  TICKER SYMBOLS: TSX:LAM; ASX:LAM; OTCQX:LMRXF  

 

Laramide Resources Ltd. (" Laramide " or the " Company ") (TSX: LAM) (ASX: LAM) (OTCQX: LMRXF) is pleased to announce it has commenced a helicopter supported reconnaissance stream and soil sampling program designed to test for uranium, gold and a suite of other precious and base metals, hosted within favourable geological units on ELs 9319 and 9414 in the Northern Territory. These tenements comprise the Murphy Project ("Murphy" or "the Project") and the current program is the first one undertaken by Laramide since completing the acquisition of Murphy from Rio Tinto Exploration ("RTX") on October 22 2020.  Laramide had previously been in a joint venture earn-in agreement with RTX and, since its involvement with the Project, has commissioned several different types of airborne geophysical surveys including combined magnetics-radiometrics, time-domain electromagnetics, and gravity gradiometry surveys.  A 43-101 technical report incorporating all of these results was filed on May 22, 2020 .

 

The strategically located Project consists of 683.5 km 2 of granted exploration tenure, which lies contiguous to and along strike from Laramide's Westmoreland Project in northwest Queensland .  The Northern Territory of Australia is a jurisdiction that is supportive of both uranium development and mining and hosts several well-known deposits including the Ranger Mine which produced in excess of 120,000 tonnes of U 3 O 8 over a 35-year period. The Murphy Uranium Province itself produced high-grade uranium during the 1950s and stands out amongst the world's attractive underexplored uranium provinces, having not seen any meaningful exploration since the 1970s.

The current program will be comprised of approximately 80 stream samples over EL9414 (only) and 15 to 20 soil traverses (approximately 300 soil samples), covering radiometric anomalies on both leases. The stream sediment samples comprise a 50 – 100g sample of -80# material sieved down from a 1 – 2kg / -10# bulk. The soil samples will be collected at 200 m along 1 to 2 km long traverses. The program is expected to be completed in 3-4 weeks' time and results of the geochemistry and general reconnaissance undertaken are intended to inform an initial drilling program on Murphy which is planned for the next field season in 2022.

 

The Murphy leases are located on Aboriginal Land Trust land owned by the Waayni and Garawa people and, prior to commencement of the current program, Laramide sought and received the approval of the traditional owners through the Northern Land Council.  The traditional owners are also represented on the field team currently carrying out the sampling program.

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.

Uranium broke out in 2024, with the spot price rising to a 17 year high of US$106 per pound early in the year. Despite a pullback to about US$78, uranium is still more than 40 percent higher than it was two years ago.

Although the market is dealing with ample supply and uncertain demand in 2025, experts are predicting a bright future as countries around the world pursue energy security goals.

Against that backdrop, ASX-listed uranium companies have been making moves in 2025.
