Geiger Energy Announces Winter Drill Program to Test Hook's Radioactive Alteration Systems

Core Insights - Geiger Energy Corp. plans to initiate a winter drill program at the Hook project in the Athabasca Basin to test two clay alteration systems identified in 2024, indicating strong potential for uranium mineralization [1][4][7] Exploration Strategy - The company holds extensive exploration land in two of Canada's most fertile uranium districts, the Athabasca and Thelon basins, allowing for year-round exploration and continuous news flow [3][10] - The winter drill program at Hook will complement the summer exploration at the Aberdeen Project, ensuring ongoing advancement across both districts [4][9] Hook Project Details - The winter 2026 drill program will focus on two main areas: the TT area and the TAB area, both of which have shown significant clay alteration and elevated radioactivity [5][6] - In the TT area, drill intersections revealed clay alteration ranging from 30 to 145 meters thick, with radioactivity levels up to 300 counts-per-second (cps) and uranium values reaching 98.4 parts per million (ppm) [5][6] - The TAB area exhibited strong fracturing and hydrothermal alteration with radioactivity up to 890 cps and uranium values between 61.6 to 119.3 ppm [5][6] Discovery Potential - The alteration styles observed at Hook are similar to those found in major deposits within the Athabasca Basin, suggesting a high discovery potential for uranium mineralization [4][6][19] - The presence of significant clay alteration systems and elevated radioactivity indicates promising mineralization potential beyond the ACKIO discovery [19] Aberdeen Project Update - The 2025 summer drill program at the Aberdeen Project concluded with over 5,300 meters drilled across 20 holes, revealing exceptional clay alteration and localized radioactivity [9][10] - Preliminary updates on the Aberdeen Project's results are expected to be released soon, providing further insights into the findings [9]
