Blue Sky Uranium Corp. (TSXV: BSK) (FSE: MAL2) (OTCQB: BKUCF) reported that its flagship Amarillo Grande uranium-vanadium project in Argentina, including the Ivana deposit, was included in Uranium 2026: Resources, Production and Demand, the latest edition of the internationally recognized “Red Book” published jointly by the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency and the International Atomic Energy Agency.
According to the company, the 2026 Red Book includes a national report for Argentina and summarizes Ivana’s exploration programs and key data from the deposit’s 2024 Preliminary Economic Assessment. Blue Sky said the figures are listed alongside and compared with other deposits and resources in Argentina and globally.

Based on the figures presented in the Red Book, Blue Sky said Ivana has the largest uranium resource among seven Argentine deposits when inferred resources are not included, and the third-largest total uranium resource.
The company also said the report identifies Ivana (Amarillo Grande) as one of four prospective uranium production centres in Argentina, alongside Laguna Salada, Sierra Pintada (in remediation) and Cerro Solo (in standby). Blue Sky said Ivana is listed with the highest nominal production capacity among those four, and that in a global comparison of planned and prospective uranium mines with open-pit style mine plans, Ivana is listed with the sixth-largest nominal production capacity.
In a statement included in the release, President and Chief Executive Officer Nikolaos Cacos said, “The inclusion of Amarillo Grande and the Ivana deposit in the latest NEA/IAEA Red Book provides important context for the Project within Argentina’s uranium sector, as well as within the broader global uranium community.”
Blue Sky said the Red Book discusses Argentina’s efforts to potentially re-establish domestic uranium production, noting the country historically produced 2,582 tU between 1952 and 1997 and has had no uranium production since 1997. The company added that the report notes exploration and development activities by government and industry aimed at supporting a potential restart, and that the IAEA conducted an Integrated Uranium Production Cycle Review Mission in November 2025 to assess Argentina’s readiness to restart uranium mining.
Blue Sky also noted that the Ivana resource information quoted in the Red Book is not reported in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 (NI 43-101) reporting standards, and that the Red Book re-classifies uranium resources to compare estimates across countries.
