AERO: Advancing High-Grade Uranium Discoveries (Video) Aero Energy Ltd. (AERO.v or AAUGF for US investors) continues to make significant strides in uranium exploration within Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin.
The company recently garnered attention through a video summarizing its 2024 summer drilling program at the Sun Dog Uranium Project. Following the video, Aero released two important updates: the closure of a CAD $2 million non-brokered private placement and the release of high-grade uranium assay results from the Sun Dog prospecting program. Together, these developments underscore Aero’s strong positioning in the uranium sector.
Video Highlights
-
Exploration Results: The summer program focused on drilling eight holes, seven of which returned elevated radioactivity readings, peaking at 1,582 counts per second (cps).
-
Surface Discoveries: Aero identified uranium mineralization in grab samples from the Spring-Dome area, with assays reaching up to 13.0% UO.
-
Potential for Expansion: Despite these findings, only 1% of Aero’s 250,000-acre land package has been explored, indicating vast untapped potential.
-
Winter Plans: Geophysical surveys and winter drilling are planned to refine targets and build on the promising results.

Closure of Private Placement
After the interview, Aero announced the completion of its non-brokered private placement, raising CAD $2,034,218.85. This funding is crucial for supporting ongoing exploration and operations. Proceeds from will finance Canadian exploration expenses and general working capital.
High-Grade Uranium Assay Results
Aero also released additional assay results from its Sun Dog prospecting program since the interview, confirming significant uranium mineralization:
-
Spring-Dome Target: Visible uranium mineralization with surface assays up to 13.0% UO and strong radioactivity exceeding 65,535 cps.
-
Wishbone Target: Graphitic metapelite samples returned assays up to 0.32% UO, reinforcing the area’s exploration potential.
-
McNie Target: Boulder sampling yielded assays up to 0.25% UO, with multiple untested geophysical targets along major fault lines.
Market and Strategic Context
Aero’s work occurs against a backdrop of rising uranium demand, driven by global decarbonization and energy demands tied to electrification and artificial intelligence. Operating in Saskatchewan’s secure jurisdiction enhances Aero’s position in meeting these needs while reducing reliance on international producers.
Aero Energy’s summer successes, coupled with strategic funding and high-grade discoveries, solidify its potential as a key player in the uranium sector. With underexplored holdings and plans for continued drilling, Aero remains one to watch in this growing market.
