Geiger prepares for 10,000 m drill program at Aberdeen

Executive Summary

• Geiger Energy Corp. is commencing a 10,000‑metre summer drill program at the Aberdeen project in Nunavut’s Thelon basin, targeting high‑grade unconformity‑related uranium mineralization at Loki and expanding the Tatiggaq discovery.
• The program will begin in June 2026 and includes systematic step‑outs along a 4 km gravity anomaly, testing new 2024 showings (up to 0.79 % U₃O₈ over 0.1 m) and evaluating additional untested targets across the project.
• Successful results could elevate the Thelon basin to a world‑class uranium district and potentially trigger a re‑rating of the region’s prospectivity.

Key Details

• Drill Program Scope: 10,000 metres total planned for summer 2026; primary focus on Loki and Tatiggaq target areas.
• Loki Target: First unconformity‑related uranium mineralization intersected in Thelon basin sandstone; extensive alteration analogous to Athabasca‑style systems. Step‑outs will follow a 4 km gravity anomaly, emphasizing structural controls.
• Tatiggaq Target: High‑grade basement‑hosted uranium zone (two pods over ~300 m strike); open along strike (~1.5 km) and at depth. New 2024 showing of up to 0.79 % U₃O₈ over 0.1 m discovered north of the prospect; will be followed‑up with systematic drilling.
• Exploration Objectives: Identify structural traps, alteration systems, and scale/continuity of mineralization to achieve first true high‑grade uranium intersections in the basin.
• Logistics: Winter overland hauling organized immediately; snow‑tracked convoys transport fuel, drills, equipment from Baker Lake to Aberdeen Lake (2–3 days per convoy) during March‑May.
• Project Context: Aberdeen hosts 50+ high‑priority targets with strong alteration and anomalous uranium; also includes flagship discoveries Tatiggaq and Qavvik.
• Corporate Quote: “The objective of the program is clear… a serious rerating of the region is anticipated,” – Dr. Rebecca Hunter, President & CEO.
