Strathmore Hits First Step Out 800 Feet Away


Strathmore Hits First Step Out 800 Feet Away

 

This news release is not for distribution to U.S. newswire services for dissemination in the United States.

 

Kelowna, BC – October 19, 2023 Strathmore Plus Uranium Corp. (“Strathmore Plus” or the “Company”) (TSXV: SUUOTC: SUUFF – FRA: TO3) is pleased to announce the results of an additional 16 holes drilled at the Agate project in the Shirley Basin Uranium District of central Wyoming.  Drilling has extended the known mineralization at least 800 feet west of discovery hole AG-10-23 which encountered 16 feet of 0.081% eU3O8 (see press release dated October 16, 2023); new drill hole AG-16-23 intercepted 21 feet of 0.089% eU3O8 from 79-100 feet (see table below).  The 16 holes were drilled to the north, west, and east of the discovery hole, extending mineralization in each direction.  Additionally, new drill holes AG-28-23 and AG-29-23, which encountered mineralization, were drilled 800 feet north of hole AG-16-23; exploration is ongoing across this area of the property.

 

Phase 1 of exploratory drilling at the Agate project is targeting the Lower “A” sand of the Eocene Wind River Formation, an arkosic-rich sandstone which is noted for its high porosity, permeability, and transmissivity.  Strathmore is exploring an area of the Agate project where historical drilling completed by Kerr McGee Corporation in the 1970s encountered uranium roll-front deposits, saturated with groundwater, from 80-150 feet deep.  The intercept results for the 16 holes are reported at a minimum thickness of 2-feet and a grade cutoff of 0.02% eU3O8 (equivalent uranium).  In addition, those mineralized holes with below cutoff intercepts are included and italicized in the table below.

Note:  The geophysical results are based on equivalent uranium of the gamma-ray probes calibrated at the Department of Energy’s Test Facility in Casper, Wyoming.  A geophysical tool with gamma-ray, spontaneous potential, resistivity, and drift detectors was utilized.  The reader is cautioned that the reported uranium grades may not reflect actual concentrations due to the potential for disequilibrium between uranium and its gamma emitting daughter products.

 

  • Mineralized holes with thicker, higher-grade intercepts are interpreted to be in the Near Interface, Nose (main front), or Near Seepage ground located within the projected roll front system. 

 

  • Mineralized holes with thinner, below cutoff grade intercepts are interpreted to be in the Limb/Tails or Remote Seepage ground located behind (altered) or ahead (reduced) of the projected roll front system, respectively. 

 

  • Non-mineralized holes are interpreted to be in the Barren Exterior (reduced) ground located ahead of the projected roll front system.

 

About the Agate Property
 

The Agate property consists of 52 wholly owned lode mining claims covering 1,075 acres. The uranium mineralization is contained in classic Wyoming-type roll fronts within the Eocene Wind River Formation, an arkosic-rich sandstone. Historically, 55 million pounds of uranium were mined in Shirley Basin, including from open-pit, underground, and the first commercial in-situ recovery operation in the USA during the 1960s. At the property, the uranium mineralization is shallow, from 25 to approximately 150 feet deep, much of which is below the water table and likely amenable to in-situ recovery. Kerr McGee Corporation, the largest US uranium mining company at the time, drilled at least 650 exploration holes, delineating several areas of potential mineralization that Strathmore intends to explore during the Phase 1 exploration project.

 

Strathmore is permitted to drill 100 holes for 15,000 feet in Phase 1 at Agate.  The exploratory drilling is being completed by Single Water Services and the geophysical probing by Hawkins CBM Logging, both of Wyoming with extensive experience working in the uranium industry. 

 

About Strathmore Plus Uranium Corp.

 

Strathmore has 3 fully permitted uranium projects in Wyoming, including Agate, Beaver Rim, and Night Owl. The Agate and Beaver Rim properties contain uranium in typical Wyoming-type roll front deposits based on historical drilling data. The Night Owl property is a former producing surface mine that was in production in the early 1960s.
