Extension Of Agate Mineralization At Southern Trend

KELOWNA – Strathmore Plus Uranium Corporation reported on Phase 1 drilling for the 2025 exploration season at the Agate project located in the Shirley Basin Uranium District of central Wyoming. The Company completed the Phase 1 drilling last week (45 holes) resulting in the extension of the Middle Sand’s southern trend to over 1,300 feet in length, adding over 500 feet of mineralization this year.
Highlights for the drilling along this shallow trend includes holes AG-224-25 (14.0 ft of 0.071% eU3O8 from 35.0-49.0 ft) and AG-245-25 core (19.5 ft @ 0.040% eU3O8 from 26.0-45.5 ft). The expansion of the southern, shallow trend is in addition to the ever-expanding northern trend which now exceeds 5,200 feet in length and is open-ended where additional drilling is planned in the future.
John DeJoia, Director, said, “We still have open ended mineralization at both ends of the northern sand trend which now exceeds one mile in length. Approximately one mile south is the Middle sand trend which now exceeds over 1,300 feet in length and has not yet been limited by drilling. I have continued optimism about the Agate project and its hopeful development into an in-situ recovery project to produce uranium for the expanding nuclear fleet.”
In addition to exploration, core drilling was also performed, recovering samples from 5 holes within both the Middle and Lower sands, including hole AG-244-25 core (23.5 ft of 0.076% eU3O8 from 79.5-103.0 ft). The core will be analyzed and chemically assayed for comparison to gamma logging results, in addition to by the University of Wyoming’s ongoing research at Agate. Results of the recent Phase 1 drilling, table below, will provide targets for continued exploration during Phase 2.
Phase 1 of the 2025 drilling explored the Eocene Wind River Formation, an arkosic-rich sandstone which is noted for its high porosity and permeability, and high groundwater transmissivity. In addition to continued exploration of the northern trend in the Lower Sand, the drilling targeted the discovered shallow mineralization of the southern trend within the Middle sand. The Middle sand is thicker than the underlying Lower sand and historically has produced most of the uranium in the Shirley Basin district. Nearby, UR Energy is actively advancing their Shirley Basin In-Situ Satellite operation, which is planned to commence uranium production in 2026.
