Standard Uranium has begun drilling at its flagship Davidson River uranium project in the Athabasca Basin in northern Saskatchewan.
The project is expected to last 12 weeks and will include approximately 8,000 meters of diamond drilling across three main areas. The company said this will be the most comprehensive drilling program to date on the Davidson River.
“We are applying a discovery-driven approach to what we believe are the strongest drill targets we have ever achieved in the Davidson River,” said Sean Hillaker, vice president of exploration at Standard Uranium. The process uses the company’s newly integrated ExoSphere Multiphysics survey, which combines ambient noise tomography, horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio analysis, and geogravity measurements into a unified data set.
“The combination of new data, careful geological interpretation and a high-confidence targeting approach gives us tremendous enthusiasm heading into this next phase of exploration,” Hillaker added.
The Davidson River Project covers approximately 30,737 hectares of contiguous claims along structural trends in the Athabasca Basin, a globally important uranium zone known for high-grade basement-hosted deposits. Excavation began on May 29, with crews fully mobilized to the site by June 1.
