Standard Uranium is a Canadian uranium exploration company focused on the Athabasca Basin region of Saskatchewan, Canada. The Company was created in 2017 with the sole intention of making a high grade discovery on its flagship Davidson River Project. The Company has assembled a strong executive team with proven uranium exploration discovery success in the southwest region of the Athabasca Basin. Board member Garrett Ainsworth and VP Exploration Neil McCallum have identified the first drill targets based on extensive geophysical programs completed in 2018 and 2019 including: VTEM, ZTEM, and magnetic surveys.
“We are extremely excited to begin the first-ever uranium targeted drill program on the Davidson River Project,” said Neil McCallum, VP Exploration. “Our teams experience in the Athabasca Basin has allowed us to amass a great deal of knowledge from past exploration success. Our drill targets have been firmed up with multiple coincident geophysical anomalies that show similarities to signatures observed at the Arrow and Triple R Deposits, which are located along trend and within the same domain of rocks as our Davidson Property.”
Standard Uranium’s Davidson River Project is located in the southwest Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan, Canada (fee figure #1), which hosts Fission Uranium Corp.’s Triple R Deposit and NexGen Energy Ltd.’s Arrow Deposit. Standard Uranium has completed two years of exploration programs preparing, identifying and permitting drill targets, and is currently targeting a drill campaign commencing in Q3 2020.
