Standard Uranium Reports Promising Results from Winter 2024 Drill Program at Atlantic Project

Standard Uranium Ltd

Standard Uranium Vice President of Exploration Sean Hillacre joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide a detailed summary of the analytical results from the inaugural winter 2024 drill program at the Atlantic Project in Saskatchewan. The results highlight significant uranium mineralization across multiple drill holes, marking a promising development for the project. The Atlantic Project, currently under option to ATCO Mining, which funded the 2024 drill program, has confirmed highly anomalous uranium in drill holes ATL-24-002, ATL-24-004A, and ATL-24-005A. These findings align with prospective structural zones and favorable alterations, including dravite-rich clays. Multiple zones of elevated uranium were intersected, linked to the sub-Athabasca unconformity and basement structural zones, indicating the presence of a uranium-fertile system. Hillacre expressed optimism about the significant discovery potential along the untested portions of the east-west conductor system within the Atlantic Project. The company is planning supplementary geophysical surveys over the central claim blocks, which will provide additional target areas for phases II and III of the drilling program. These surveys aim to explore further the untested gravity low anomalies on the western block, potentially unveiling more high-value uranium zones. Standard Uranium's continued exploration efforts at the Atlantic Project highlight the substantial upside for new discoveries and reinforce the project's strategic importance in the company's portfolio. The positive results from the winter 2024 drill program lay a strong foundation for future exploration and development activities in this highly prospective region.

Arrow Exploration Announces Successful Production and Future Plans at Carrizales Norte Field

Arrow Exploration Corp

Arrow Exploration CEO Marshall Abbott joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share significant updates on the company's operational activities, focusing on the multi-horizon Carrizales Norte field in the Tapir Block, located in the Llanos Basin of Colombia. Arrow has successfully commenced production from the first of four planned Ubaque horizontal wells for 2024. This inaugural horizontal well on the Carrizales Norte "B" pad has exceeded expectations, achieving a restricted flow rate of 3,150 barrels of oil per day (BOPD) gross, with less than 1% water cut while still recovering load fluid. Abbott detailed that this well was drilled to a total measured depth of 11,680 feet, featuring a horizontal section of approximately 2,042 feet. The pay zone is composed of clean sandstone, exhibiting consistent 28% porosity and high resistivity, characteristics similar to those observed in previous wells. The drilling rig has now been relocated to the second cellar on the Carrizales Norte B Pad. The company plans to drill a dedicated water disposal well (CNB-2) next. Following this, Arrow Exploration intends to drill three additional horizontal wells on the B pad, with longer horizontal sections expected to enhance production rates and ultimate recovery. Additionally, the company will drill the Baquiano-1 exploration well, which aligns with the trend of the Carrizales Norte field. These developments underscore Arrow Exploration's strategic efforts to optimize production and enhance recovery rates at the Carrizales Norte field, reinforcing the company's commitment to expanding its operational footprint and maximizing resource extraction in the Llanos Basin.

G Mining Ventures Corp Provides Positive Update on Tocantinzinho Gold Project

G MINING VENTURES CORP

G Mining Ventures Corp CEO Louis-Pierre Gignac joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share an encouraging update on the commissioning progress of the Tocantinzinho Gold Project in Brazil. This ambitious project is designed to produce approximately 175,000 ounces of gold annually over its initial 10.5-year mine life and remains on track and within budget for commercial production in the second half of this year. Gignac informed Proactive that ore was introduced into the grinding circuit on June 10, following the receipt of the hot commissioning permit from the Pará State Environmental Agency (SEMAS). These permits allow for the mining and processing of ore, disposal of tailings, as well as the selling and exporting of gold. Once the project reaches a steady state, the Tocantinzinho Gold Project (TZ) is set to become Brazil’s third-largest primary gold mine. To date, approximately 2.0 million tonnes of ore have been stockpiled. This includes 1.5 million tonnes grading 0.77 g/t Au in the low-grade stockpile and 0.5 million tonnes grading 1.29 g/t Au in the high-grade stockpile. The initial phase of hot commissioning will utilize the low-grade stockpiled ore, with plans to progressively feed higher-grade ore as production ramps up. The goal is to achieve a planned throughput of 4.7 million tonnes per year, advancing towards the higher-grade hard rock as mining operations progress. Additionally, Gignac highlighted a merger with Reunion Gold, involving their Oko West project in Guyana. This merger aims to create a larger company and achieve gold production of at least 500,000 ounces annually from the combined assets. The transaction is pending shareholder approval, with a meeting scheduled for July 9th. Contact Details Proactive North America +1 604-688-8158 na-editorial@proactiveinvestors.com
