Stallion Uranium Corp. has started its 2026 winter diamond drilling program at the Moonlite Project in northern Saskatchewan. The Coyote Corridor will be targeted, a well-defined structural zone identified through geophysical surveys and geological modeling. The project covers 100%-owned mineral claims and claims under option with Atha Energy Corp.
The Coyote Target is a large, well-defined basement-hosted target for high-grade uranium mineralization. The priority drill targets have compelling geophysical signatures and the Coyote Corridor is being drilled for the first time ever. The program will consist of 4,000 meters drilled using two diamond drill rigs to refine targeting from hole to hole.
Drilling at the Moonlite Project commenced later than expected due to weather conditions but has since started safely and efficiently. The program aims to test the most prospective targets of a large, untested structural corridor with key geophysical and geological characteristics for high-grade uranium deposits.
The winter drill program will utilize two diamond drill rigs to complete six to eight drill holes at the Moonlite Project. Targets are within gravity low anomalies spatially associated with conductive corridors, providing potential for hydrothermal uranium-bearing mineralizing fluids. The Coyote conductive corridor is a priority target for initial drill testing.
Base Drilling, a Canadian drilling contractor, is conducting the drilling program at the Moonlite Project. The company specializes in diamond drilling services for mineral exploration projects and has experience operating in remote northern environments and the Athabasca Basin.
Stallion Uranium Corp. is focused on exploring 1,700 sq/km in the Athabasca Basin for high-grade uranium deposits. The company, along with JV partner Atha Energy, has the largest contiguous project in the Western Athabasca Basin. The leadership team has expertise in uranium and precious metals exploration, positioning Stallion for a key role in clean energy.
