UUSA Receives Permits to Drill Apex!
Amid uranium spot prices hit a 15-year high today, Kraken Energy (UUSA.c UUSAF) announced major news, having received permits to drill its 100% owned, past-producing flagship Apex Uranium Property in Nevada!
With approval to drill up to 2,200m in 24 holes from 8 pads, UUSA expects to commence drilling before the end of 2023. This inaugural drill program will test high-priority targets immediately northwest and along trend of the historic Apex Uranium Mine in central Nevada.
The Apex Uranium Mine was Nevada's largest past-producing uranium mine with a 17.5km mineralized trend which produced over 100,000 pounds of U3O8 in the 1950s at an average mining grade of ~0.25% U3O8.
Historic drilling results include results of up to 3.1 m (10 ft) at 1.33% U3O8, 34.1 m (112 ft) at 0.37% U3O8 and 15.2 m (50 ft) at 0.51% U3O8
UUSA CEO Matthew Schwab commented:
"The emergence of this 2 km long, high priority target area along trend of the historic Apex Uranium Mine is very exciting for the Kraken team. With an approved drill permit now in hand and the environmental bond paid, we are ready to commence our maiden drill program at the Apex Uranium Property,"
"As our understanding of the property has continued to develop, the multi-layered anomalies from radon and geophysical surveys (electromagnetic and magnetic) combined with our ground truthed geological model presents excellent discovery potential for the upcoming drill program at our flagship uranium property in Nevada."
This news follows UUSA's significant expansion of the Apex Property on Nevada Bureau of Land Management ground that covers the potential northwest extension of uranium mineralization from the mine, as well as the identification of multiple high-priority drill targets comprising coincident geophysical and radon anomalies along a 2.0km trend northwest of the Apex Mine and within the newly expanded BLM ground.
