VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stallion Uranium Corp. (the "Company" or "Stallion") (TSX-V: STUD; OTCQB: STLNF; FSE: HM40) is pleased to announce that it has acquired by staking three new prospective uranium exploration dispositions (or “claims”) in northern Saskatchewan, increasing Stallion’s total land package to 313,381 hectares (774,381 acres). The three dispositions add an additional 13,175 hectares to Stallion’s 100% owned holdings in the Athabasca Basin.
“In the Athabasca Basin, home to the highest-grade uranium deposits in the world, landholdings have become an increasingly competitive environment. With this staking we have added over 32,000 highly prospective acres to what was already the largest exploration project in the prolific southwestern Athabasca Basin,” stated Drew Zimmerman, CEO. “This addition builds on Stallion’s strategy to secure large, high potential land packages and work to advance the most compelling target areas towards drill testing, giving the company the highest probability of discovering the next significant uranium deposit.”
Darren Slugoski, Vice President Exploration, Canada, stated “The new claims were strategically staked as they complement our existing properties based on the most current data available. The claims host magnetic signatures which could represent the extensions of structural anomalies from the adjacent dispositions held by the company and provide additional areas of interest.”

New Mineral Dispositions
Stallion staked an additional 13,175 hectares contiguous to the company’s existing projects in the Western Athabasca Basin. These additional claims not only increase Stallion's land position in the area but cover areas the company views as highly prospective. The growth of the exploration package is directly east of the world class Arrow uranium deposit owned by Nexgen Energy Ltd. See Figure 1 for the updated property mineral disposition map location.
The newly staked claims, when combined with existing claims, allow for continuous coverage of key geological features identified by the company. The claims have never been drill tested and host several kilometre-scale under-explored prospective zones. Stallion will look to follow its roadmap to discovery by implementing state of the art geophysical surveys looking to advance the most compelling target areas. The exploration will focus on areas with magnetic lows and conductive geophysical signatures which have been known to correlate with uranium mineralization.
