Global Uranium Scopes Geophysical Survey Plans in Wyoming Following Successful Datasets and Big Rock Engagement

Rhea-AI Summary

Global Uranium Corp (CSE: GURN | OTC: GURFF) has announced its collaboration with Big Rock Exploration (BRE) to plan geophysical surveys for its Wyoming uranium claims. The initiative follows a Letter of Engagement signed last fall and builds upon successful radiometric datasets collected in summer 2024.

The planned surveys include ground-based and UAV magnetic surveys aimed at mapping subsurface structures important for roll-front uranium deposits. These structures may influence uranium-bearing fluid migration and deposition. The project will focus on key claim areas in the Copper Mountain and Great Divide Basin Districts.

BRE is also conducting a desktop review to consolidate public geospatial data, addressing jurisdictional risk management aspects including land position, access, ownership, and special management areas. The review will help prioritize high-value targets and enhance future field survey designs. Previous radiometric surveys successfully identified elevated gamma radiation zones on the Airline and Big Bend claims.

Geophysical Survey Planning to Enhance Understanding of Global Uranium’s Wyoming Uranium Potential

CALGARY, Alberta, Jan. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global Uranium Corp. (CSE: GURN | OTC: GURFF | FRA: Q3J) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce the initiation of its collaboration with Big Rock Exploration ("BRE") to scope out geophysical surveys for its uranium exploration claims in Wyoming. This engagement follows the signing of a Letter of Engagement with BRE last fall, further advancing the Company’s efforts to evaluate the potential of its strategically located claims.

Big Rock Exploration will assess the feasibility of conducting ground-based and UAV magnetic surveys across Global Uranium’s claim areas, focusing on developing the Company’s exploration strategy for roll-front uranium deposits. The proposed magnetic surveys would aim to map subsurface that are of importance in roll-front uranium systems, as they may influence the migration and deposition of uranium-bearing fluids. By delineating these structures, Global Uranium can continue improving its understanding of the local geological frameworks in each project area to identify high-priority drill targets. This initiative would build upon the radiometric datasets collected during the summer of 2024, which successfully identified zones of elevated gamma radiation on the Airline and Big Bend claims.

In addition to scoping geophysical surveys, Big Rock Exploration is performing a desktop review of the project areas, which consists of consolidating public geospatial data relevant to the project areas to address jurisdictional risk management, including land position, access, surface and mineral ownership, and any special management areas. A review of potential legacy and historical data sources within a buffer around the project areas will follow. Subsequently, potential data sources will be prioritized to ensure that high-value targets are efficiently addressed. The desktop program aims to provide a detailed understanding of the exploration landscape, further de-risking the project and enhancing the design of subsequent field surveys.

“The work in Wyoming is just beginning and we are excited to be working with Big Rock Exploration to build upon the successful datasets we saw with the radiometric surveys last summer,” said Ungad Chadda, CEO at Global Uranium. “We want to determine if combining radiometric and magnetic data will allow us to develop a more robust understanding of the subsurface environment, and provide us the tools we need to make informed decisions as we prepare for the next phase of exploration.”

Global Uranium and Big Rock Exploration will collaborate to define the scope and logistics of the geophysical surveys. The initial focus will include key claim areas in the Copper Mountain and Great Divide Basin Districts, with survey designs tailored to local geological and topographic conditions.
