Nine drill holes, for a total of 3,000 m, are planned within one kilometre of the past-producing high-grade nickel mine. The program is designed to test several different target concepts that will provide new geological information to help advance the Manibridge project to the next stages of exploration (Figure 2). This drilling program is being solely funded by Metal Energy Corp. as part of a staged earn-in option agreement. CanAlaska is the current operator on the project.

CanAlaska CEO, Cory Belyk, comments, "With the price of nickel taking off and nickel inventories at an historic low, now is the time to advance high-grade sulphide nickel projects such as Manibridge to the next level of exploration and investment. We are excited to be part of the inaugural drilling program under this new option agreement with Metal Energy. With CanAlaska's extensive Thompson Nickel Belt holdings, our shareholders are well positioned to take advantage of the increasing nickel market fundamentals."

Terra Clean Energy Ramps Up Summer Drilling Plans, Eyes Resource Update

Terra Clean Energy (CSE:TCEC,OTCQB:TCEFF,FWB:C9O0) President and CEO Greg Cameron outlines the company's upcoming summer drill program at the South Falcon East uranium project, building on strong results from a winter campaign at the Fraser Lakes B deposit.

“The plan is to get up to 2,500 meters back into this new area of interest. Hopefully drill into what we're defining as an unconformity basement-hosted uranium deposit with significantly higher grade than we currently have,” he said.

“We would have the ability to update that resource report in some fashion, maybe early 2026 or mid-2026, so those are the two key catalysts. But it's all about drilling and adding pounds to the current resource and, more importantly, significantly enhancing that grade which we think we have," Cameron added.

15 Uranium Companies Exploring Canada's Athabasca Basin

Uranium market watchers know that Canada’s Athabasca Basin is among the world’s richest uranium jurisdictions and hosts several of the highest-grade uranium deposits on the planet.

Spanning close to 100,000 square kilometers of the Canadian Shield of Northern Saskatchewan and Alberta, the Athabasca Basin is a major contributor to Canada’s status as the second largest uranium producer and the third largest country by uranium reserves.

Unsurprisingly, the region is home to the world’s largest uranium mine, Cigar Lake. The mine reports average grades of 14.69 percent U3O8 and accounts for 14 percent of global uranium production.
