Eagle Nuclear Begins 27,000-Foot Program at 37.7M-lb Aurora Deposit
Eagle Nuclear will drill 27,000 feet across 47 diamond holes at its Aurora project, which hosts 32.75 M lb indicated and 4.98 M lb inferred uranium. The 3–4-month program starts July 2026 with 2–3 rigs and will supply data for a Pre-Feasibility Study on resource, metallurgy and hydrogeology.
1. Aurora Drill Program Overview
Eagle Nuclear is launching a 27,000-foot drilling campaign at its Aurora Uranium Project, comprising 47 diamond drill holes designed to expand and define its resource. The deposit holds 32.75 million pounds of indicated and 4.98 million pounds of inferred uranium, making it the largest conventional uranium resource in the U.S.
2. Targeting Pre-Feasibility Study Deliverables
The program addresses five critical areas—resource expansion, classification, advanced metallurgy, rock mechanics and hydrogeology—with every hole logged by gamma probe and assayed for chemistry. Drilling will run 3–4 months starting July 2026 using 2–3 rigs, with existing capital fully funding the work and data feeding directly into the Pre-Feasibility Study.
