Standard Uranium Ltd. (STND.V) has begun its 2025 exploration program at the Corvo Uranium Project in Saskatchewan, taking a major step forward in its option agreement with Aventis Energy Inc. This three-year earn-in deal grants Standard the right to earn a majority stake in the project through staged exploration and investment. Corvo is located just east of the prolific Athabasca Basin and is considered highly prospective for basement-hosted uranium mineralization.
The company’s technical team arrived at the site on July 4 to begin fieldwork, which includes geological mapping, ground prospecting, and geochemical sampling. These activities are focused on confirming historic uranium occurrences at the Manhattan and SMDI 2052 zones. Previous surface samples from these sites revealed significant uranium grades, ranging from 1.19% to nearly 6% U₃O₈, with additional thorium concentrations recorded. Current samples are being analyzed at the Saskatchewan Research Council’s laboratories and will form part of the project’s first NI 43-101 compliant report.
This year’s campaign is being supported by an earlier airborne geophysical survey completed over the property. The 1,380 line-kilometer Time Domain Electromagnetic and magnetic survey mapped numerous conductive zones and structural trends across the area. These results are being used to pinpoint priority drill targets and will guide the upcoming inaugural drill program scheduled for early 2026.
To further refine the exploration model, Standard plans to conduct a high-resolution ground gravity survey later this year. This will help detect variations in subsurface density that may indicate hydrothermal alteration zones commonly associated with uranium deposits. By layering new geophysical insights over historical exploration data, the company aims to maximize targeting efficiency and reduce technical risk ahead of drilling.
Corvo is strategically positioned roughly 45 kilometers northeast of Atha Energy’s Gemini Zone and about 60 kilometers from Cameco’s McArthur River mine, two of the Athabasca region’s most notable uranium projects. The combination of shallow targets, limited glacial cover, and high-grade surface indications positions Corvo as an attractive and accessible exploration opportunity.
Through a blend of boots-on-the-ground work and high-tech data analysis, Standard Uranium is preparing for a pivotal 2026 drilling campaign. The outcomes of this year’s program will set the stage for determining the project’s viability and potential role in supplying uranium to the global market.
