Standard Uranium (TSX-V:STND) reports anomalous uranium across all nine drill holes from its maiden program at the Corvo Uranium Project in northeastern Saskatchewan, Canada.
The winter 2026 drilling campaign returned 55m of ‘weakly anomalous’ uranium above 10 parts per million (ppm), including 23m above 50ppm and 13m above 100ppm across 2,457m of drilling.
President Sean Hillacre says the results emphasise the widespread prospectivity of the project.
“We have created models of uranium-enriched rock packages, structures, and associated hydrothermal alteration, which really add scale and context to the fertile system we are just beginning to test at Corvo,” Hillacre says.
Drilling confirmed anomalous uranium pathfinder elements including vanadium, cobalt, copper, and nickel consistently associated with elevated uranium across all holes at the Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Tribeca target areas.
Geochemical analysis returned uranium to thorium ratios averaging 1.5–5 and locally as high as 12–21. Lead isotope ratio calculations showed 206Pb/204Pb ratios averaging 147 from 405 samples, with 27 samples above 400 and a maximum of 5,100.
Drilling intersected key characteristics of a multi‑kilometre uranium‑bearing system across the three target areas.
Standard Uranium operates the project under a three‑year earn‑in option agreement with Aventis Energy, which funded the winter program. The project is located near Wollaston Lake outside the current Athabasca Basin margin.
