Global Uranium on Schedule to Commence Drilling in Early March
CALGARY, Alberta, Feb. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global Uranium Corp. (CSE: GURN | OTC: GURFF | FRA: Q3J) (the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on its drilling program at the Northwest Athabasca (“NWA”) Project, a joint venture with the operator Forum Energy Corp. (the “Operator”), located in northern Saskatchewan. Mobilization efforts are advancing, and the Company remains on track to commence drilling in early March.
The project site is progressing efficiently, with the team actively managing logistics to ensure smooth operations. The Operator has arranged air transport for personnel and key materials, with the first flight set to arrive in a few days. Heavier equipment and additional supplies will be delivered as needed. On-site preparation is advancing well, with a strong focus on establishing the airstrip and camp to support ongoing operations. Strategic planning is in place to maintain steady progress, keeping the drilling program on track and moving forward successfully.
The Company has refined its drilling targets based on recently reprocessed geophysical data. The first drill target is readily accessible, and additional geophysical survey results are expected to further enhance targeting. A resistivity survey contract is currently being finalized, with data collection expected to take approximately 2-to-3 weeks. Drilling operations are anticipated to begin in early-March, weather permitting.
“We are pleased with the steady progress at the Northwest Athabasca Project as we move toward the launch of our winter drill program. The team has done an excellent job managing logistics and ensuring a smooth mobilization process, keeping us on track to begin drilling in early March,” said, Ungad Chadda, CEO of Global Uranium. “Refining our drill targets based on reprocessed geophysical data has further strengthened our approach, and we are confident that the upcoming resistivity survey will provide additional valuable insights.”
With mobilization progressing and key logistical challenges being addressed, the NWA Project is well-positioned for the winter drill program. The Company looks forward to updating investors as drilling commences and further exploration results become available.
