Standard Uranium advances 2026 drill program at Davidson River as Rocas program delivers targets

Standard Uranium CEO Jon Bey joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the company’s exploration strategy, highlighting final-stage planning for its 2026 drill program at the Davidson River Project, alongside promising early results from the Rocas Uranium Project. At Davidson River, the company is preparing to drill across the Warrior, Bronco, and Thunderbird conductor corridors, targeting basement-hosted, high-grade uranium mineralization. These targets lie along the same regional structural trends that host some of the Athabasca Basin’s most significant discoveries, including Arrow Deposit, operated by NexGen Energy Ltd., and the Triple R Deposit, operated by Paladin Energy Ltd.. Bey explained that the upcoming drill campaign will utilize two rigs operating simultaneously, a strategy designed to maximize drilling metres and accelerate the evaluation of what the company considers its highest-confidence targets identified to date on the property. These targets have been generated through the integration of multiphysics datasets, including historical drilling, ground gravity surveys, electromagnetic (EM) conductor mapping, and advanced machine-learning analysis using ALS GoldSpot’s SmartMatch technology. This comprehensive approach has identified distinct density-low anomalies across all three corridors—features interpreted as potential indicators of hydrothermal alteration commonly associated with uranium mineralization. Notably, these anomalies coincide with mapped EM conductors and projected basement fault structures, further strengthening their exploration potential. In parallel, Standard Uranium has completed reconnaissance drilling at its Rocas Uranium Project, totaling 962 metres across four drill holes targeting the Upper Prawn Lake, Southside, and Crab Lake areas. Encouragingly, three of the four holes intersected multiple intervals of anomalous radioactivity exceeding 300 counts per second, with a combined 1.5 metres of composite mineralization identified. Geochemical assay results from the program are currently pending. Bey noted that these initial results provide valuable geological insights and will inform the design of a planned Phase 2 drilling program. The next phase will focus on refining and testing additional regional targets along more than five kilometres of largely untested conductor strike length. With high-priority drill targets defined at Davidson River and promising early-stage results from Rocas, Standard Uranium is positioning itself for an active and data-driven 2026 exploration season aimed at advancing multiple uranium discovery opportunities within Saskatchewan’s prolific Athabasca Basin. #proactiveinvestors #standarduraniumltd #tsxv #stnd #otcqb #sttdf #mining #uranium #DavidsonRiver #RocasProject #UraniumExploration #AthabascaBasin #HighGradeUranium #CriticalMinerals #DrillingProgram #Geophysics #MachineLearning #ALS_GoldSpot #ExplorationUpdate #SaskatchewanMining #ResourceDiscovery #NuclearEnergy
