Standard Uranium Ltd. (TSXV: STND) has released preliminary results from its 2026 ground exploration program at the Corvo Uranium Project in northern Saskatchewan, confirming surface radioactivity readings as high as 48,000 counts per second and the discovery of a previously undocumented radioactive showing along the Brooklyn trend. The program, funded by earn-in partner Aventis Energy Inc. (CSE: AVE) and operated by Standard Uranium, ran from October 1 to 9, 2026. Investors may be watching these results closely as they are expected to feed directly into drill target refinement at the project.

Key Points

  • Standard Uranium Ltd. (TSXV: STND | OTCQB: STTDF | FSE: 9SU0)
  • 2026 prospecting program at the 12,363-hectare Corvo Project confirmed radioactivity readings up to 48,000 cps at the Manhattan East showing and discovered a new occurrence along the Brooklyn trend reaching 13,400 cps
  • 56 anomalous readings above 300 cps recorded, including eight above 10,000 cps; nine grab samples submitted to Saskatchewan Research Council Geoanalytical Laboratories with assays pending
  • Investors should watch for assay results from SRC and updates on supplementary geophysical programs ahead of a planned 2027 drill program

Manhattan East and Brooklyn Trend Radioactivity Results

The 2026 prospecting program recorded handheld scintillometer readings of 20,000 to 48,000 cps at the Manhattan East showing, a significant upgrade from the previously reported maximum of 10,600 cps at that location. An additional reading of 30,000 cps was measured approximately 130 metres northeast of Manhattan East at a location designated Manhattan NE. Along the Brooklyn trend, a known historical occurrence previously reported at 20,000 cps was upgraded to 36,000 cps in hematite-altered alkali granite gneiss. The release states that 56 readings above the 300-cps anomalous threshold were recorded in total, with eight exceeding 10,000 cps.

Newly Discovered Showing Along the Brooklyn Trend at Corvo

Prospecting during the October program identified a previously undocumented radioactive occurrence along the Brooklyn trend, returning readings of up to 13,400 cps within altered pegmatite outcrop. The release describes this as a new showing not previously documented on the project. Geological mapping also confirmed the presence of deformed and hydrothermally altered basement lithologies — including metasedimentary, calc-silicate, and granitic rocks — which the company characterises as favourable host environments for uranium and rare earth element mineralisation. These findings follow the winter 2026 inaugural drill program, which completed 2,457 metres in ten reconnaissance holes.

Pending Assays and Geophysical Program Design at Corvo

Nine outcrop grab samples collected during the program have been submitted to Saskatchewan Research Council Geoanalytical Laboratories in Saskatoon for uranium, rare earth element, and whole-rock analysis using ICP-MS or ICP-OES methods. Assay results have not yet been received. The release states that Standard Uranium is designing supplementary geophysical programs to refine drill targets by integrating new surface data with the winter 2026 drilling and geochemical datasets. A second drill program at Corvo is planned for 2027. The company noted that Aventis Energy funded the 2026 ground exploration program under a three-year earn-in option agreement allowing Aventis to acquire up to 75% of the project.
