VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Stallion Uranium Corp. (the “Company” or “Stallion”) (TSX-V: STUD; OTCQB: STLNF; FSE: HM40) is pleased to announce that it has acquired by low-cost staking nine new prospective uranium exploration dispositions (or “claims”) in northern Saskatchewan. This increases Stallion’s total land package in the Southwestern Basin to 321,875 hectares (795,353 acres). The nine dispositions add an additional 19,361 hectares to Stallion’s 100% owned holdings in the Athabasca Basin.
“The recently completed geophysical survey over our Atha Energy JV project uncovered a significant number of previously unknown conductive corridors. Stallion, utilizing that data, was able to stake the extensions of high priority target areas and create a new high potential uranium project,” stated Drew Zimmerman, CEO. “The total land package we have been able to put together is unrivalled in the Southwestern Basin, not only in size, but also in the number of highly prospective target areas discovered. We believe that by deploying the latest exploration technologies to prioritize these targets, Stallion continues to significantly increase our probability of discovering the next significant uranium deposit needed to fuel a cleaner future.”

Darren Slugoski, Vice President Exploration, Canada, stated, “The new claims were strategically staked to cover anomalous geophysical signatures that look to extend from the adjacent ground held by Stallion’s JV project. These geophysical signatures are known to be associated with uranium mineralization in the basin, and Stallion was able to cover additional length of the high potential conductive corridors. Further expanding the number of tier one target areas under the company’s control.”
New Mineral Dispositions
Stallion staked an additional 19,361 hectares, of which 18,470 ha are contiguous to the company’s existing projects in the Southwestern Athabasca Basin. Another 891 ha are proximal to the companies Coffer project. These additional claims continue to increase Stallion’s land position in the area and cover more areas the company views as highly prospective. The addition of these claims expands the exploration land package directly east of the world class Arrow uranium deposit owned by NexGen Energy Ltd. See Figure 1 for the updated property mineral claim map location.
The newly staked claims, when combined with existing claims staked and announced January 17, 2024, allow for the creation of the 100% owned Upper Mirror River Project. The new project is 31,645 ha and covers extensions of target areas found from the recent Mobile MT survey completed over the company’s Atha Energy JV project announced on February 21, 2024. The new project hasn’t had any advanced exploration and or even an effective regional geophysical survey. The Company believes it has the potential to host several kilometre-scale under-explored prospective zones as seen in the recently received data. Stallion will look to follow its roadmap to discovery by implementing state of the art geophysical surveys to further advance the most compelling target areas. The exploration will focus on areas with magnetic lows and conductive geophysical signatures which have been known to correlate with uranium mineralization.
The Company further announces that on February 26, 2024, it extended its engagement with Volans Capital Corp. (“Volans”) to provided digital marketing and advertising services for an additional term of six (6) months commencing on February 16, 2024, in consideration of payments totalling an aggregate of USD $400,000.
