AERO.v Announces Significant Radioactivity Intersection Aero Energy Ltd. (Ticker: AERO.v or AAUGF for US investors) is making significant strides in the historic Uranium City district within Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin.
Today the uranium junior announced the intersection of strong radioactivity in the second drill hole (M24-017) of its 2024 exploration drilling program at its Murmac Project.
An average of 1,309 counts per second was recorded over 8.7 meters in graphitic pelite, with up to 33,600 counts per second using a handheld RS-125 Spectrometer, associated with visible uranium mineralization.
AERO CEO, Galen McNam,ara stated, “The discovery of strong radioactivity in only the second hole ever drilled by the Company confirms our exploration thesis, underscores the prospectivity of the search-space, and opens up many interesting discovery possibilities."
The drilling at Murmac is still ongoing, with the drill core currently logged to a depth of 94.5 meters. The strong radioactivity is primarily hosted in structured graphitic pelite, immediately below the contact with hematized quartzite, approximately 70 to 78 meters vertically below the surface.
AERO is currently planning appropriate follow-up holes to further investigate the zone of strong radioactivity. The company has approved 11 high-priority targets at Murmac for drilling, with multiple others under consideration.
Systematic collection of drill core samples is underway, and all samples will be submitted to SRC Geoanalytical Laboratories in Saskatoon for UO assay and multi-element characterization.
