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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A highly respected exploration geologist, Matthew Schwab played a leading role in the discovery of NexGen’s Arrow deposit and contributed to Hathor’s Roughrider (acquired by Rio Tinto for $654 million). He previously served as CEO of Kraken Energy.
Darren Slugoski is a geologist with a B.Sc. Honours from the University of Saskatchewan. He has over 10 years of Basin-focused experience, including involvement in the Spitfire and 2021 Gemini discoveries.
With 20+ years of capital markets experience, Knox Henderson is the former investor relations lead for Great Bear Resources (acquired by Kinross for $1.8 billion) and Kodiak Copper. His background is in trading and journalism.

HIGHLIGHTS
Caspin’s Managing Director, Mr Greg Miles, commented “These results are an exciting epilogue to our maiden drilling program at the Bygoo Project. We are delighted with intersecting 16m @ 0.68% Sn in our first drill hole at Smith’s, including a high-grade zone of 5m @ 1.73% Sn, coupled with 1.45% Cu, the highest-grade copper result by Caspin to date. Another 100m-plus intersection of tin mineralisation at Stewart’s also confirms continuity of ‘bulk’ mineralisation, at very shallow depths. And finally, a new zone of tin mineralisation at ‘Radius’ result demonstrates verifies Caspin’s geological model and growing understanding of key controls to tin mineralisation.
“Most importantly, we now recognise the tin mineralisation potential over greater than 1,000m of shallow granite contact strike at Bygoo North. Drilling is quickly demonstrating that Bygoo North has excellent potential to grow into a tin project with substantial scale. Drilling will continue to target new zones of tin mineralisation and extensions of known areas of shallow tin mineralisation along strike.”
Since acquiring the project, the Company has invested considerable time to understand the geology and controls on mineralisation at Bygoo North. Using the previous exploration data as a base and steadily importing other legacy data such as drilling from the 1970s, the Company is developing a new geological model for the prospect. The Ardlethan Granite contact can now be traced over 1,000m at the prospect, with greisen-style mineralisation developed variably along its entirety (Figure 1).
Figure 1. Location plan of mineralisation and relationship to granite contact at Bygoo North, with significant intercepts. The prospective granite horizon represents the potential for greisen mineralisation on the granite contact to approximately 100m below surface.
These latest results provide further evidence that mineralisation is constrained only by drilling. There are obvious additional drill targets for further exploration. A planned high-resolution aerial magnetic survey, commencing in the following weeks, will further assist refinement of the geological model and hence the targeting process, particularly the several kilometres of untested granite contact to the north and south.

The PFS highlights the project's exceptionally strong economics and outlines a pathway for Lake Hope to become a global supplier of low-cost, low-carbon HPA, benefiting both the local Ngadju Aboriginal Native title holders and the broader community. The robust economics stem from the unique characteristics of the Lake Hope deposit, which facilitate cost-effective mining and processing.
The PFS confirms that, to the best of Impact's knowledge based on published data, the Lake Hope project could be among the lowest-cost producers of HPA globally, potentially by a significant margin of at least 30%.
Given these strong fundamentals, Impact will issue 120 million shares, escrowed for 12 months, to exercise its option to acquire an 80% interest in Playa One Pty Ltd, which owns the Lake Hope assets and intellectual property, including two patents for metallurgical processes (ASX Release March 21st 2023).
Work will now commence on a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS), which will include the construction of a pilot plant to produce HPA samples at scale for discussions on offtake agreements. The pilot plant project, currently underway, will be part-funded by the recent federal government grant awarded to Impact Minerals in collaboration with CPC Engineering and Edith Cowan University (ASX Release October 22nd 2024).
In addition, as part of these studies, Impact will focus on the potential integration of the Lake Hope ore and its associated metallurgical processes with the assets and intellectual property related to the HiPurA process, which were recently acquired through Impact’s 50% share in Alluminous Pty Ltd (ASX Release April 23rd 2025).
As the acquisition occurred near the end of the PFS, the study only pertains to Lake Hope as a stand-alone project and does not consider integration with HiPurA. Impact believes the HiPurA acquisition will accelerate the Company’s entry into the HPA market by several years, potentially enhancing the economics of the combined projects.
Lake Hope PFS Summary
Impact Minerals’ Managing Director, Dr Mike Jones, said, “The Lake Hope PFS clearly demonstrates that Impact Minerals is now on the cusp of delivering a significant, low-cost and highly scalable HPA project. In just over two short years since acquiring the rights to the project, we have proven that Lake Hope’s unique natural feedstock, combined with a straight-forward flowsheet, offers one of the most capital-efficient and environmentally responsible pathways to high-purity alumina production globally. The Project’s strong margins, minimal carbon footprint, and ability to deliver 4N product without critical reagents or complex processing provides us with a clear competitive advantage as the HPA market enters a phase of rapid growth.”
“Importantly, the PFS positions Lake Hope to potentially be the upstream foundation of our vertically integrated HPA business. Through our recent acquisition of a 50% interest in Alluminous Pty Ltd and the HiPurA® downstream processing technology we are now accelerating plans to seamlessly integrate Lake Hope feedstock with HiPurA’s potentially modular HPA production capacity. This unique model offers Impact the flexibility to scale production in line with market demand and customer qualification, while minimising capital intensity and de-risking the path to early revenues.”
“With the PFS now complete, our next steps are clear: we will advance the detailed engineering required to bring Lake Hope into production, which will revolve around our exciting federal government co-funded membrane research project now underway in conjunction with Edith Cowan University and CPC Engineering. We believe very significant improvements to our flow sheet will emerge from that work. We will also progress approvals and initiate off-take discussions. At the same time, we will help fund and rapidly develop the HiPurA® modular production pathway to establish near-term capacity and position Impact as a differentiated, vertically integrated supplier of high-purity alumina to the global market. The opportunities in front of us are significant and today marks a major milestone in what is shaping up to be an exciting future for Impact Minerals and our shareholders.”

Vancouver, Canada, June 12, 2025 TheNewswire - Electrum Discovery Corp. (" Electrum " andor the " Company ") (TSX-V:ELY | FRA:R8N | OTC:ELDCF) is pleased to announce results of recent ground magnetic survey at its 100% owned Timok East Copper-Gold Project (" Timok East " andor the " Project ") located in the prolific West Tethyan Belt in the Republic of Serbia.
Highlights:
|
Dr Elena Clarici, CEO and President of Electrum commented: "The ground magnetic survey has significantly improved our understanding of the structural and geological architecture at Timok East. The results confirm the northward continuation of the Bambino trend, where magnetic highs are spatially associated with copper anomalies in both soil and rock samples, extending into previously untested ground. We are also encouraged by the definition of the Western Mag target, which aligns with key volcanic units and structural features known to host porphyry-style systems in the region. The identification of a new magnetic anomaly along a limestone–sandstone boundary, with no history of exploration, presents an exciting new target. These findings will guide our next phase of fieldwork and targeting as we continue to advance the Timok East project."
The ground magnetic survey covered 59 square kilometres across the Makovište and Luka licences, comprising a total of 280 line-kilometres. Line-spacing was 300 meters with more detailed 150 meter line-spacing over prioritized target areas (see Figure 1).

Initial interpretation of the data highlights several key trends and targets:
Bambino Trend
A prominent magnetic-high anomaly extends northward from the Bambino area, coinciding with zones of elevated copper in soil and copper, gold, and silver in rock samples along a NNW trending structurally controlled corridor. The anomaly intensifies toward the north, coinciding with the Northern Skarn target and continuing beyond the limits of current exploration into the Luka area (see Figure 1). Further north, the magnetic response strengthens across mapped lithological boundaries, indicating that the anomaly is not solely attributable to lithological contrast, but may reflect magnetite-bearing hydrothermal alteration (see Figure 2). This magnetic feature supports the potential for a wider zone of magnetite enrichment potentially related to widespread skarn-style or intrusion-related alteration along the entire Bambino trend.
Western Mag Target
The ground magnetic survey has provided additional resolution to regional datasets, refining the geometry and structure of the Western Mag target. The anomaly is defined by a segmented magnetic high extending along a major NNW-trending corridor coinciding with Phase 1 andesitic volcanic rocks along a regional extensional fault— a geological setting that hosts several major porphyry copper deposits within the Timok region. The magnetic response includes multiple linear highs that may correspond to magnetite-bearing alteration zones or magnetite bearing phase one andesites, consistent with the potential for skarn or porphyry-style mineralisation. Structural intersections along the corridor provide additional to prioritise follow-up exploration.
New Limestone BoundaryTarget
A newly defined linear magnetic-high anomaly has been delineated along the westerly dipping contact between Jurassic limestones and Palaeozoic conglomerates and sandstones. This feature coincides with a geologically favourable setting for skarn or carbonate replacement (CRD) style mineralisation. With no recorded historic exploration in this area, it represents a high-priority target for follow-up fieldwork (see Figures 1 & 2).
Data Integration and Target Refinement
3D inversion of the magnetic data is under way and will be integrated with previous geophysical, geological and geochemical datasets to improve subsurface understanding and assist in refining priority targets ahead of follow-up field programs.
