Geiger to start drill program at Hook project in Feb.

Executive Summary

• Geiger Energy Corp. will commence a winter drill program at its Hook project in the Athabasca Basin in February 2026 to test two high‑radioactivity alteration zones (TT and TAB).
• The TT target includes up to 145 m of clay alteration intersected across five historic holes; the TAB target includes up to 230 m of fracturing/hydrothermal alteration intersected in two historic holes.
• Up to ten new drill holes are planned (3‑5 per target) to test below the alteration envelopes, evaluate gravity/magnetic anomalies and assess potential redox interfaces for uranium mineralization.

Key Details

• Program Timing: Field mobilization early February 2026; logistics and staffing already arranged.
• TT Area (≈5.5 km SW of Ackio):
• Historic intersections: 30–145 m thick clay alteration in holes HK24‑016, HK24‑017, HK24‑021, HK24‑022, HK24‑023.
• Planned new holes: 3‑5 to drill beneath the alteration envelope and along strike to delineate the system’s extent.
• TAB Area (≈6 km NE of Ackio):
• Historic intersections: 130–230 m thick fracturing/hydrothermal alteration in holes HK24‑009, HK24‑010.
• Planned new holes: 3‑5 to test a broad gravity anomaly and further evaluate elevated radioactivity indicated by lake‑sediment samples.
• Geophysical Context: Both targets lie within coincident gravity and magnetic lows aligned with the structural corridor that hosts the Ackio discovery.
• Exploration Rationale: Thick alteration zones with elevated radioactivity and pathfinder geochemistry are analogous to major uranium corridors (e.g., Millennium deposit), suggesting potential for additional mineralized zones.
• Objective: Determine whether TT and/or TAB host new uranium mineralization, expanding the Hook project’s resource potential beyond the Ackio discovery.
• Company Statement: Rebecca Hunter, President & CEO, emphasized that winter exploration will “ensure continuous advancement of Geiger's portfolio” and highlighted the similarity of these alteration systems to larger Athabasca basin deposit corridors.
