Homeland Confirms Southward Continuity of Anomalous Radioactivity at the Coyote Basin Uranium Project
Homeland Proves Continuity with Gamma Probes While the Market Awaits Chemical "Truth" from the Lab.
The news release dated December 22, 2025, provides an operational update on the Phase II drilling program at the Coyote Basin Uranium Project in Colorado. The company completed six Reverse Circulation (RC) drillholes (CB-RC-0029 to CB-RC-0034).
Key technical takeaways: - Continuity: The results confirm the southward continuity of a near-surface anomalous radiometric horizon over a strike length of approximately 200 meters. - Scale: Anomalous radioactivity has now been defined over an area of approximately 1,000 meters by 200 meters. - Status: Drilling is paused for the holiday season; geochemical samples have been shipped to the lab for assay, with results currently pending. - Objective: The program seeks to validate 1970s historical data from Western Mining, which suggests a laterally extensive mineralized horizon.
The impact of this news is Routine - Positive. While the confirmation of strike length and model continuity is a necessary technical step, it is not a "Game Changer" in the absence of chemical assay results.
- Reliance on Scintillometers: The company is reporting "anomalous radioactivity" based on downhole spectral gamma ray readings. As noted in their own disclaimers and the Dec 15 release, radioactivity does not always correlate directly to uranium grade due to "uranium disequilibrium," a phenomenon where the radioactive daughter products and the parent uranium are not in balance.
- Absence of Grade: Without chemical assays (percent U3O8), the market cannot value the discovery or determine if the historical resource of 0.20% U3O8 is being replicated in the modern program.
- Operational Execution: The news confirms that management is executing the plan laid out in March 2025 and is on track with its 5,300-meter Phase II goal.
Homeland Uranium Corp. (TSXV: HLU) is a junior explorer focused on the "American nuclear renaissance." Its flagship is the Coyote Basin Uranium Project in Colorado. - Flagship: Coyote Basin (18,404 acres). - Key Asset: A historical (non-compliant) resource estimate of 35.4 million lbs U3O8 at a grade of 0.20%. - Secondary Assets: Red Wash project and the recently acquired Skull Creek project (Cross Bones deposit), which also hosts significant historical estimates (44.2M lbs). - Strategy: Using modern drilling to convert large-scale 1970s historical data into NI 43-101 compliant resources.
