Standard Uranium Ltd. is pleased to outline extensive exploration plans for 2026 and present a summary of successful 2025 exploration activities. Exploration plans in 2026 will include high-resolution geophysics and targeted drill programmes across multiple uranium projects in the Athabasca Basin, northern Saskatchewan.
“2026 is poised to be the Company’s most active exploration season to date,” Jon Bey, CEO of Standard Uranium, commented. “With new option agreements in place for the Corvo and Rocas projects, and Davidson River now drill-ready with new high-priority target areas identified via the first Exosphere Multiphysics survey in the southwestern Athabasca, we are pleased to share that we continue to advance our uranium exploration portfolio toward discovery. We firmly believe the uranium market will remain one of the few bright spots in the investment landscape ahead.”
2026 Exploration Plans
Davidson River Project
New and refined target areas across the Warrior, Bronco, and Thunderbird conductor corridors have been identified through high-resolution 3D imaging of basement structures and potential alteration zones, providing key targeting information for spring 2026 drilling. The Company has secured all drill permits, signed Exploration Agreements with its Clearwater River Dene Nation partners, retained all essential vendors, and plans to initiate an aggressive drill programme in early spring 2026 to begin testing new targets with approximately 8,000 metres planned.
Corvo Project
In December 2025, the Company plans to complete an extensive 50 m x 200 m ground gravity survey covering more than 29 km of conductive strike length, which will aid in identifying density anomalies that may represent hydrothermal alteration systems when coinciding with uranium fertile EM conductor trends.
Following the gravity survey, a skid-assisted diamond drill programme totalling approximately 3,000 metres is planned for winter 2026, which will mark the first drill programme on the Project in more than 40 years. Drilling will target high-priority areas including the never-before-drilled Manhattan Showing and newly identified radioactive occurrences across the property.
Rocas Project
The Company completed a high-resolution ground gravity survey in 2024, and Convolutions Geoscience completed the processing, interpretation, and modelling of the gravity data. The survey identified several density-low anomalies coinciding with historical surface mineralization, lakebed geochemical anomalies, and cross-cutting fault zones along the Project’s known conductive exploration trends.
Standard Uranium plans to conduct the first-ever drill programme on the Project in winter 2026, comprising approximately 1,800 metres, to begin testing high-priority zones along the main 7.5-kilometre magnetic low/EM conductive corridor which hosts several uranium showings and has remained untested to date.
Sun Dog Project
The Company plans to complete 3D modelling and inversions of EM and gravity data collected across the project in 2024 and 2025. Integration of geophysical products with surficial sampling and drilling results to date will help refine drill targets for a future partner-funded drill programme.
2025 Exploration Summary
Davidson River Project
In May of 2025, a Fleet ExoSphere Multiphysics Survey was competed across key areas of the Thunderbird, Bronco, and Warrior trends. Combined 3D Ambient Noise Tomography (“ANT“) and Horizontal-to-Vertical Spectral Ratio velocity models and constrained ground gravity block models have been generated.
Distinct gravity-low anomalies interpreted as potential hydrothermal alteration zones have been identified across all three corridors. These overlap known EM conductors, extrapolated basement faults from previous drilling, and basement velocity lows – indicating structural disruption or favourable lithological contrasts. Several new targets also align with ALS GoldSpot EM SmartMatch anomalies generated through machine-learning comparisons to the neighbouring Arrow and Triple R uranium deposits.
Sun Dog Project
In early 2025, MWH Geo-Surveys (Canada) Ltd. completed high-resolution ground gravity surveys across the Armbruster South, Wishbone, and McNie target areas, refining high-priority drill targets by identifying potential hydrothermal alteration zones associated with EM conductors.
Third-party processing of the gravity data by Convolutions Geoscience identified density-low bullseyes and high-contrast gravity zones. Where these anomalies coincide with faults, EM conductors, surface uranium showings, and lakebed geochemical anomalies, multiple new prospective target zones have been defined. Additionally, assays from the 2024 drill programme, which tested the newly identified Wishbone target area, returned anomalous uranium in all eight drill holes2.
The Sun Dog Project is currently under a three-year earn-in option agreement with Aero Energy Ltd. (TSXV: AERO).
Atlantic and Rocas Projects
MWH Geo-Surveys (Canada) Ltd. completed high-resolution ground gravity surveys along known conductive exploration trends on the Rocas project and spanning the central claims of the Atlantic project. Inversion and modelling of high-resolution ground gravity surveys was completed for each project, identifying density-low anomalies coincident with surface mineralisation, lakebed geochemical anomalies, EM conductors, and crosscutting faults.
These results have led to the delineation of new anomalous zones and drill targets.
Corvo Project
Earlier this year, the Company engaged Axiom Exploration Group Ltd., in partnership with New Resolution Geophysics, to complete a helicopter-borne Xcite time-domain electromagnetic and magnetic survey over the Corvo Project. The survey outlined several kilometres of bedrock conductors and magnetic features and enhanced the resolution of over ~29 km of conductive trends.
In July of 2025, Standard Uranium completed the Company’s first prospecting and mapping programme on the project with the objective of ground-truth sampling historical uranium showings including the Manhattan Showing, which returned results up to 59,800 ppm uranium (total digestion). The Company identified zones of off-scale radioactivity (>65,535 cps on a handheld RS-125 Super-Spec) and collected hand samples which returned results ranging from 0.72% to 8.10% U₃O₈3, the highest grades ever reported on the project. New drill targets were developed based on previously undocumented radioactive showings, and an NI 43-101 technical report was filed on the project, highlighting high-grade surface mineralisation at the Manhattan Showing4.
A high-resolution ground gravity survey is planned to be completed in 2026, which will cover the main conductive trends to identify potential hydrothermal alteration halos commonly associated with basement-hosted uranium mineralisation. This additional data will further refine drill targets.
The Corvo Project is currently under a three-year earn-in option agreement with Aventis Energy Inc. (CSE: AVE).
Rocas Project
In September of 2025, Standard Uranium completed a detailed prospecting and mapping programme on the Project. Historical grab sample assays have returned up to 0.498% U₃O₈, while preliminary results of the prospecting and mapping programme identified anomalous radioactivity up to 33,000 cps, as well as 10 separate measurements of greater than 10,000 cps5. Geochemical assay results are anticipated in the coming months.
Paired with the results from a high-resolution ground gravity survey completed in 2024, this highlights potential alteration halos and identify high-priority exploration targets along well-defined structural corridors.
The Rocas Project is currently under a three-year earn-in option agreement with Collective Metals Inc. (CSE: COMT).
Incentive Grant
The Company also announces that it has granted a total of 1,475,000 incentive stock options and 3,350,000 restricted share units to certain directors, officers and consultants in accordance with its omnibus incentive plan. The Options vest and become exercisable in five equal parts, with the first 20% vesting upon the date of grant and each additional 20% vesting every three months over a twelve-month period. The Options are exercisable at a price of $0.11 until November 6, 2030. The RSUs will vest and settle in common shares of the Company on November 6, 2026, provided the holder continues to be eligible as of that date.
