American Uranium (ASX:AMU) has received approval from the State of Wyoming’s Land Quality Division to conduct a resource development drilling program at its Lo Herma Uranium Project in Wyoming ahead of a Scoping Study next year.
The company intends to cover 121 drillholes across a 37,500m drilling permit area with the first phase will target resource expansion to the overall resource base from drilling to the north of Mine Unit 1 (MU1) and Mine Unit 2 (MU2).
A second phase of infill drilling will then follow up on boosting the resource estimate from the inferred category to an indicated or measured category within MU1 and MU2.
CEO Bruce Lane says the company is delighted to get started on drilling at Lo Herma after attaining approval.
“The program is targeting an increase of the current 8.57Mlbs (32% indicated) radiometric equivalent triuranium octoxide mineral resource estimate by converting exploration target range mineralisation for Lo Herma which currently stands at 5.6 to 7.1 million tonnes at a grade range of 500 parts per million (ppm) to 700ppm radiometric equivalent triuranium octoxide,” Lane says.
“This work is expected to feed into an updated mineral resource estimate and Scoping Study in 2026 positioning us to deliver value from America’s nuclear energy revival.”
American Uranium, formerly known as GTI Energy, is focused on generating clean fuel to counteract climate change by reducing global greenhouse gas emissions.
