Drill Planning Complete, Canary Uranium Project, Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, Canada

Highlights

  • Drill Plan Finalised: Approximately 1,000 -1,500 metres planned across 3-4 drill holes, targeting shallow unconformity-related uranium mineralisation.

  • Robust & Shallow Drill Targets: Drill plans comprise helicopter-supported diamond drilling focused on high-priority unconformity-related uranium targets refined by geophysical work completed by the Standard Uranium in 2022. Ideal unconformity and basement target zones on the Project lie within approximately 200-350 metres below surface.

  • Untapped Uranium Potential: One diamond drill hole will focus on the highest-priority target area along the northern electromagnetic (“EM”) corridor (Figure 2), investigating a significant resistivity anomaly coincident with modelled VTEM conductors for the first time.

  • Mobilisation: Diamond drilling crews will mobilise to the Canary Project on May 3[rd] .

Mamba Exploration Limited (ACN 644 571 826) (‘Mamba’, ‘M24’ or the ‘Company’ ) is pleased to announce that drilling and mobilisation plans have been finalised for the inaugural drill program on the 7,302-hectare Canary Project (“ Canary ” or “the Project ”). The Project is currently under a three-year earnin option agreement (the “ Option Agreement ”) with Standard Uranium Limited. (“ Standard Uranium ”).

Mamba and Standard Uranium are pleased to announce that final planning is complete for the inaugural Spring/Summer drill program on the Project, situated in the prolific eastern Athabasca Basin (Figure 1). Exploration teams will be mobilising to the field in early May, ahead of schedule.

Simon Andrew, Executive Director of Mamba commented:

“It is an exciting time for our shareholders to be involved in a high impact drilling program at the Canary Project. The fundamentals of the uranium sector remain robust and drilling Canary gives us a great chance of participating in the upside.”

Sean Hillacre, President & VP Exploration, Standard Uranium commented:

Our technical team and partners at Mamba are thrilled to begin drilling the exciting targets identified on the first of three EM corridors on the Project for the first time, exploring for shallow high-grade unconformity-related uranium mineralisation, Our exploration thesis on the Project is directly analogous to the targeting strategies that lead to recent discoveries in the Mudjatik Domain such as the high-grade Hurricane deposit just to the south of Canary.

Inaugural 2024 Drill Program

The spring/summer program will be the first drill campaign completed by Mamba on the Project, following successful identification of high-priority targets in 2022-2023 by operators Standard Uranium. The Project covers more than 16 km of conductive corridors across three prospective exploration trends which locally host anomalous historical uranium occurrences. Standard Uranium completed a highresolution ground DC/IP survey on the project in 2022, providing valuable structural and lithological information in the area to identify conductive bodies and potential fault systems. Significant resistivity-low anomalies are present along the northern conductor on the project, potentially representing substantial hydrothermal alteration zones in the sandstone and coincident with basement conductors.

The Base Diamond Drilling team is scheduled to arrive at the Project on May 3[rd] to begin drill pad preparation, and the Standard Uranium team is slated to mobilise on May 8[th] , 2024.

The Project is situated in the Mudjatik geological domain where several recent discoveries have been made, including IsoEnergy’s Hurricane Deposit located 11 km directly to the south, and is significantly underexplored relative to adjacent magnetic low/EM conductor corridors. Drill targets have been prioritised on the northern Canary EM corridor, providing robust and untested drill targets for the Phase I drilling program (Figure 2 and Figure 3).

Additionally, legacy GeoTEM data defining the southeastern EM corridor on the project is directly comparable to the response and scale of the GeoTEM conductor which hosts the Roughrider/J-zone uranium deposits further to the south. Highly anomalous geochemistry and favourable alteration was returned from historical drill hole CRK-137 along the southeastern conductor, providing an exceptional follow-up target for Phase II drilling.
