clean Energy is a Canadian-based uranium exploration and development company. The Company is currently developing the South Falcon East uranium project, which holds a 6.96M pound inferred uranium resource within the Fraser Lakes B uranium/thorium deposit, located in the Athabasca Basin region, Saskatchewan, Canada.

Greatland Gold reveals first drill results from Ernest Giles gold project in Western Australia

Greatland Gold PLC

Greatland Gold PLC managing director Shaun Day joins Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with latest drilling results from the company's Ernest Giles project in Western Australia's goldfields. The 100% owned project spans over 1,950 square kilometres and is notably underexplored, providing a unique opportunity for significant gold discoveries. The area, rich in arcane greenstone, mirrors the geological features of other prolific gold discoveries in the region. Following over five years of efforts to secure First Nations heritage access, Day said Greatland Gold has now commenced drilling, revealing promising mineralization from preliminary tests. The initial drilling phase, supported by the Western Australian Government's EIS programme, included two diamond drill holes totaling 1,300 meters, uncovering mineralization of eight meters at 0.12 grams per ton. Although not indicative of a full ore body, Day said these results are encouraging and lay the groundwork for further exploration. Greatland Gold plans to leverage its expertise in uncovering undercover opportunities, employing geophysics to peer through the cover and identify potential gold deposits. Looking ahead, the company aims to conduct an extensive exploration program in the latter half of 2024, focusing on geophysical surveys to better understand the underlying structures and guide future drilling efforts. ‌ Contact Details Proactive UK Ltd +44 20 7989 0813 uk@proactiveinvestors.com

Foresight Solar Fund reports NAV uplift as it refines solar portfolio

Foresight Solar Fund Ltd

Foresight Solar Fund Ltd fund manager Ross Driver takes Proactive's Stephen Gunnion through a fourth-quarter NAV (net asset value) update, providing an optimistic overview of the fund's performance and strategies amidst challenging macroeconomic conditions. Throughout 2023, the fund achieved record electricity production, exporting over a terawatt of green energy across its UK, Australia, and Spain portfolios, and distributed a record £120 million in cash from its portfolio. Notably, the fund's NAV benefited from £20 million of share repurchases, part of a £40 million share buyback program, one of the largest in the renewable infrastructure sector. This boosted shareholder value by 1.1 pence per share. The divestment of a 50% stake in its Lorca portfolio in Spain contributed further to the NAV uplift, with proceeds used to reduce debt by £30 million. Despite economic challenges, Driver said Foresight Solar remains focused on closing the discount between its share price and NAV, leveraging asset sales and share buybacks to underline the fund's value. The sale of assets, such as the Lorca stake at a 21% premium to NAV, demonstrates the robust valuation of its holdings. The fund is actively pursuing a total shareholder return strategy, balancing high-quality yield with NAV growth. Driver highlighted the sale of the Toucan portfolio in the UK as a significant benchmark, showcasing the fund's conservative yet effective valuation approach. Looking ahead, Foresight Solar plans to focus on development stage opportunities, aiming for sustainable growth and continued NAV improvement.

ETC Group CEO Tim Bevan outlines bullish path for Bitcoin, supported by new ETFs

HANetf Holdings Limited

ETC Group CEO Tim Bevan discusses the significant impact of the US Securities and Exchange (SEC)'s approval of Bitcoin ETFs, enhancing market access and legitimizing cryptocurrencies. This approval led to notable market shifts, including outflows from existing crypto products like the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust and inflows into new ETFs from major financial players such as Fidelity and iShares. Despite initial price weakness following the ETF launch, Bevan attributes this to a natural retracement after Bitcoin's substantial pre-launch appreciation. He anticipates a demand surge, supported by North America's vast financial advisory network, potentially driving over $30 billion into Bitcoin, significantly increasing global Bitcoin product AUM. Bevan also highlighted Europe's likely follow-up on the US's path towards crypto normalisation, driven by the sector's increasing legitimacy. With bullish outlooks on crypto into 2024 and 2025, backed by aggressive price forecasts, Bevan pointed to the Bitcoin halving event as a key factor for future price appreciation, alongside a favorable macroeconomic backdrop and rising geopolitical risks. Furthermore, he noted Ethereum's potential for significant price performance and the possibility of Ethereum ETFs following Bitcoin's regulatory success, marking a pivotal moment for broader cryptocurrency acceptance and investment.

Midstream energy sector likely to continue outperforming - VettaFi

HANetf Holdings Limited

VettaFi Head of Energy Research Stacey Morris provides an optimistic outlook for the midstream energy sector despite a challenging start to 2024. Morris highlighted that the sector continues to experience gains, building on the positive momentum from 2023. She noted that in January, the Alerian Midstream Energy Dividend UCITS ETF, an underlying index for midstream energy, saw a 1.5% increase, outperforming both the US and European energy benchmarks. This growth is attributed to positive dividend announcements, mergers and acquisitions activity, and promising initial fourth-quarter results with a constructive outlook for 2024. Morris emphasised the strong outlook for dividend growth within the midstream space, where nearly half of the index by weighting announced sequential dividend increases from Q3 to Q4. High-profile companies like Enterprise Products Partners and Williams Companies reported significant dividend increases, indicating a trend of robust dividend growth. She also mentioned the sector's attractiveness due to its yield of 7.1% as of February 5, with over 92% of the index by weighting being investment-grade, reflecting the quality and free cash flow-generating capacity of these companies. Looking ahead, Morris expects the current earnings season to continue showing positive results and a constructive outlook for the year. She anticipates modest EBITDA growth and a focus on returning excess cash to investors through buybacks and dividend growth. Overall, Morris remains very constructive on the midstream space for 2024, citing its ability to provide stable cash flows and attractive income amidst volatility in oil and gas prices.
