Blue Sky Uranium Drilling Yields 1m @7,003ppm U3O8, Advances Prefeasibility Studies
Blue Sky Uranium completed 328 infill drill holes totalling 4,959m at the Ivana Deposit, intercepting high-grade uranium up to 1m @7,003ppm U3O8 and achieving at least 1m @1,000ppm U3O8 in 15% of holes. These results bolster geological confidence for resource upgrading and prefeasibility advancement at Amarillo Grande.
1. Investor Relations Retainer Strengthens Corporate Profile
Blue Sky Uranium Corp. (OTCQB: BKUCF) has engaged Maximus Investor Relations Ltd., led by veteran consultant Shawn Perger, under a one-year contract effective January 1, 2026.

2. Final Infill Drilling Delivers High-Grade Results at Ivana
The Company and joint-venture partner Ivana Minerales S.A. have completed a 328-hole infill drilling campaign at the Ivana Deposit, totaling 4,959 metres of reverse circulation drilling with an average hole depth of 15 metres. Assay highlights include 4 metres averaging 4,368 ppm U₃O₈ in hole AGI-884 (including 1 metre at 7,003 ppm and 1 metre at 6,237 ppm) and 2 metres averaging 4,433 ppm U₃O₈ in hole AGI-873. Approximately 15% of holes intercepted at least 1 metre grading 1,000 ppm U₃O₈ or higher, confirming continuity of high-grade horizons. The program achieved its objectives of confirming mineralization continuity, refining deposit boundaries and supporting the upgrade of inferred resources, providing critical data for forthcoming prefeasibility and feasibility studies.
3. Rigorous QA/QC and External Audit Underscore Data Reliability
Drilling was executed by Patagonia Drilling using an Atlas Copco FlexiROC D65 reverse circulation rig equipped with a triple cyclone to minimize sample loss. Samples were prepared at ALS in Mendoza (crushed to 70% <2 mm, pulverized to 85% <75 µm) and assayed at ALS in Lima via four-acid digestion and combined ICP-AES/ICP-MS. QA/QC protocols included insertion of blanks, duplicates and standards at a rate of one per ten samples, totaling 579 quality control samples (10.5% of the dataset). External auditors from Lions Gate Geological Consulting Inc. validated the results, affirming consistency with prior campaigns and deeming the combined dataset sufficiently robust for future resource estimation.
