AERO Unveils High-Grade Uranium Results Up to 13.0% U₃O₈ The global uranium market is gaining momentum, driven by the rising demand for nuclear energy as a reliable, low-carbon power source. With increasing energy security concerns and a renewed focus on sustainable power solutions, uranium has re-emerged as a critical commodity.
Aero Energy Limited (TSXV: AERO; OTC Pink: AAUGF; FSE: UU3) is well-positioned to capitalize on this growing market.
Focused on high-grade uranium exploration in Saskatchewan’s historic Uranium City district within the Athabasca Basin, Aero is advancing a 250,000-acre land package through its flagship properties: Sun Dog, Strike, and Murmac.
Aero’s Sun Dog Uranium Project, covering 48,443 acres, is located near Uranium City on the northern margin of the Athabasca Basin.
The company’s 2024 exploration program has yielded exceptional surface assay results, confirming uranium mineralization across multiple target.
Surface assays at the project's Wishbone Target Area returned uranium mineralization ranging from 0.14% to 0.32% UO. Graphitic pelites with strong radioactivity (up to 22,300 cps) span approximately 5 km of strike length.
Eight holes were also drilled at this target, with AERO intersecting anomalous radioactivity (>300 cps) in seven.
Geochemical assays are pending, and these results are expected to guide further exploration.
At the Spring-Dome Target Area, new zones of uranium mineralization with visible uranium were discovered, with assays reaching up to 13.0% UO.
Historical drilling in this area also indicates untapped potential, with values up to 17.4% UO remaining inadequately tested.
Additionally, prospecting at the McNie Target Area uncovered uranium mineralization in paragneiss boulders, with assays up to 0.25% UO and over 4 km of untested VTEM conductor strike length.
Aero is now prioritizing additional geophysical surveys and refining drill targets for 2025. The focus remains on uncovering basement-hosted uranium deposits, similar to those found in the Athabasca Basin’s prolific deposits, such as Arrow and Triple-R.
The company’s work highlights the untapped potential of its extensive land package, with dozens of targets yet to be explored.
