Drilling Commences at Mkuju Uranium Project

Gladiator Resources Ltd (ASX: GLA) (Gladiator or the Company) is excited to announce that diamond core drilling commenced on 10 June 2024, at our 100% owned Mkuju Uranium Project in southern Tanzania.


  • Drilling has commenced at the SWC target where 2023 surface trench results gave vertical intervals including peak intervals of 2.55m @ 2017ppm U3O8, 0.75m @ 7139ppm U3O8, 2.35 @ 1636ppm U3O8 and 1.4m @ 3945ppm U3O81.
  • The program is also planned to test possible extensions to the Mtonya and Likuyu North uranium deposits with the aim of demonstrating opportunity to expand these deposits.
  • On-site gamma-ray logging equipment will be used to identify potential mineralised zones and establish their relative intensity.

Figure 1 provides an updated indicative timeline for the exploration program. Drilling commenced early June as planned, starting at the SWC target where 2023 trenches intersected up to 7139ppm U3O8. After SWC the rig will move over to Mtonya and Likuyu North (Figure 2) where drilling will test potential extensions and new zones at these existing uranium deposits. The final stage of the drilling will be follow-up on the most promising areas. Further details of the program are provided in GLA’s announcement dated 10th May 2024 and those of Q4 2023.

Downhole gamma-ray logging

The Company has purchased downhole gamma-ray logging equipment to provide rapid guidance of the depth of mineralization that may be encountered, and the relative intensity of mineralized intervals, though grade data will not be reported until later once the results of laboratory analyses are received, expected late July onwards.

Ground magnetic survey at Likuyu North

Gladiator has engaged a geophysical contractor to carry out a 375 line-km high resolution ground magnetic survey over a block including the Likuyu North deposit. Surveying began on early in June and be completed with processing early in July. The deposit is broadly controlled by a large structure adjacent to which the Nyota deposit (20 km to the north) is also located. Nyota has a Measured and Indicated MRE of 187 Mt at 306ppm U3O8 containing 124.6 Mlbs U3O8. The magnetic data is intended to improve on the current interpretation of primary and secondary structures and other features that may (directly or indirectly) control the uranium mineralisation. This information may then be used to optimise the drilling plan at Likuyu North.

From Nuclear to Blockchain: How xU3O8 is Reimagining Uranium Ownership

xU3O8 has reached a key milestone with the listing of its uranium-backed token across major crypto exchanges, opening the door for investors to gain direct exposure to uranium at a time when demand is accelerating, said Arthur Breitman, co-founder of Tezos, which provides the blockchain platform for xU3O8.

“xU3O8 is a tokenized asset. It represents tokenized beneficial ownership in uranium oxide,” Breitman explained. “And the platform uranium.io allows people to come in and then buy this tokenized ownership in uranium, which can be interesting for people interested in owning the commodity.”

Breitman also explained the advantages of buying tokenized uranium versus investing in uranium stocks or uranium funds.

Sweden Moves to Lift Uranium Mining Ban Through Legislative Proposal

Sweden has announced plans to lift its seven-year ban on uranium mining, with a proposal to amend the Environmental Code and Minerals Act expected in parliament later this year. If approved, the changes would take effect on January 1, 2026.

The proposal follows the conclusions of a government inquiry completed in December 2024, which recommended that uranium be treated under the same legal framework as other concession minerals.

That recommendation was reviewed by the Council on Legislation in June 2025, clearing the way for parliament to consider a repeal.

Basin Energy Shifts Focus to Uranium Assets with District-scale Potential in Queensland

Basin Energy’s (ASX:BSN) recent acquisition of a significant landholding in the Mount Isa region of Northwest Queensland has propelled the company into Australia's uranium and rare earths exploration landscape, giving investors exposure to a cost-effective, district-scale opportunity, according to the company’s managing director, Pete Moorhouse.

“The Queensland opportunity provides direct exposure for district-scale wins from first-pass drilling with reverse circulation and aircore, so this is relatively cheap drilling on district-scale opportunities. Northwest Queensland, from the jurisdiction (perspective), is a real prime opportunity for critical minerals,” said Moorhouse.

The Basin Energy executive also noted that there are significant government initiatives in place at both the federal and state level to support the region’s growth, as well as recent M&A activity in the uranium space.
