Pine Ridge Uranium Project Delivers Excellent Initial Drill Results

 

 

 

 

 

Snow Lake Resources Ltd., d/b/a Snow Lake Energy (NASDAQ: LITM) a uranium exploration and development company, announces excellent initial drill results on its Pine Ridge Uranium Project, located in the prolific Powder River Basin in Wyoming, a 50/50 joint venture with Global Uranium and Enrichment Limited.

 

The Joint Venture has completed a total of 33 holes on Pine Ridge, for a total of 12,540m (41,140 ft) of drilling. The drilling has delivered encouraging intercepts including 1.1m at 780 ppm U3O8 within a broader interval of 3.5m at 540 ppm U3O8, and including 1.2m at 1,320 ppm U3O8 within a broader interval of 2.0m at 920 ppm U3O8.

 

Highlights

  • Drill results from the first 33 drill holes confirm the strong potential of Pine Ridge
  • Wide-spaced drilling focused on aggressively exploring near-surface roll front mineralisation, returned encouraging results, including:
    • 2.0m at 0.092% (920 ppm) U3O8 from 314.8m in PR25-017, including
      • 1.2m at 0.132% (1,320 ppm) U3O8 from 315.0m
    • 2.3m at 0.071% (710 ppm) U3O8 from 411.6m in PR25-008 including
      • 1.7m at 0.085% (850 ppm) U3O8 from 411.9m
    • 1.4m at 0.035% (350 ppm) U3O8 from 237.3m in PR25-004
    • 1.1m at 0.031% (310 ppm) U3O8 from 334.0m in PR25-005
    • 2.1m at 0.034% (340 ppm) U3O8 from 348.1m in PR25-007
    • 1.8m at 0.042% (420 ppm) U3O8 from 388.0 in PR25-009
    • 3.5m at 0.054% (540 ppm) U3O8 from 321.3m in PR25-031, including
      • 1.1m at 0.078% (780 ppm) U3O8 from 321.4m
    • 1.8m at 0.060% (600 ppm) U3O8 from 350.4m in PR25-023 including
      • 1.2m at 0.073% (730 ppm) U3O8 from 350.5m
    • 4.0m at 0.035% (350 ppm) U3O8 from 315.3m in PR25-027
    • 2.1m at 0.048% (480 ppm) U3O8 from 276.1m in PR25-033
    • 1.4m at 0.046% (460 ppm) U3O8 from 378.6m in PR25-020
  • Drilling is ongoing and is expected to continue through to the end of November 2025

 

CEO Remarks

 

“We are very pleased and encouraged with the initial drill results from our Pine Ridge uranium project in the Powder River Basin, Wyoming. The wide spaced drilling, designed to target roll-front uranium deposits, has confirmed the presence of redox boundaries and uranium mineralization, and continues to demonstrate the strong development potential of Pine Ridge. Our drill program will continue through the second half of 2025 as we target a maiden mineral resource estimate by year end,” said Frank Wheatley, CEO of Snow Lake.

Drill Program

 

Ongoing results are very encouraging as they have confirmed and further defined the original concept of multiple redox boundaries that are hosted by numerous sand horizons. The drill program was designed to test high-priority areas that were outlined by historical drilling with drill centers of approximately 150m (500 ft.). Drill results will continue to be evaluated, and infill drilling will take place to further outline roll front deposits and develop an inferred mineral resource estimate.

 

Details of drill results and drill collars are set out in Schedule A.

Pine Ridge Uranium Project – Overview

 

Pine Ridge is an In-Situ Recovery (ISR) uranium exploration project located in the southwestern Powder River Basin of Wyoming, the premier U.S. uranium basin. Pine Ridge is surrounded by existing uranium projects held by UEC and Cameco and is also located only ~15km from Cameco’s Smith Ranch Mill, which has a licensed capacity of 5.5Mlbs U3O8 p.a. The Smith Ranch mill is one of the largest uranium production facilities in the U.S.
