Geiger to Begin Hook Drill Program Targeting Radioactive Alteration Systems in February

Core Insights - Geiger Energy Corporation plans to initiate a drilling program at its Hook project in February 2026, targeting two areas with elevated radioactivity, TT and TAB, which were identified in 2024 [2][3][8] Project Overview - The Hook project is located in the Athabasca Basin of northern Saskatchewan and is considered fertile for additional mineralized systems, particularly in the TT and TAB areas [3][7] - The TT area is approximately 5.5 km southwest of the ACKIO discovery, with drill intersections showing clay alteration ranging from 30 to 145 meters in thickness across five drill holes [6][8] - The TAB area, located about 6 km northeast of ACKIO, has shown strong fracturing and hydrothermal alteration between 130 and 230 meters in thickness in two drill holes [6][8] Drilling Program Details - The drilling program will consist of three to five planned drill holes at both TT and TAB to test below the alteration envelopes and target potential mineralization sources [5][6] - The TT target will focus on a structural corridor similar to the ACKIO discovery, while the TAB target will investigate a broad gravity anomaly supported by anomalous lake sediment results [5][6] Geological Context - The alteration systems at TT and TAB share similarities with major uranium deposit corridors in the Athabasca Basin, indicating potential for significant mineralization [7][8] - The presence of clay alteration and elevated radioactivity suggests the possibility of additional uranium mineralization discoveries in the project area [7][8] Company Background - Geiger Energy holds approximately 390,000 hectares of exploration ground in the Athabasca Basin and an additional 95,519 hectares in Nunavut's Thelon Basin, focusing on high-grade uranium deposits [9][10]
