Standard Uranium has completed its inaugural drilling program at the Atlantic Project located in the Athabasca Basin in northern Saskatchewan, with anomalous radioactivity encountered in each of the five inaugural drill holes conducted by the company. According to Sean Hillacre, the Vice President of Exploration at Standard Uranium, the findings have revealed multiple zones of elevated radioactivity closely associated with both the sub-Athabasca unconformity and basement structural zones. These discoveries have validated the company's exploration thesis while underscoring the immense potential of the Atlantic Project.
The successful drilling program has positioned Standard Uranium to capitalize on several kilometers of untested strike length remaining across the project area, presenting substantial opportunities for discovery along the E-W conductor system. To enhance its exploration strategy, the company plans to conduct supplementary geophysical surveys over the central claim blocks. These surveys aim to delineate additional target areas for subsequent drilling phases while targeting untested gravity low anomalies identified on the western block in 2022.
As Standard Uranium advances its exploration efforts at the Atlantic Project, the company maintains its commitment to unlocking the region's uranium potential. The completion of the inaugural drilling program establishes a foundation for continued exploration, with optimism surrounding the significant upside potential the project represents within this highly prospective region of the Athabasca Basin.
