Noble Plains Uranium Extends Consistent Mineralization at Duck Creek Project in Wyoming

Core Insights - Noble Plains Uranium Corp. has announced the completion of twenty additional drill holes at its Duck Creek Project, demonstrating strong mineralization and supporting the advancement towards a compliant uranium resource in 2026 [1][2]. Drill Results - The latest drill results show significant mineralization, with notable intersections including: - Hole 25-28-047: 17.5 feet of 0.072% eU3O8, including 6.0 feet of 0.142% eU3O8 - Hole 25-21-053: 22.5 feet of 0.063% eU3O8, including 4.0 feet of 0.201% eU3O8 - Hole 25-21-058: 22.0 feet of 0.051% eU3O8, including 3.0 feet of 0.118% eU3O8 - Hole 25-21-059: 8.0 feet of 0.165% eU3O8, including 3.0 feet of 0.136% eU3O8 [2][3]. Geological Model and Resource Estimation - The drilling program has covered a strike length of approximately 1.5 kilometers (0.93 miles) and is maintaining a Grade-Thickness (GT) of 17% better than the higher end of the Exploration Target range outlined in the Duck Creek NI43-101 report [6]. - The exploration target ranges from 2.37 million tons at 0.03% U₃O₈ to 5.45 million tons at 0.05% U₃O₈, based on GT values of 0.2 and 0.598 respectively [6]. Drilling Program Objectives - The ongoing drill program is structured around three key objectives: 1. Confirmation of historic data through 16 holes 2. Expansion of shallow mineralization with approximately 130 holes 3. First-ever drilling of the Fort Union Formation with 10 holes [8][10][12]. Market Context - The uranium market is tightening, with increasing long-term contracting and spot prices, making projects that demonstrate scale and continuity more valuable [5][6]. Future Outlook - Noble Plains will continue to report results in batches as the drilling program progresses, with expectations of advancing towards its first compliant uranium resource [14].
