Stallion Uranium Corp. (the
"Company" or
"Stallion") (TSX-V: STUD; OTCQB: STLNF; FSE: FE0)
is pleased to announce the significant advancements and
interpretations from the maiden drill program completed on the
Appaloosa target, located on its 100% owned Coffer Project.
Appaloosa is an advanced exploration target that is part of its
broader portfolio of high-potential uranium projects held by
Stallion in the prolific southwestern Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan
where the company holds its largest land package.
The Appaloosa target is located on the northern
end of Stallion’s 100% owned Coffer project and is only 13km west
of the Shea Creek deposit, home to over 95m lbs. of uranium1
(Figure 2). Hole CF24-003 intersected the targeted graphitic
conductor roughly 150m below the unconformity providing the company
with the location and overall geometry of the structure. Given the
depth of the intersection below the unconformity, the hole would
have undershot intersecting potential unconformity mineralization
as seen in Figure 1. The length of the graphitic conductor
intersection was over 94m, showing considerable scale with the
potential to host a large size deposit. The intersection also
presented radioactivity levels above background, as well as
significant alteration, consisting of intense white to pale green
clay-chlorite alteration and yellow U-silicates that were observed
at the Shea Creek Deposits. Stallion’s technical team have been
interpreting the geological data and given the data have clear
analogs to the Shea Creek deposit area to help understand future
targeting and the targets potential. The next drill holes will
target the intersection of the graphitic structure and the
unconformity to test for an unconformity style deposit similar to
UEC/Orano’s Shea Creek Deposit.
“Stallion’s maiden drill program was big step
towards a discovery hole for the company. We now know the location
of the targeted structure, we know the structure is fertile from
anomalous radioactivity in all 3 drill holes, we know the structure
is large enough to host a significant deposit, and we know where to
target next,” said Stallion CEO, Drew Zimmerman.

CF24-003. The figure is an interpretation of the geological
structure that includes an example of an Unconformity Type Deposit
similar to Shea Creek
* The Company considers greater than 80 cps (on the RS-230
scintillometer) to be above background from the background
radioactivity levels of 30-60 cps.* Background gamma readings
through non-elevated zones typically range from 30-60 cps on the
RS-230 Handheld Scintillometer.* Hole CF24-003 was probed to a deep
of 850 meters due to the limits of the winch.
Darren Slugoski, VP Exploration Canada, said,
“Having intersected strong alteration and structure in CF24-003
that are comparable to the Shea Creek deposit model gives use a
strong indication that Stallion is in the appropriate area for
uranium mineralization. Given the data from the maiden drill
program the target area shows significant potential for discovery
in a follow up drill program. The Appaloosa target has not been
tested at the intersection of the unconformity and graphitic
structure, which will be top priority in the next phase on
exploration.”
Appaloosa Target Summary
The Appaloosa target was first uncovered through
the regional survey work completed by Stallion. When compiled with
available historical data the target area had promising indicators
known to host substantial uranium mineralization. The company then
completed a ground TDEM SQUID (Superconducting Quantum Interference
Device) survey developed specifically for resolving conductors at
extremely low-frequencies. The comprehensive data was able to
identify key prospective zones within the target area, supporting
the potential for economically viable uranium deposits that should
be drill tested.
Stallion’s maiden drill program commenced on
March 6, 2024 and was completed by CYR Drilling International
drilling a total of 2,798.2m over 3 holes. Each hole was a 700m
step out from the prior hole covering over 1.4 km of the conductive
trend. The remaining 4 km of strike of the conductor remains
untested and provides multiple additional targets for
exploration.
Highlights of each Drill
Hole
- CF24-001 was
drilled targeting a conductive anomaly along the eastern edge of a
gravity low anomaly. The drill hole was successful in encountering
anomalous radioactivity in the Athabasca Sandstone just above the
unconformity as well as a second interval of anomalous
radioactivity located 1.6 m into the basement. Anomalous
radioactivity was encountered in the Athabasca Sandstone with a
radioactive peak of 1,540 CPS in a 4.2 m interval that averaged 358
cps, including 0.3 m at 1,322 cps. This hole was successful in
identifying the trends of the geology and the true depth of the
unconformity. This data was used to adjust target parameters on
CF24-002 and 003.
- CF24-002 is
located 700 metres west of CF24-001 and is targeting an EM
conductor located within a gravity low. CF24-002 was a large
step-out that was successful in following up radioactivity
intersected in CF24-001. Anomalous radioactivity was encountered in
the Athabasca Sandstone at the unconformity with radioactivity of
333 cps over 3.4 m including 644 cps over 0.3 with a radioactive
peak of 771 cps. Radioactivity is associated with bleaching,
hematite and stockwork fractures
- CF24-003 is
located 700 m west along strike from CF24-002, and 1.4km west of
CF24-001 and targeted an EM conductor that was located within a
coincident gravity low. After the final adjustments were made to
the location of CF24-003, a deep-rooted conductive structure,
spanning 94.7 meters in down-hole thickness, was encountered. This
structure is associated with significant strong clay and chlorite
alteration and radioactivity that is above background.
Future Drill Program
Given the strong results a future drilling
program will be required to further test for uranium mineralization
at the Appaloosa target zone. Based on the significant alteration
intersected, a future drill program will have the objective of
testing for an unconformity uranium deposit up-dip from drill hole
CF24-003 as well as test the extent of the alteration along strike
to the East and West. Radioactivity detected in CF24-001 will be
followed up with newly re-targeted drill holes, informed by data
from CF24-003, as the modeled conductor was not intersected.
Pending Assays
The company has sent a total of 282 samples from
the 3 holes to be assayed at the SRC Geoanalytical Laboratories in
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The company is still awaiting the results
of the assays and will release assays when available.

Gamma Logging and Geochemical
Assaying
All core radioactivity was measured using a
RS-230 BGO Super-SPEC Handheld Gamma-Ray Spectrometer. Down hole
probing radiometric surveying was conducted with a Mount Sopris
2PGA-1000 downhole total gamma probe with a maximum depth of
investigation of 850 meters. The Company considers greater than 300
cps (on the borehole probe) to be anomalous radioactivity.
Radioactivity greater than 80 cps using the RS-230 handheld
scintillometer is considered to be “Above Background”. The
background radioactivity levels in the Appaloosa Target area are
considered 30-60 cps.
All drill core samples from the 2024 program
will be shipped to the Saskatchewan Research Council Geoanalytical
Laboratories ("SRC") in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, an ISO/IEC
17025/2005 and Standards Council of Canada certified analytical
laboratory. Stallion Uranium requests multi-element analysis by
ICP-MS and ICP-OES using total (HF:NHO3:HClO4) and partial
digestion (HNO3:HCl), boron by fusion. One half of the split core
samples are retained and the other half cores are sent to the SRC
for analyses. Blanks, standard reference materials, and repeats are
inserted into the sample stream at regular intervals by Stallion
Uranium geologists and SRC in accordance with industry-standard
quality assurance/quality control ("QA/QC") procedures.
All reported depths and intervals are drill hole
depths and intervals, unless otherwise noted, and do not represent
true thicknesses, which have yet to be determined. The reader is
cautioned that gamma probe readings are not directly or uniformly
related to uranium grades of the rock sample measured and should be
used only as a preliminary indication of the presence of
radioactive materials.
