The program will consist of approximately 5,850 m of diamond drilling in 13 holes.

Jon Bey, President, CEO and Chairman states, "The greatest value an exploration company can bring to its shareholders is making a high-grade discovery. We believe our Davidson River Project has incredible potential and we are excited to get back to drilling our Warrior and Saint trends this winter. We have assembled an outstanding exploration team, with direct experience at making discoveries in this region."

Sean Hillacre, Project Geologist and Exploration Program Manager notes, "The Phase II targets we have developed for the 2021 drill season are very encouraging. I am looking forward to what the Standard team can achieve next year armed with the technical information gained from our Phase I drilling. We are fully permitted and funded, and now with Board approval we are ready to continue advancing exploration towards discovery."

The Phase II 2021 Drill Program will be split into two segments where, a winter road-based drill program will follow-up on previous holes along the Warrior Trend, and the first ever drill testing of the Saint Trend. The second segment will comprise a summer fly-in program to drill test the Bronco Trend, which has also never been previously drilled. (See Figures 1 and 2).

The objective of the Phase II drill program is to make a high-grade uranium discovery by following-up on results from the inaugural Phase I drill program, and to begin exploration on untested corridors. Please see the Company's news release dated November 25,   2020 that describes encouraging drill results from the 13 holes completed between August 4 th and September 19 th , 2020.

The majority of the work for the Phase II drill program at Davidson River will be completed using a winter road built over frozen ground conditions in order to reduce exploration costs as compared to helicopter access. The work on the road is expected to begin the second week of January 2021, depending on weather and local COVID-19 conditions. The Company is planning to use Aggressive Drilling Ltd. for the road work and drill program given their professional execution conducted throughout the summer of 2020.

The Company plans to use the Big Bear Lodge located on Grygar Lake as its base camp for the duration of the exploration program. "It is extremely important for us to partner with the local communities and ensure that it is safe to proceed with the proposed drill program. We will follow best practices for working safely and will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation," stated Neil McCallum, VP Exploration.

Davidson River Phase II Drilling Program Summary:

  • Objective is to make a basement hosted high-grade uranium discovery
  • 5,850 m planned in approximately 13 drill holes
  • Road construction to begin the second week of January 2021
  • Drilling to begin February 1 st , 2021
  • Follow-up drilling on the Warrior corridor with vectoring information gained during the Phase I program

Uranium Night at PDAC Raises $10,000 for Charity

At this year’s Uranium Night at the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) convention, the event's sponsors secured a $10,000 donation for the charity Haven Family Connections.

With the uranium sector having its hottest season in years, there was much to celebrate at the event, which was held on March 4 at the Lucky Clover Irish Pub in Toronto. Early in the year, the uranium spot price broke through the US$100 per pound level for the first time since 2007, rising to a 16 year high of US$106 as demand continued to outpace supply.

Although the price has since pulled back to the US$90 level, industry experts still predict a bright future for the energy commodity as countries around the world pursue nuclear power as a strategy for meeting clean energy goals.
