Mustang Energy Corp. Launches Drilling at Surprise Creek Project
VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Mustang Energy Corp. (CSE: MEC, OTC: MECPF, FRA: 92T) is thrilled to announce the official start of its first diamond-drilling initiative at the Surprise Creek Uranium-Copper Project. This exciting venture is set in a promising area close to the renowned Athabasca Basin, specifically in a region known for its rich mineral resources.
Drilling Program Overview
The helicopter-supported drilling program is designed to investigate priority targets identified along the Surprise Creek Fault Zone. This area has a promising history, characterized by high-grade uranium surface samples and significant historical drilling results. To execute this ambitious project, Mustang has partnered with Base Diamond Drilling Ltd. to undertake approximately 2,000 meters of exploration. The focus will be on following up historical drilling data and enhancing the understanding of the mineralized zones, as well as testing several undrilled targets that emerged from recent geophysical surveys.
CEO's Message on Milestone Achievement
Nick Luksha, CEO of Mustang Energy, expressed enthusiasm about this major developmental step for the company. He stated, “Drilling has officially commenced, marking an exciting milestone for Mustang Energy. In just over a year, we’ve acquired more than 140,000 hectares, secured key permits, and built strong relationships with industry leaders and First Nations communities. With our trading activities exceeding 100 million shares and over $8 million raised, we are well-positioned for significant growth as we commence exploration of our high-priority targets.”
Insights into the Surprise Creek Uranium-Copper Project
The Surprise Creek Project boasts a strategic location just 25 km northwest of the Beaverlodge Uranium District, where notable historic mines like Gunnar and Eldorado once operated. Recent surface sampling conducted by Thunderbird Resources Ltd. has yielded impressive assays, including results as high as 7.98% U?O?. Additionally, historical drilling at nearby prospects such as Bob Lake and Ellis Bay revealed noteworthy copper concentrations of up to 2.07% Cu and silver grades peaking at 27.3 g/t Ag.
Acquisition and Permitting Details
Mustang holds an option to acquire an 80% interest in the Surprise Creek Project from Thunderbird under an option agreement established in early June. This project has been granted full exploration permits by the Saskatchewan Government, allowing for continuous development and exploration efforts to uncover the true potential of the site.
