The upcoming drill program follows the completion of what the company describes as the first Exosphere Multiphysics survey in the southwest Athabasca Uranium District, conducted in partnership with Fleet Space Technologies Canada Corp. from May 26 to July 8, 2025.

The survey collected three types of geophysical data across the Warrior, Bronco, and Thunderbird conductor corridors, providing 3D imaging of basement structures and alteration zones to refine drilling targets.

"The newly acquired data from the Multiphysics survey has outlined density anomalies in the basement rock coinciding with known graphitic conductors, which are often indicative of potential zones of hydrothermal alteration of host rocks associated with uranium mineralization events," said Sean Hillacre, President & VP Exploration of Standard Uranium in the press release.

The Davidson River project covers 30,737 hectares in the Southwest Athabasca Uranium District. The company has previously completed 16,561 meters of diamond drilling in 39 holes since 2020 on the property.

Standard Uranium has secured all necessary drill permits and has signed Exploration Agreements with Clearwater River Dene Nation partners for the 4 to 6-week program. With a beta of 2.83, investors should note the stock’s high volatility compared to the market.
