Standard Uranium Provides Drilling Update at its Flagship Davidson River Project

 

Standard Uranium Ltd. ("Standard Uranium" or the "Company") (TSX-V: STND) (OTCQB: STTDF) (Frankfurt: FWB:9SU) is pleased to provide an update on its plans for the upcoming phase II summer drilling program at its flagship 25,886-hectare Davidson River Uranium Project (the "Project"). The Company concluded the Phase II winter program at the Project on March 29, 2021. Based on positive indications from the winter drill program, the Company announced on March 29, 2021 it would quadruple the summer program to 10,000 metres. Full details of the news release can be found on our website .

 

The Company is pleased to announce that Geotech Drilling has been selected as our new drilling partner at the Project. Along with Dahrouge Geological Ltd., Access Helicopters, and the team at Big Bear Lodge, all vendors have been secured and the phase II 10,000 metre summer drill program is slated to commence the first week of June with crews mobilizing the last week of May. The drill program is expected to run the entire summer season, wrapping up in mid-September.

 

The Project is situated in the Southwest Athabasca Uranium District of Saskatchewan, 25 to 30 kilometres to the west of Fission Uranium's Triple R and NexGen's Arrow deposits and encapsulates the inferred continuation of the uranium-fertile Patterson Lake corridor.

Jon Bey, President and CEO comments: "I am very pleased with what we have accomplished at our Davidson River Project. We have a clear vision of where we need to be drilling this summer and have the required permits, community support, and vendors in place to execute. This will be an exceptionally busy summer for exploration companies in all sectors and we are proud to have secured exceptional vendor partners to drive our 10,000 m drill program. The outlook for uranium is bright as more countries move forward to meet their climate change goals with nuclear energy playing a significant role. We are proud to be a part of the clean energy future through the exploration and discovery of high-grade, basement-hosted uranium at Davidson River."

The Company plans to use the Big Bear Lodge located on Grygar Lake as its base camp for the upcoming summer exploration program. The Company has been collaborating with Big Bear Lodge for our last two drilling campaigns and have established a great working relationship with the local community. Chief Teddy Clark of the Clearwater River Dene Nation (the "CRDN") has been supportive of our work programs due to the Company's practice of working closely with local service providers and staff, whenever possible. Support has also been fostered with the commitment to the safety of the local community by exceeding health guidelines relating to Covid-19 management.

 

Sean Hillacre, Project Geologist, commented: "It has been an absolute pleasure working with the CRDN personnel at Big Bear Lodge and we look forward to continuing to grow our strong relationship with local contractors in northern Saskatchewan. It is important for us to partner with local communities and make use of the skills, experience, and talent they bring to our project. In addition, my personal experience with Dahrouge Geological Consulting Ltd. and Access Helicopters has been outstanding, and I am excited to work closely with them and the Geotech Drilling team to make this summer season the most successful yet."

 

  Next Exploration Steps at the Project:  

 
  • The Saint trend has provided promising geological results with only one drill hole thus far. The Company intends to drill this trend first with multiple holes to start the summer program.
  •  
  • Assay results from the 2021 winter drill program are expected to arrive in mid-May and the Company will incorporate those results into planning the follow up drill holes on the Warrior trend.
  •  
  • The southeastern portion of the Warrior trend is expected to be tested where several structural targets lie.
  •  
  • The Company will progress to the next exploration milestone of widening the search to the other exploration corridors on the Project. The Bronco and Thunderbird trends have several targets of interest that were developed during the geophysical surveying of the Project.
  •  

Neil McCallum, VP Exploration of Standard Uranium, states: "With only twenty holes drilled to date on the Project, there are still numerous high priority targets that have yet to be tested. The progression of our exploration to the other exploration trends is an exciting milestone for the project. The targets on all of the trends have me very excited, and I look forward to sharing the results as we make progress."

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.

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.

15 Uranium Companies Exploring Canada's Athabasca Basin

Uranium market watchers know that Canada’s Athabasca Basin is among the world’s richest uranium jurisdictions and hosts several of the highest-grade uranium deposits on the planet.

Spanning close to 100,000 square kilometers of the Canadian Shield of Northern Saskatchewan and Alberta, the Athabasca Basin is a major contributor to Canada’s status as the second largest uranium producer and the third largest country by uranium reserves.

Unsurprisingly, the region is home to the world’s largest uranium mine, Cigar Lake. The mine reports average grades of 14.69 percent U3O8 and accounts for 14 percent of global uranium production.
