Basin Mobilises For Maiden Drilling At Geikie Uranium Project

Basin Energy Limited (ASX:BSN) (‘Basin’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to provide an update on exploration activities at the Geikie Uranium Project (‘Geikie’ or the ‘Project’), located on the eastern margin of the world-class Athabasca Basin in Canada.


Highlights
  • Exploration team and drilling crews have arrived on site to commence maiden drilling program at the Geikie Uranium Project
  • Drilling to target shallow prospects, deemed favourable for high grade uranium
  • First drilling to occur within the Geikie Project area for over 50 years
  • Initial 2,000 metres drilling planned for 8 drill holes
  • Global Uranium sentiment continues to grow with spot prices reaching a 52 week high
  • Basin remains fully funded for a significant 2023 exploration program with $7.3m at 31 March 2023

Drilling contractors and exploration crews are now on site to allow commencement of an initial 2,000 metre diamond drilling program, which has been designed to test features associated with a regionally significant conductor deemed favorable to host shallow, high grade uranium mineralisation. This initial proposed program will consist of eight drill holes, with proposed depths up to 250 metres.

Basin’s Managing Director, Pete Moorhouse, commented:

“Basin has prioritised three prospect areas within the Geikie Project to focus this initial program on, each of which have the fundamental ingredients to potentially host a world class uranium deposit.

The commencement of the summer drilling program comes at the same time as a significant upturn in uranium prices, with recently reported uranium spot prices now nearing a 10-year high.

Basin provides an investment opportunity in a company focused on the discovery of high grade uranium in a world class jurisdiction. We are fully funded allowing us to systematically develop and test our projects, remaining highly leveraged to exploration success.”

Developing High-Grade Uranium Projects in the Athabasca Basin

Basin Energy Ltd  Quarterly Activities Report

Basin Energy Ltd Quarterly Activities Report

Perth, Australia (ABN Newswire) - Basin Energy Ltd (ASX:BSN) (OTCMKTS:BSNEF) is pleased to provide an overview of activities for the period ending 30 June 2025 ('Quarter', or the 'Reporting Period') and an accompanying Appendix 5B.

Key Highlights

- Identified and characterised key structures within historical drill core from North Sweden that appear to be associated with mineralisation seen in surface rock chips:

o Highlights of this mineralisation include rock chip samples over 5.9% uranium oxide, up to 9.8% zinc and greater than 0.3% total rare earth oxides

- 441 drill core samples from 36 historical holes across Basin's North Sweden projects are currently at lab for multi-element assays to support next-stage target definition.

- Key mineralised structures identified through structural relogging across Basin's Scandinavian projects.

- Initiated potential partner discussions with multiple parties to release shareholder value for non-core deeper unconformity uranium targets

- Remain committed to exploring high-conviction shallow uranium and green energy metal projects

Basin's Managing Director, Pete Moorhouse, commented:

"Over the past quarter, our team has been diligently progressing critical groundwork across our North Sweden projects. Structural relogging of historical drill core has now been completed across Virka, Bjorkberget and Ravaberget - with multiple key structures now clearly associated with known mineralised trends. These insights form the backbone of our next stage of exploration targeting.

The confirmation of a polymetallic system that includes uranium grades exceeding 5.9% U3O8 in North Sweden leaves a tantalising opportunity for modern exploration in a re-emerging district.

With Q1's 249D review firmly behind us, we're focused squarely on converting our high-conviction targets into tangible results that create shareholder value, whilst pursuing opportunities to release shareholder value for our non-core deeper targets. As global uranium demand accelerates and Europe prioritises secure, local supply chains, Basin's shallow, low-cost targets in Sweden are emerging as a strategically vital opportunity in a reawakening uranium district."
