Manhattan Uranium Compiles 336 Historical Holes at October Project, Uravan Mineral Belt; Identifies Priority Drill Targets Including 1.16% eU3O8 over 4.8 ft
Manhattan compiles historical data at the October Project to narrow targets for its upcoming drill program.
Manhattan Uranium Discovery Corp. (MANU) has released an update on its October Project in Colorado's Uravan Mineral Belt, marking the completion of a historical data compilation and digitization effort for 336 drill holes. The company screened out mined-out ground and intervals near known workings to identify 18 high-priority intercepts for follow-up drilling.
The highest-grade historical intercept recorded is 1.16% eU3O8 over 4.8 ft in hole O-217. Historical estimates reference approximately 140,000 lb U3O8 from Atlas Corporation in 1984, though no current NI 43-101 compliant resource has been established. These grades are derived from historical downhole gamma-probe logging rather than chemical assays and have not been independently verified. Manhattan Uranium plans to use this modernized database to prioritize and sequence the next phase of drilling.
Manhattan Uranium Discovery Corp. (MANU) has taken a standard step in its exploration strategy by leveraging legacy data to identify drill targets. The company’s compilation work aligns with previous announcements regarding data digitization at the Lisbon Valley and I-70 projects, indicating a consistent portfolio-wide approach rather than a unique catalyst.
The update does not introduce new financial data, alter the capital structure, or provide a verified mineral resource. The reliance on unverified historical gamma data and the absence of assay results limit the immediate market-moving potential of the announcement.
Manhattan Uranium Discovery Corp. is a pre-revenue uranium exploration company formed through the court-approved combination of Aero Energy, Urano Energy, and Pegasus Resources. The consolidated portfolio includes 15 past-producing uranium mines and 25 underexplored properties covering 25,099 acres across the Colorado Plateau, Nevada, and the Athabasca Basin.
Flagship projects include the Murmac and Strike projects in the Athabasca Basin, which offer high-grade basement-hosted uranium potential, and the Apex Project in Nevada, a historically significant producer. The company is strategically positioned in North American jurisdictions with established infrastructure and proximity to the White Mesa Mill, the only operating conventional uranium mill in the U.S.
