Stallion begins winter 2026 drilling at Moonlite
Pedigree exploration team launches high-stakes winter drill program at maiden Coyote target.

The most recent news release (February 12, 2026) announces the commencement of a Phase 1 diamond drilling program at the Moonlite Project in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan. Key details include: - A 4,000-metre program using two drill rigs. - The primary focus is the Coyote Corridor, specifically targeting gravity low anomalies and conductive corridors. - This is the first time the Coyote target has ever been drill-tested. - Management claims the target displays geological signatures similar to major Athabasca uranium discoveries (e.g., NexGen’s Arrow or Fission’s Triple R).
The impact is categorized as Routine - Positive because it represents the execution of a previously announced strategy (Jan 5, 2026 mobilization) rather than a fundamental shift in company value or a discovery. - Technical De-risking: The transition from geophysical modeling to physical drilling is the most critical step for a junior explorer. However, "discovery potential" is currently speculative. - Capital Allocation: The company is deploying the flow-through capital raised in late 2025 ($7.72M) specifically for this program. Successful execution without technical delays is positive. - Management Credibility: CEO Matthew Schwab’s background (NexGen Energy, Arrow discovery) adds weight to the claim that these targets are "compelling," but the market rarely prices in "potential" until assays return. - Impact on Stock: Historically, "drilling has commenced" news provides minor support but often leads to a "wait-and-see" period for the stock price until results are published.
Stallion Uranium is focused on the Western Athabasca Basin, holding a massive land package (over 3,000 sq km) near industry giants like NexGen and Cameco. - Flagship Project: Moonlite Project (hosting the Coyote target). - Strategy: The company has spent the last 18 months using advanced AI (Matchstick TI) and 3D gravity inversion to narrow down "blind" targets under sandstone cover. - Pivot: In 2024-2025, the company divested its Idaho gold/antimony assets (Horse Heaven) and its eastern basin claims to focus exclusively on the high-grade potential of the western Athabasca.
