Uranium companies in the spotlight
Cosa Resources (TSXV:COSA) announced it had begun drilling at its 100-per-cent-owned Ursa Uranium Project in the Athabasca Basin. Drilling will take place at the Kodiak target area and will follow up a significant zone of sandstone alteration and structure with geochemical enrichment intersected by 2024 drill hole UR24-03.
Skyharbour Resources (TSXV:SYH) revealed it had also begun drilling at its 100-per-cent-owned, 35,705-hectare, high-grade Moore Uranium Project in the Athabasca Basin.
The project is approximately 15 kilometres east of Denison Mine’s Wheeler River project and proximal to regional infrastructure for Cameco’s Key Lake and McArthur River operations.
Finally, Tisdale Clean Energy (CSE:TCEC) stated it had amended its option agreement with Skyharbour Resources related to Tisdale’s option to earn up to a 75 per cent interest in the South Falcon East uranium project in the Athabasca Basin.
The amendment extends cash and work commitments for the project for the remainder of 2024 into 2025 and requires Tisdale to issue 2.5 million common shares to Skyharbour on or before Aug. 30, 2024, and to pay Skyharbour C$1.27 million on or before Feb. 28, 2025.
