Investor Insight
Stallion Uranium offers investors a rare opportunity to gain early exposure to a company with one of the largest underexplored land packages in the world’s premier uranium district – the Athabasca Basin – guided by a discovery team with a multi-billion-dollar track record.
Overview
Stallion Uranium (TSXV:STUD,OTCQB:STLNF) is a Canadian uranium exploration company positioned for discovery in the southwestern Athabasca Basin, a frontier zone that holds tremendous untapped geological potential. With a landholding of over 709,000 acres, Stallion controls one of the largest and least explored portfolios among junior explorers in the region.
The company is leveraging a surging uranium demand, driven by more than 900 reactors across the globe currently in operation, construction or planning stages. Amid a uranium supply shortage, the Athabasca Basin, with uranium grades up to 20 times the global averages, represents the best place in the world to find the next major high-grade discovery.What sets Stallion apart is not just its land position, but the pedigree of its team. CEO Matthew Schwab was a key figure in the discovery of NexGen’s Arrow deposit, one of the most significant uranium finds of the past decade.
Over the past two years, Stallion has deployed airborne and ground geophysics across its land package, culminating in the identification of nine Tier-1 uranium targets. The top three – Coyote, Fishhook, and Lynx – have now been prioritized for drilling. Each of these targets exhibits the structural complexity, conductive trends, and gravity signatures characteristic of world-class deposits.
With drilling mobilization planned for H2 2025, a lean share structure, and one of the most technically credible teams in the sector, Stallion Uranium is well-positioned to create significant shareholder value through discovery.

Key Projects
Stallion Uranium controls one of the largest underexplored land packages in the Athabasca Basin, spanning over 709,000 acres in the highly prospective southwestern region. Leveraging advanced geophysical techniques and a proven exploration model, the company has systematically identified and ranked nine Tier-1 uranium targets across this vast portfolio. From this group, Stallion has prioritized three high-potential corridors for near-term exploration, each exhibiting the geological signatures and structural features consistent with major discoveries in the Basin.
Coyote Corridor
Located in the heart of Stallion’s southwestern Athabasca holdings, Coyote was first defined by a 2023 VTEM Plus survey, which revealed intersecting east-west conductors within a structurally complex zone. The Athabasca sandstone here is ~450 meters thick, a sweet spot for unconformity-style uranium systems. A Q1 2025 gravity survey revealed a large gravity low anomaly that mirrors the Arrow deposit's signature. Historical intersections just 12 km south reported up to 255 parts per million (ppm) uranium oxide (U₃O₈), reinforcing the region’s prospectivity. Coyote is currently undergoing 3D inversion modeling and is the company’s first drill target, with a campaign slated for late 2025.
Fishhook Corridor
This 18-km trend remains completely untested by drilling and was delineated using MobileMT surveys. Located along a mineralized corridor where historic assays 8 km south returned 0.139 percent U₃O₈, Fishhook is defined by merging conductive features and massive cross-structures, ideal for uranium fluid trapping. The convergence with the Five of Diamonds Trend underscores the corridor’s structural intensity. With similarities to productive zones in the Basin, Fishhook is poised for follow-up geophysics and potential drill targeting.
Stallion’s high priority targets.
Lynx Corridor
Adjacent to Orano’s Uchrich project, Lynx features a 13-km-long conductor hosted in a magnetic and gravity low, often indicative of the required lithological and alteration conditions. MobileMT data shows complex conductive and magnetic responses, further suggesting active hydrothermal systems. Entirely untested by drilling, Lynx represents a high-quality greenfield opportunity with plans for additional groundwork in 2025.

About UEC’s Yuty ISR Project
The Yuty ISR Project, owned by UEC, covers approximately 117,359 hectares (290,000 acres) and is located about 200 kilometers east and southeast of Asunción, the capital of Paraguay. Positioned within the Paraná Basin, the area hosts several known uranium deposits, including Figueira and Amorinópolis in Brazil. Preliminary studies indicate the deposit is amenable to in situ recovery (“ISR”) — the same low-cost extraction method UEC successfully employs at its operations in Texas.
Modern exploration of the Yuty Project began in 1976, when Anschutz of Denver, Colorado, conducted regional uranium exploration under a joint venture with Korea Electric Power Corporation and Taiwan Power Company. Working under an exclusive concession covering 162,700 square kilometers, nearly the entire eastern half of Paraguay, Anschutz identified multiple target areas, including Yuty. From 1976 to 1983, the company drilled approximately 75,000 meters of core and rotary holes, halting further work due to declining uranium prices.
In July 2006, CUE Resources Ltd. (“CUE”) acquired an option on the Yuty Project and launched its own rotary and diamond drilling campaigns. Between 2007 and 2010, CUE completed 256 drill holes totaling 31,000 meters, ultimately acquiring 100% ownership of the project.
On March 30, 2012, UEC acquired all outstanding shares of CUE Resources Ltd., securing a 100% undivided interest in the Yuty Project.1
Resource Estimates
The current disclosed resource for UEC’s Yuty Project is 8.962 million lbs of U308 Indicated, and 2.203 million lbs of U308 Inferred, which has been finalized in a technical report prepared for UEC titled “Yuty Uranium Project Initial Assessment US SEC Subpart 1300 Regulation SK Report, Paraguay SA” dated July 1, 2022. 2
