Standard Uranium reached agreement to option its Atlantic Project in the Athabasca Basin

Standard Uranium Ltd

Standard Uranium CEO Jon Bey joined Steve Darling from Proactive to unveil a significant development for the company: the signing of a term sheet with ATCO Mining, enabling them to acquire a seventy-five percent interest in the 3,061-hectare Atlantic Project situated in the eastern Athabasca Basin. This marks the company's fourth option agreement and positions Standard Uranium as the operator of the project. With over thirty million dollars committed to exploration programs over the next three years and nine million dollars dedicated to exploration in 2024, Standard Uranium is poised for significant advancement. In addition to this milestone, Bey disclosed that the company has made another strategic move through the acquisition of the Harrison uranium exploration project in the southwest Athabasca Basin region of Northern Saskatchewan. Through staking, the Ascent project has been expanded by 3,728 hectares, effectively doubling its size. This expansion brings the company's ownership interests to eleven exploration properties, totaling over 209,867 acres across the uranium-rich Athabasca Basin. Notably, the Harrison project presents a compelling opportunity as it has never undergone drill testing, offering Standard Uranium additional exploration exposure in the southwest Athabasca uranium district. These developments underscore Standard Uranium's strategic focus on expanding its exploration portfolio and advancing its presence in key uranium-rich regions. With a robust exploration budget and an expanded project portfolio, the company is well-positioned to capitalize on opportunities in the uranium market. Stay tuned for further updates as Standard Uranium continues its exploration efforts and seeks to unlock significant value for its stakeholders in the dynamic uranium sector.

Volta Metals assay results from drilling at Falcon West shows high-grade Lithium Zones

Volta Metals Ltd

Volta Metals CEO Kerem Usenmez joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the release of assay results from 11 drill holes completed during the inaugural drill program at the Falcon West Lithium Property, situated in northwestern Ontario, Canada. The assay results revealed the presence of near-surface spodumene-albite pegmatite-hosted lithium, cesium, and tantalum mineralization, with potential for expansion. Usenmez explains that the initial drilling was strategically designed to test the five spodumene-bearing pegmatites identified during Volta's 2023 exploration program, which covered a small section of the vast 13km² property. Remarkably, all 11 boreholes successfully intercepted mineralization in five known pegmatites, with hole FW23-07 encountering blind pegmatite from 47.4m to 59.1m, before concluding at 60.1m depth. The success of the drilling campaign underscores the significant potential of the Falcon West Lithium Project. The data obtained will empower Volta's exploration team to enhance their understanding of the structural orientations of the pegmatites and refine drill-hole design for the upcoming 2024 exploration program. Furthermore, the high-grade lithium results, coupled with strongly anomalous cesium and tantalum, indicate the presence of a substantial LCT mineralized system within the Falcon West Project. Currently, the company is in the final stages of finalizing its 2024 exploration program, which will encompass diamond drilling, mechanized trenching, and additional geochemical sampling. This comprehensive approach underscores Volta Metals' commitment to advancing exploration efforts and unlocking the full potential of the Falcon West Lithium Project.
