(TSXV:STND, BUY (S), David A. Talbot) has commenced an initial drill program on its 100%-owned Sun Dog uranium project in the NW Athabasca Basin. It will consist of ~10 diamond drill holes (3,000m) to follow up on high-grade uranium mineralization, while high-resolution ground gravity and UAV magnetic surveys are expected to refine existing high-priority drill targets. This drilling campaign should focus on the Skye, Haven, and Java target areas, and should explore several kilometers of graphitic conductors coincident with cross-cutting faults and historical surface and drill hole intersections of high-grade uranium mineralization. It will also test the down-dip extensions of structures hosting mineralization at surface with the aim of discovering high-grade basement mineralizing systems underlying the Athabasca sandstones. Ice road access to the project is currently underway, and geologists and drill crews are due to mobilize by the last week of February 2022. Drilling is expected to commence during the first week of March 2022. Sun Dog hosts all of the favorable characteristics of an Athabasca-style unconformity-related uranium deposit, and despite positive historical exploration results, the project has not been drill tested in 14 years.

Moreover, Standard Uranium has appointed Sean McGrath as President, effective February 7, 2022. Mr. McGrath has over 25 years experience as a mining executive, conducting work at both exploration and producing-stage mining companies throughout his career. He will be working alongside the company’s CEO, Jon Bey, as Standard Uranium continues to advance its portfolio of uranium projects in the Athabasca Basin. Read more |
