Standard Uranium Finalizes Drilling Plans for Its Corvo Project in the Athabasca Basin

Standard Uranium Ltd (TSX‑V: STND, OTCQB: STTDF) has formally completed its drilling and mobilization strategy for the first drill program at its Corvo uranium project in the eastern portion of Canada’s prolific Athabasca Basin. The Corvo project is being advanced under a three‑year earn‑in option agreement with Aventis Energy, under which Aventis can earn a 75% interest by funding C$6 million in exploration expenditures over three years. The initial winter drilling campaign is slated to begin in February 2026, with field crews mobilizing ahead of schedule. The program plans to drill approximately 2,500–3,000 metres across eight to ten holes, focusing on shallow basement‑hosted uranium mineralization. Drilling will target high‑priority areas such as the Manhattan Showing, where earlier surface samples recorded uranium values up to 8.10% U₃O₈. The company will use skid‑supported diamond drilling to test targets within 200–300 metres of the surface and will include a specific hole targeting the northern electromagnetic corridor to explore previously untested conductor zones. Standard Uranium’s president and VP of exploration, Sean Hillacre, expressed enthusiasm for exploring the structural corridors on the project, drawing comparisons to successful regional discoveries like Rabbit Lake. #StandardUranium #AthabascaBasin #UraniumExploration #MiningNews #SlimScan #GrowthStocks #CANSLIM
