Crispr Therapeutics shares tumble after significant earnings miss
WINNIPEG, Manitoba - Snow Lake Resources Ltd., also known as Snow Lake Energy (NASDAQ:LITM), has commenced the Phase 2 drill program at its Engo Valley Uranium Project in Namibia. The $43.6 million market cap company, which specializes in uranium exploration and development, has reported that drill crews are already on site with the initial holes of the program completed. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains a strong liquidity position with more cash than debt on its balance sheet.
The program is set to include up to 7,500 meters of reverse circulation and diamond drilling. The objective is to establish a drill database robust enough to facilitate the calculation of a maiden uranium mineral resource estimate, expected to be completed in the second half of 2025. This estimate will adhere to the standards of SK-1300.
Snow Lake’s CEO, Frank Wheatley, stated, "Our objectives for Phase 2 are simple - to complete sufficient drilling to allow us to calculate a maiden resource estimate at Engo Valley during the second half of 2025." He also emphasized the importance of new uranium sources to meet the increasing global demand driven by the expansion of nuclear energy production.
The Phase 2 drill program is primarily focused on two target areas within the project, known as the Main Uranium Occurrence (MUO) and the D1 target area. Additional targets identified by a 2024 radon cup survey outside these main focus areas will also be tested, with downhole radiometrics performed on each drill hole.
