Standard Uranium Ltd. (TSXV: STND)
A Saskatchewan focused uranium exploration and project generation company advancing a portfolio of high grade uranium discovery targets across the Athabasca Basin. The company’s strategy is centered on generating, refining and drill testing projects with the geological, geophysical and structural characteristics required for major uranium discoveries. Standard Uranium is positioning itself as a discovery leveraged Athabasca Basin platform with a flagship southwest Basin asset, a pipeline of eastern Basin projects, modern targeting technology and exposure to a strengthening nuclear fuel cycle.
Market Focus
Standard Uranium operates within the Canadian uranium exploration market, with a focus on high grade uranium discovery opportunities in Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin. The company is positioned in one of the world’s most important uranium districts, where major deposits and discoveries have historically supported global nuclear fuel supply. Standard’s market exposure is driven by nuclear power growth, uranium supply constraints, energy security needs, AI data center power demand and investor appetite for new high grade uranium discoveries in tier one jurisdictions.
Platform and Strategy
Standard Uranium’s operating model is built on three core pillars.
• Generate and advance uranium exploration projects across the Athabasca Basin that are prospective for high grade basement hosted and unconformity related uranium deposits.
• Drill test refined targets at the flagship Davidson River project in the Southwest Athabasca uranium district, where multiple conductive corridors, alteration zones and structural targets remain underexplored.
• Use modern technology, including GoldSpot machine learning, Fleet Space ANT plus HVSR multiphysics, gravity modeling and geophysical reinterpretation, to improve targeting and increase discovery probability.
Asset Base and Development
• Portfolio of more than 219,000 acres across 51 mineral claims in the Athabasca Basin region of Saskatchewan.
• Flagship Davidson River project located in the Southwest Athabasca uranium district.
• Davidson River is located near major uranium deposits and discoveries including Triple R, Arrow, Spitfire and the JR Zone.
• The Southwest Athabasca district contains more than 400 million pounds of known high grade uranium in existing deposits.
• Davidson River has more than 70 kilometers of prospective exploration trends defined through modern surveys.
• Additional project portfolio includes Sun Dog, Corvo, Rocas, Brown Lake, Sable, Umbra, Atlantic, Canary and Ascent.
• Eastern Athabasca Basin projects total approximately 38,417 hectares across 32 mineral claims and are positioned as joint venture ready.
• Sun Dog covers approximately 19,603 hectares in the historic Uranium City district and is available for option.
• Corvo covers approximately 12,265 hectares and is subject to an active three year option deal.
• Rocas covers approximately 4,002 hectares and is also subject to an active three year option deal.
Operational Advancement
• Davidson River drilling from summer 2020 through summer 2022 totaled 16,561 meters across 39 drill holes.
• Drilling identified strongly graphitic shear zones, clay alteration, dravite alteration, redox fronts and elevated radioactivity across multiple corridors.
• Key Davidson River corridors include Warrior, Saint, Bronco and Thunderbird.
• Multi kilometer portions of the conductive corridors remain to be tested.
• New ExoSphere multiphysics surveys and GoldSpot AI and machine learning technology have been incorporated into drill hole targeting.
• Fleet Space Technologies has generated combined 3D ANT plus HVSR velocity models and constrained ground gravity block models on the Warrior, Bronco and Thunderbird trends.
• Gravity low anomalies interpreted as potential hydrothermal alteration zones have been identified across all three surveyed structural corridors.
• Multiple new Davidson River targets coincide with EM SmartMatch targets generated by ALS GoldSpot using machine learning anomaly matching to the Arrow and Triple R deposits.
• Standard has a three year permit and First Nations agreement signed for follow up work at Davidson River.
Exploration and Growth Pipeline
• Davidson River remains the flagship discovery platform, with follow up drilling planned along refined targets, alteration trends, geochemical vectors and stacked graphitic structures.
• The company plans aggressive step out holes along strike to test additional targets refined by prior drilling and newly staked claims.
• Sun Dog provides additional discovery optionality in the historic Uranium City district.
• Surface sampling at Sun Dog’s Skye target, Java target and Haven discovery returned grab sample results with highs of 3.58 percent U3O8, 1.7 percent U3O8 and 0.7 percent U3O8, respectively.
• At Haven, elevated radioactivity of up to 1,300 counts per second was intersected in the first drill hole in the area.
• Sun Dog mineralization is associated with significant dravite clay alteration, iron oxide alteration and broad structural zones.
• At Wishbone, the 2024 drill program totaled 1,593 meters in eight drill holes.
• Seven Wishbone drill holes targeting shallow high grade basement hosted uranium mineralization intersected anomalous radioactivity above 300 counts per second in graphitic rocks.
• Eastern Basin projects provide multiple shallow discovery targets near known uranium deposits, historical occurrences and recently identified geophysical anomalies.
• Corvo includes three strong northeast southwest magnetic low trends coincident with EM conductors extending approximately 29 kilometers.
• Corvo’s Manhattan showing returned modern outcrop samples up to 8.10 percent U3O8 and was drilled for the first time in 2026.
• Winter 2026 drilling at Corvo totaled 2,457 meters in 10 holes and returned 23 meters of composite anomalous radioactivity above 300 counts per second.
• Rocas includes three strong northeast southwest magnetic low trends coincident with EM conductors extending approximately 7.5 kilometers.
• Rocas has historical uranium showings at surface along a 900 meter strike length in outcrop up to 0.498 percent U3O8.
• 2025 prospecting at Rocas verified uranium up to 0.409 percent U3O8 and identified high grade rare earth mineralization up to 9.83 percent TREO.
• High resolution ground gravity at Rocas has highlighted potential alteration halos and high priority exploration targets that have never been drill tested.
Partnerships and Strategic Positioning
Standard Uranium is strategically positioned across both the southwest and eastern Athabasca Basin, giving the company exposure to multiple discovery environments in Saskatchewan. Davidson River anchors the portfolio in the southwest Basin near large known deposits and recent discoveries, while the eastern Basin projects provide additional shallow target optionality along trend from high grade uranium systems. The company also uses a project generation and option model, allowing partners to help fund exploration on certain assets while Standard retains exposure to discovery upside. Strategic shareholders listed in the company deck include management and insiders, Sachem Cove, Accilent Capital and Fleet Space.
Leadership and Capital Strategy
Standard Uranium is led by a team with uranium exploration, capital markets, technical and public company experience. Jon Bey serves as chair, chief executive officer and director. Sean Hillacre serves as president and vice president of exploration and is the company’s qualified person for technical disclosure.
