Strathmore Plans 5,000-Foot, Five-Hole Drill Program Beside Cameco’s Gas Hills Project
CCJ•Strathmore Plus Uranium is launching a five-hole, 5,000-foot exploration drill program at its Beaver Rim project in Wyoming’s Gas Hills district in late July. The 278-claim, 5,744-acre project borders Cameco’s fully permitted Gas Hills in-situ recovery site, which holds 13.3 million pounds of uranium resources.
1. Drill Program Details
Strathmore Plus Uranium will mobilize a drill rig in late July to complete five exploration holes totaling 5,000 feet in the West Diamond area of Beaver Rim. The program aims to test roll-front uranium mineralization observed at depths between 700 and 1,100 feet during 2024 drilling on the eastern Sage claims.
2. Project Location and Resources
Beaver Rim covers 278 wholly owned mining claims across 5,744 acres immediately south of Cameco’s Gas Hills in-situ recovery operations. The broader Gas Hills district has produced over 100 million pounds of uranium, with an estimated 50–100 million pounds remaining in less-explored southern zones.
3. Impact on Cameco
Success at Beaver Rim could identify new uranium deposits trending southward from Cameco’s 13.3 million-pound resource base, potentially influencing regional exploration focus and future supply dynamics near Cameco’s fully permitted site.
