Global Uranium Identifies Priority Uranium Targets in Wyoming’s Copper Mountain and Great Divide Districts
Calgary, Alberta — Global Uranium Corp. (CSE: GURN | OTC: GURFF | FRA: Q3J) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce the results of its recently completed radiometric survey on select mineral claims in the Wyoming Copper Mountain and Great Divide Districts. The survey, now analyzed and interpreted, has successfully identified prospective uranium anomalies across the Airline #2 and Big Bend claims, reinforcing their exploration potential.
Survey Analysis and Interpretation
The radiometric survey covered four project areas: the Airline #2-1 and Airline #2-2 claims in the Copper Mountain District, and the Big Bend-1 and Big Bend-2 claims in the Great Divide District. Data analysis focused on quantifying equivalent uranium concentrations, highlighting anomalous zones, and refining the exploration strategy for these claims.
Key Findings
- Airline #2-1: A total of 82 data points were collected, showing equivalent uranium values ranging from 2.4 to 91.9 ppm. This area displays a broad range of uranium concentrations, with several high-value zones identified. Priority targets include clusters of elevated uranium levels, notably concentrated in the northern and eastern portions of the surveyed area.
- Airline #2-2: 156 data points were collected, showing equivalent uranium values ranging from 0.7 to 12.1 ppm, suggesting lower but stable uranium levels compared to Airline #2-1. The mapped contours reveal a relatively uniform distribution of radiometric values, with limited high-concentration zones, indicating that this area has fewer distinct anomalies and may present lower-priority targets for further exploration.
- Big Bend-1: In this area, 134 data points show equivalent uranium values from 1.7 to 38.4 ppm. The dataset and map together highlight promising anomalies in the northern and central portions of the area, corresponding with higher uranium readings. These anomalies make Big Bend-1 a viable target for focused follow-up and exploration.
- Big Bend-2: A smaller dataset of 26 points reveals equivalent uranium values between 5.3 and 15.0 ppm. Mapped contours show moderate yet consistent uranium levels across the area, with a few localized zones of elevated values that can be prioritized as secondary targets for additional investigation.
“The analytical results from our recent radiometric survey in Wyoming underscore the exploration potential of our Airline #2 and Big Bend claims,” commented Ungad Chadda, CEO of Global Uranium. “The identification of these high-priority targets positions Global Uranium well to advance exploration and assess the potential of the Company’s holdings in a district with historical uranium production.”
Methodology
The primary objective of the radiometric survey was to detect uranium anomalies across select claims and establish baseline data to inform drill targeting. The survey method employed standardized grid-based radiometric sampling with a handheld scintillometer to measure equivalent uranium concentration at each station. Each claim area was mapped with a defined grid pattern to ensure comprehensive coverage and data consistency. The Airline #2-1 and Big Bend-2 projects had 100-meter by 100-meter station spacing, while the Airline #2-2 and Big Bend-1 projects followed 100-meter by 200-meter spacing. The survey designs provided broad coverage for initial anomaly detection. Radiometric assays were 4-minutes long, and acquired over clean, dry, and vegetation-free soil whenever possible. Once collected, the data underwent standard processing to generate maps of equivalent uranium concentrations, highlighting areas of elevated readings. Data was then visualized in contour maps, delineating anomalous zones across several target areas.
QA/QC Analysis
Field duplicate measurements were taken at random to ensure that equipment readings were precise and could be reliably used to compare relative uranium concentrations across survey grids. The Relative Percent Difference (“RPD”) analysis reveals that most duplicate equivalent uranium measurements across the survey exhibit acceptable consistency, with RPD values below or near 20%. This suggests that the radiometric survey produced reliable and repeatable measurements across different project areas. Instances where RPD values exceed 25% indicate some moderate variability, which could stem from natural geological heterogeneity in uranium distribution rather than measurement inconsistencies. The data quality is therefore considered robust, with most variations falling within acceptable limits for field duplicate analyses.
Next Steps
As Global Uranium advances its Wyoming group of uranium projects, the Company is considering a series of targeted surveys to enhance drill targeting and refine the understanding of uranium-bearing structures. With winter approaching, the focus will be on geophysical methods that perform well in snowy conditions, specifically those that are able to target the geological and geochemical features associated with roll-front uranium mineralization. Magnetic surveys could help map structural features and fault zones within the sedimentary sequence by identifying key pathways and redox boundaries that control uranium mineralization. Passive seismic surveys could delineate sedimentary layers and subsurface traps within sandstone units that commonly host roll-front mineralization. As conditions permit, Global Uranium is also considering resistivity and IP surveys in late-winter or early-spring to detect conductivity contrasts and pinpoint reducing environments where uranium may precipitate. Together, these surveys could provide the Company with a detailed, multi-layered view of the geological features controlling uranium mineralization on the Wyoming group of projects.
