Aventis Energy Confirms High-Grade Uranium Mineralization up to 8.10% U3O8 at Surface on the Corvo Project
Executive Summary
- Final assay results from the 2025 surface prospecting program at Corvo show high‑grade uranium mineralization, with outcrop grab samples returning up to 8.10 wt% U₃O₈.
- New radioactive showings were identified across the property, expanding the known zone of potential uranium and rare‑earth element (REE) mineralization.
- The Company has scheduled a high‑resolution ground gravity survey for December 2025 and plans to commence its inaugural diamond drill program in Q1 2026 to test the newly defined targets.
Key Details
- Assay Highlights – Manhattan Showing:
- Sample 214010 (outcrop, paragneiss) – 8.10 wt% U₃O₈
- Sample 244959 (outcrop, paragneiss) – 5.14 wt% U₃O₈
-
Additional outcrop samples returned 0.72 wt% to 4.23 wt% U₃O₈.
-
Overall Sampling Program:
- 30 outcrop/boulder grab samples collected between 4‑16 July 2025.
- Analyses performed by Saskatchewan Research Council Geoanalytical Laboratories (ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited).
-
Uranium concentrations ranged from <0.001 wt% to 8.10 wt%; REE oxide totals (TREO*) up to 0.190 wt%.
-
New Radioactive Showings:
-
Scintillometer prospecting identified previously undocumented radioactive occurrences in lithologies favorable for both uranium and REE mineralization.
-
Geophysical Work Completed:
-
Helicopter‑borne Xcite TDEM & total‑field magnetic survey (≈1,380 line‑km; 100 m line spacing) conducted earlier 2025, revealing several kilometres of conductive anomalies and magnetic features.
-
Planned Exploration Activities:
- High‑resolution ground gravity survey slated for December 2025 to locate density anomalies linked to hydrothermal alteration.
-
First diamond drill program targeted for Q1 2026, focusing on targets refined from the 2025 mapping, sampling, and geophysical datasets.
-
Qualified Person:
- Sean Hillacre, P.Geo., President & VP Exploration of Standard Uranium Ltd., has reviewed and approved all technical information per NI 43‑101.
