Standard Uranium identifies new drill targets at Sun Dog

Standard Uranium Ltd (TSX-V:STND, OTCQB:STTDF) has generated multiple new priority drill targets and confirmed uranium mineralization from its 2024 drill campaign at its Sun Dog project in northern Saskatchewan.
The firm completed a high-resolution ground gravity survey across three target areas covering the Wishbone, McNie, and Armbruster South target zones and identified several high-priority drill targets, according to a statement from Standard Uranium.
Third-party analysis of the data delineated gravity anomalies that, when combined with crosscutting faults, surficial uranium showings, and geochemical anomalies, point to newly prospective areas for further exploration.
Sean Hillacre, president and vice president of exploration of Standard Uranium, told investors that the results “provide proof of concept” for the firm’s exploration model.
"We are very encouraged by the results of the first pass drilling at the previously untested Wishbone target,” Hillacre added.
The 2024 drill program, funded by Aero Energy under a three-year earn-in option agreement, returned anomalous uranium from all eight holes drilled at Wishbone. One hole intersected highly anomalous basement-hosted uranium along with prospective structure and alteration. Another confirmed the presence of structurally-hosted dravitic clay, commonly associated with uranium mineralization.
Standard Uranium said the findings support a favorable geological environment for uranium deposition. The company now plans a second phase of drilling to follow up on the results and expand exploration across other regional zones, including McNie, Armbruster South, and Spring Dome.
Sun Dog spans more than 48,000 acres and is located near the historic Gunnar Mine, which produced approximately 18 million pounds of uranium between 1953 and 1981.
Hillacre said the broader project area still holds “several more kilometers of prospective corridor strike length that remain untested by modern exploration methods.”
