Nexus Uranium Acquires Deadhorse Uranium Claims in South Dakota

NEXU · Price
Executive Summary
- Nexus Uranium Corp. acquired the Deadhorse uranium project in South Dakota via staking, adding 17 unpatented lode mining claims (~340 acres) to its portfolio.
- The acquisition consolidates Nexus’s land position adjacent to its flagship Chord ISR project, enhancing the potential for a standalone uranium development in the historic Black Hills district.
- No royalties or existing mineral resource estimates are attached to Deadhorse; the company will pursue exploration to evaluate uranium potential.
