Systematic testing of priority targets continues, guided by integrated geophysics, structural interpretation, and the drilling data generated to date.Building on the extensive exploration work completed to date, Stallion Uranium is advancing a systematic, data-driven exploration strategy designed to refine existing targets and unlock additional discovery opportunities across its highly prospective uranium portfolio. Incorporating results from the Company’s recent drilling programs, Stallion will recalibrate and enhance its geophysical models to improve the interpretation of subsurface structures and potential uranium mineralization controls.This work will be complemented by a series of targeted geophysical surveys, geochemical data collection, and integrated geological and geophysical modelling to further refine the Company’s exploration framework. These initiatives will support and augment the ongoing drill campaign, strengthen the technical understanding of priority exploration corridors, and generate a pipeline of additional high-priority, drill-ready targets, positioning Stallion to systematically advance its exploration portfolio and maximize its potential for new uranium discoveries.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.Michelle Roth, Interim CEO of Stallion, commented: “Axiom brings an accomplished team of geologists and geophysicists to Stallion, and with Atha supporting them in an advisory role, we have the technical depth to advance our exploration efficiently and make every dollar count for shareholders.

Atha maintains one of the largest cumulative exploration packages in the Athabasca Basin, and will serve as technical advisor to Axiom.
