Noble Plains Uranium Geophysical Survey Identifies Deeper Fort Union Target at Duck Creek
Noble Plains targets deeper Fort Union uranium at Duck Creek through geophysical surveys.
Noble Plains Uranium Corp. released preliminary results from an induced polarization (IP) geophysical survey at its Duck Creek property in Wyoming. The survey successfully validated the IP method on known shallow mineralization in the Wasatch Formation. A significant IP anomaly was detected at approximately 200 meters depth, interpreted as a potential redox front in the previously untested Fort Union Formation.
The company plans to use this low-cost targeting tool to run multiple IP lines along the 5.25-mile property length to guide future drill testing. The current NI 43-101 resource (6.36 million lbs U3O8) is entirely within the shallower Wasatch Formation.
Noble Plains Uranium Corp. (NOBL) released a standard exploration update following its maiden resource announcement in April 2026. The findings validate the company’s strategy to test deeper geological horizons, aligning with previous drilling plans to target the Fort Union Formation.
The results are preliminary and do not yet constitute a resource estimate or reserve. There is no immediate financial or operational impact, as the activity serves as a de-risking step for future drilling campaigns. The market likely already priced in the exploration upside given the company's history of advancing the Duck Creek project toward resource definition.
Noble Plains Uranium Corp. is an exploration-stage uranium company focused on In-Situ Recovery (ISR) projects in Wyoming. Its flagship asset is the Duck Creek Uranium Project in the Powder River Basin, where the company announced a maiden NI 43-101 resource in April 2026 comprising 5.32 million lbs of Indicated and 1.04 million lbs of Inferred U3O8. Land expansion has increased the continuous mineralized trend to 5.25 miles, situated between major producers Cameco and Uranium Energy Corp.
The company also holds a secondary project, Shirley Central in the Shirley Basin, adjacent to Ur-Energy's producing mine, with a non-binding LOI for potential toll processing. Noble Plains utilizes a data-driven approach, leveraging historical drilling data and AI digitization to accelerate resource definition.
