Standard Uranium (STND.V) is a junior uranium explorer operating in the Athabasca basin in Saskatchewan, Canada. The Company holds interest in over 209,867 acres in the world’s richest uranium district.
Today, Standard Uranium provided an update on exploration activities on the 19,604-hectare Sun Dog Project which is currently under a three-year earn-in option agreement with Aero Energy Ltd.
The highlights are:
- Expansive and Detailed Survey: The survey will cover the entirety of the Sun Dog project and consist of 3,350 km of flight lines in a grid pattern with 100 m spacing between each flight line. This will allow for prioritization of existing drill targets and generation of additional drill targets.
- Cutting Edge Approach: This survey represents one important modern tool that the technical team is utilizing to maximize high-grade1 uranium discovery efficiency. Much of the survey area is unexplored and unsurveyed by modern methods.
- Shallow Drill Targets: The 2024 drill program aims to cover significant ground, focusing on the most promising of the dozens of shallow targets identified in collaboration with the Aero joint technical committee.
- Fully Funded: Summer drill plans comprise helicopter-supported diamond drilling across the project, focused on high-priority targets refined by the current geophysical work. Specific details on targets and the number of planned holes will be shared as they are finalized in the coming weeks.
Additionally, the Company is pleased to announce the engagement of drilling contractor Team Drilling LP of Saskatoon, SK for the planned Spring/Summer exploration program at the Project, situated on the northern rim of the Athabasca Basin.
“The Aero technical team and I are thrilled to provide these updates to the market as we quickly move towards kicking off our ambitious 2024 exploration season,” said Sean Hillacre, President & VP Exploration for the Company. “We eagerly anticipate receiving the new EM data and will be putting it to work immediately as we refine our high-priority drill targets for this summer. Securing reliable and leading contractors to complete the work is a great step forward as we look to unlock the potential in the Uranium City district with modern exploration techniques.”
