Aventis Energy's winter 2026 drill program at the Corvo uranium project returned anomalous uranium in all ten holes, with 25 km of structural corridors still to test.
Aventis Energy said Monday that all ten drill holes from its winter 2026 program at the Corvo uranium project in the eastern Athabasca Basin returned anomalous uranium enrichment. The result confirms the presence of a basement-hosted uranium system across multiple target areas, the company said.
The program, funded by Aventis and operated by Standard Uranium (CSE:STND), completed 2,457 metres of reconnaissance drilling at the Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Tribeca targets. One hole was abandoned due to ground conditions. Partial-digestion uranium assays showed elevated levels of uranium, boron, and other pathfinder elements in every hole. One hole also returned local intervals of rare earth oxides above 0.1%.
Michael Mulberry, Aventis’ chief executive, said the results reinforce confidence in the system’s fertility. The project has more than 25 kilometres of prospective structural corridors still untested.
The results add momentum to uranium exploration in the Athabasca Basin, a region that already hosts Cameco’s high-grade mines. Standard Uranium, which holds the project under a three-year earn-in option, gains validation of its geological model. For the broader uranium junior space, consistent hits across a wide area suggest the basin’s eastern margin may host additional undiscovered deposits.
The next catalyst is follow-up drilling to test the remaining structural corridors. No timeline has been set.
