Greenvale Energy Defines Potential Paleochannel Uranium Target at Thunderball’s Powers Prospect

(ASX: GRV) Greenvale Energy has defined a large-scale potential paleochannel uranium target at the Powers prospect within newly granted EL34157 at its Thunderball project in the Northern Territory. The north-to-south trending target extends over approximately nine kilometres in strike length and up to 400 metres in width. Ground-based mapping and sampling verified airborne radiometric survey data, with hand-held scintillometer and portable X-ray fluorescence measurements returning anomalous results between three and four times higher than the natural average background reading of six parts per million eU (enriched uranium). The strong correlation between ground radiometrics and the underlying Tindall Limestone supports the interpretation of potential calcrete-hosted mineralisation at Powers. The majority of paleochannel-style uranium deposits are located in the Chu-Sarysu and Syr-Darya basins of Kazakhstan, which produced 39% of global supply in 2024. Australia is currently the fourth-largest global producer of uranium, with annual production predominantly from the South Australian paleochannel system that hosts the Beverley-Four Mile deposits owned by Heathgate Resources and Quasar Resources. Greenvale is planning a close-spaced airborne electromagnetic survey to be completed across the Powers prospect in the coming months. The company has commenced the permitting and approvals process for maiden drilling at Powers. A project-wide review of Thunderball’s historical exploration data is also planned.

Appia Identifies Several Additional Uranium Drill Targets from MT Survey Lines 1 and 3 at Its Otherside Uranium Property

(CSE: API) (OTCQB: APAAF) Appia Rare Earths & Uranium Corp. announced that final interpretation of Lines 1 and 3 from its Q1 2026 SPARTAN Magnetotelluric (MT) survey has outlined several additional preliminary drill targets for potential uranium mineralization at its 100%-owned Otherside Uranium Property in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin. The priority targets include P-02, P-04, and P-06 on Line 1, and P-13, P-14, and P-15 on Line 3, forming part of a broader 16-target inventory that also includes previously identified Line 2 targets P-09, P-09a, and P-10. Line 1 returned features such as an interpreted offset in the unconformity near the south end of the profile, a strong conductor at the south end, and a historical ZTEM anomaly indicating a possible deeper conductive body within the basement. Line 3 identified evidence of disruption within the sandstone above the unconformity, ZTEM anomalies responding to shallower conductive features, increased conductivity and density in the sandstone, and MT conductors in the sandstone above the unconformity at P-14 and P-15. Appia plans a tight-spaced, high-resolution ground MT 3D grid and Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) surveys over the Line 2 priority corridor to further evaluate an ingress/egress exploration model based on interpreted geophysical similarities to McArthur River. The resulting model will refine the main conductor break and local structural setting before drilling, with the company aiming to advance the highest-priority targets to precision diamond drilling in 2027. The Otherside Property area is 15,146.129 hectares and is 100% owned by Appia.
