VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global Uranium Corp. (CSE: GURN) (OTC: GURFF) (FRA: Q3J) (the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on recent activities at the NWA Project, under option with Forum Energy Metals Corp. (“Forum”), located on the northwest side of the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, as well as an outlook on exploration plans for the next six months.
Recent Project Work
We are pleased to announce that planning is underway by Forum’s team for the logistics of conducting a drill program in 2025. Further, Forum has successfully completed remediation efforts at the NWA Project site, including the removal of old exploration equipment and localized soil testing by Geosyntec Consultants Inc. in accordance with Saskatchewan Environment’s recommendations. The NWA Project is now poised for the next phase of exploration.
Exploration Permit and Duty to Consult
The NWA Project’s exploration permit has entered the Duty to Consult phase as of September 16th, 2024. This consultation period, expected to last two to three months, will involve engagement with local communities and stakeholders to ensure that exploration activities are conducted with community support and in an environmentally responsible manner.
Upcoming Exploration Activities
During the Duty to Consult period, Forum, as the operator of the NWA joint venture, will be advancing exploration plans. The exploration team is currently evaluating a range of geophysical methods, including ground resistivity and some infill gravity. These geophysical methods can image areas of strong clay alteration in the subsurface and increased clay is always associated with unconformity-type uranium mineralization. These surveys are expected to commence in early 2025, pending favorable conditions. In addition, Forum is planning a 4,000 m drill program, which could begin as early as winter 2025 or be deferred to summer 2025, based on logistical constraints and permitting timelines. The drilling will focus on high-priority targets identified from both historical data and upcoming geophysical surveys.
