VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Stallion Uranium Corp. (the “Company” or “Stallion”) (TSX-V: STUD; OTCQB: STLNF; FSE: FE0) is pleased to announce it is currently conducting a HeliSam survey over its Fishhook Target and Five of Diamonds Target, both located on the company’s Atha Energy JV Project. The HeliSam survey will total over 400kms of flight lines and is aimed at enhancing and upgrading the understanding of the geological and conductive features of the target areas.
“This HeliSam survey is another important step progressing high priority target areas through our exploration funnel, working to bring additional tier one targets towards drill readiness,” said CEO, Drew Zimmerman. “The 9 tier one targets identified across our projects give us a scale of uranium discovery potential that is unmatched in the prolific Southwestern Athabasca basin.”
The HeliSam survey conducted using advanced helicopter-borne electromagnetic technology, will provide high-resolution data critical for identifying and enhancing potential uranium targets. This innovative approach allows for efficient and comprehensive mapping of subsurface structures, enabling Stallion to further refine its exploration target areas.
“We are excited to begin this HeliSam survey, which represents further advancement of our Atha Energy JV Project,” said Darren Slugoski, Vice President, Exploration for Stallion Uranium. “The results will provide confidence in selecting high-priority areas along the 18 km trend as the data guides us to smaller target areas that display the known geological characteristics associated with large uranium deposits.”
The Fishhook Target was initially identified by Stallion’s 2023 MobileMT Survey and is situated along the Fishhook Corridor. The corridor has a historical drillhole 8km south of our target area, hole FH-7, the ¹Fishhook Showing, that intersected anomalous uranium concentrations within the Athabasca sandstone returning assays of 0.139% U₃O₈ (0.118% U). Drilling revealed poorly consolidated Athabasca Formation sandstone in contact with highly altered regolith, indicating the potential for the Fishhook Trend to be fertile to host a uranium deposit. The HeliSam survey will help identify secondary cross-cutting features that align with a strong electromagnetic signal.
In addition to the Fishhook Target, Stallion Uranium will also survey the Five of Diamonds Target using the HeliSam method. The Five of Diamonds Target branches off from the Fishhook Trend, making it a compelling prospect that Stallion has prioritized for inclusion in the survey.
The company will provide the survey results after the data is collected and interpreted.
HeliSam Survey Details
Dias Geophysical was contracted to conduct the HeliSAM survey to map the electrical characteristics of conductors on the selected target areas.
Sub-Audio Magnetics (SAM) is a proprietary system provided to Dias Geophysical through its wholly owned subsidiary Gap Geophysics Australia (GAP) out of Brisbane, Australia. The SAM technique is a total B-field method capable of simultaneous acquisition of magnetic and electric field responses of the earth. High spatial resolution total magnetic field intensity (TMI), magnetometric conductivity (MMC*) and/or total field electromagnetic (TFEM) data will be collected from a SAM survey.
The SAM receiver can be used with a grounded, galvanic dipole, or an inductive-loop transient electromagnetic (TEM) source. An inductive-loop survey will provide information on the TFEM and TMI responses while a galvanic source survey will provide information on the MMC, TFEM, and TMI responses. The main advantage of this B-field sensor and technique, besides its inherent high sensitivity, is that total field magnetic component measurements can be made with the sensor in motion. SAM will be towed by helicopter (HeliSAM).
