Homeland Acquires Historical Data for Cross Bones Uranium Property
Homeland Uranium expands Colorado district footprint with Cross Bones data and ongoing Coyote Basin exploration, signaling a data-driven push toward domestic uranium development
Executive Summary
- 2026-02-26: Homeland Uranium announces the acquisition of historical exploration data for the Cross Bones Uranium Property from private vendors at US$13,000. The dataset comprises 16 drill logs, core assays, surface sampling, and radiometric surveys from BlueRock Resources Inc.’s 2006-2007 program. Homeland plans to review and integrate this data with existing datasets to re-interpret Cross Bones over the next few months, aiming toward permitting, planning, and an initial drilling program before year-end 2026. The Cross Bones project sits in northwestern Colorado within the broader Colorado Plateau uranium province. Homeland will attend PDAC in early March. The company also issued 4.5 million common shares and paid US$500,000 to former Shift Rare Metals shareholders as part of an amalgamation agreement from 2024.
- 2026-02-10: Homeland reports the completion of Phase II drilling at the Coyote Basin Uranium Project. The program totaled 5,300–5,423 meters across 33 RC holes, exceeding planned meterage. Downhole probes indicate near-surface intervals of elevated radioactivity; geochemical assays have been sent to labs. While results are positive for radiometric response, no assay grades are disclosed and historical resource estimates are explicitly not considered current. CEO Roger Lemaitre comments that Phase II confirms near-surface radiometric horizons and sets the stage for refined interpretation and future exploration.
- 2026-01-22 to 2026-01-16: Homeland announces ongoing drilling expansion at Coyote Basin (central area) and participation in investor forums (Vancouver Metals Investor Forum) with management presenting in late January 2026. The releases emphasize ongoing exploration progress and IR/marketing activity.
- 2025-10-03 and 2025-10-03 (duplicate/related): Homeland closes Skull Creek Uranium Project acquisition from Hightest Resources for US$300,000 cash and 750,000 common shares, plus NSR royalties (2% NSR on all production, 1.5% NSR on SEP lands) with potential reductions to 1% if Homeland pays US$1.5 million before notice of commercial production. Contingent payments scale with defined uranium resources (10–30 million pounds U3O8) and pro rata payments. The acquisition strengthens Homeland’s district position adjacent to Red Wash and Coyote Basin, expanding near-term exploration potential and strategic synergies for future development.
- 2025-12-22, 2025-12-15, 2025-11-12: Routine updates on Coyote Basin drilling continuity and near-surface radiometric horizons, with geochemical samples pending assay results. Historical resource estimates are reiterated as non-current. Phase II drilling and expansion plans continue, with regulators providing approvals for drilling in Colorado and at the project level.
- 2025-09-24 to 2025-09-22: Approvals for Coyote Basin drilling are granted by BLM and Colorado DMRS, enabling Phase II exploration; followed by announcements of Skull Creek acquisition discussions and strategic positioning in the Colorado district.
- 2025-04 to 2025-05: Homeland strengthens its technical leadership with the appointment of Nancy Normore as VP, Exploration (April 28, 2025) and announces omnibus equity awards (May 16, 2025) including DSUs, RSUs, and stock options; confirms ongoing Phase I/Phase II exploration planning and commencement of drilling activities later in 2025. Several investor relations agreements are disclosed (Kin Communications, ITG, FeMax) to raise visibility and liquidity.
- 2025-03-12 to 2025-03-31: Homeland completes its reverse takeover and begins trading on TSX Venture Exchange (HLU), with Valleyview Resources shareholders converting to Homeland shares. The company files 505 new claims expanding the Coyote Basin/Red Wash footprint and lists on the Frankfurt exchange (D3U) as part of broader liquidity strategy. The amalgamation with Shift Rare Metals strengthens the project base (Coyote Basin and Red Wash in northwestern Colorado).
- 2025-07 to 2025-10: A series of interim MD&A and financial statements disclose current liquidity, share structure (including warrants and options), and burn, with notable equity incentive activity and related-party details. In October 2025, a board change sees Ross McElroy stepping down; the company emphasizes ongoing project updates and the objective of upgrading historical resources to NI 43-101-compliant status through drilling and metallurgy work.
Material Impact
- Cross Bones data acquisition (2026-02-26) represents a targeted data-collection step with a modest cash outlay (US$13k) and a small equity/land transaction footprint, intended to accelerate reinterpretation and potential permitting for a future program. While useful, this is not a transformative, market-moving event on its own given the ongoing exploration timeline and the absence of NI 43-101-compliant resource status for Cross Bones. Overall, this is a positive but routine advancement consistent with an early-stage explorer broadening data inputs.
- Coyote Basin Phase II drilling results (2026-02-10; 2026-01-08) show consistent near-surface elevated radioactivity across central/southern horizons with open strike extent, and geochemical assays pending. The lack of reported assay grades means materiality remains limited in the near term; the achievement is supportive of a continuing exploration narrative but not a current resource outturn. This aligns with prior expectations from Phase II progression and is therefore Routine - Positive.
- Skull Creek acquisition (2025-10-03; 2025-10-03) materially shifts Homeland’s asset base and district-scale strategy by adding 154 mining claims, state lease access, and a 2% NSR royalty with potential reductions, along with contingent payments tied to resource milestones. The strategic rationale emphasizes proximity to Red Wash and Coyote Basin and the potential to upgrade historical resources to modern NI 43-101 resources. This is a material, positive development with clear implications for future drilling, permitting, and equity value.
- The overall trajectory from a reverse takeover, TSXV listing, expansion of claim blocks (March 2025), and aggressive Phase I/Phase II activity through late 2025 and into 2026 supports a constructive long-term growth narrative in Homeland’s US-focused uranium play. However, until NI 43-101-compliant resources are defined and assays are reported, the near-term stock impact remains incremental rather than transformative. Rating: Routine - Positive.

- Coyote Basin Uranium Project (Colorado, USA): 100% owned; Phase I and Phase II exploration with near-surface horizons confirmed; multiple historical mineralized horizons mapped; ongoing drilling program with assay results pending.
- Red Wash Project (Colorado, USA): Adjacent to Coyote Basin; exploration focus, with joint development potential in the district.
- Skull Creek Uranium Project (Colorado, USA): Acquired in October 2025; 154 mining claims and one state permit; adjacent to Red Wash and Coyote Basin; NSR royalties apply with contingent milestone payments tied to defined resource thresholds; adds district-scale potential and synergies.
- Strategic focus: Expand the Colorado district, advance exploration programs, and convert historical resources to NI 43-101-compliant resources to support a US domestic uranium supply chain.
