Davidson River 2025 Exploration Update
The Company is pleased to provide an update on current exploration activities on its flagship Davidson River Project ("Davidson River" or the "Project") in the southwest Athabasca Basin region, northern Saskatchewan. Beginning on May 26, 2025, Standard Uranium in partnership with Fleet Space Technologies Canada Corp. ("Fleet Space") has begun deploying the first Exosphere Multiphysics surveys in the southwest Athabasca Basin region.
The Multiphysics surveys will collect three types of geophysical data (Ambient Noise Tomography, Horizontal-to-Vertical Spectral Ratio, and Gravity) over three of the four major conductive corridors on the Project. Deployment of the first of three Multiphysics grids is currently underway with new data being collected over one of three targeted conductive corridors on the Project. The Company will provide additional updates as the survey continues throughout June 2025.
About Standard Uranium (TSXV: STND)
We find the fuel to power a clean energy future
Standard Uranium is a uranium exploration company and emerging project generator poised for discovery in the world's richest uranium district. The Company holds interest in over 233,455 acres (94,476 hectares) in the world-class Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan, Canada. Since its establishment, Standard Uranium has focused on the identification, acquisition, and exploration of Athabasca-style uranium targets with a view to discovery and future development.
Standard Uranium's Davidson River Project, in the southwest part of the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, comprises ten mineral claims over 30,737 hectares. Davidson River is highly prospective for basement-hosted uranium deposits due to its location along trend from recent high-grade uranium discoveries. However, owing to the large project size with multiple targets, it remains broadly under-tested by drilling. Recent intersections of wide, structurally deformed and strongly altered shear zones provide significant confidence in the exploration model and future success is expected.
Standard Uranium's eastern Athabasca projects comprise over 42,384 hectares of prospective land holdings. The eastern basin projects are highly prospective for unconformity related and/or basement hosted uranium deposits based on historical uranium occurrences, recently identified geophysical anomalies, and location along trend from several high-grade uranium discoveries.
Standard Uranium's Sun Dog project, in the northwest part of the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, is comprised of nine mineral claims over 19,603 hectares. The Sun Dog project is highly prospective for basement and unconformity hosted uranium deposits yet remains largely untested by sufficient drilling despite its location proximal to uranium discoveries in the area.
