Strathmore Stakes 186 Acres Adjacent to Cameco’s Shirley Basin Assets
CCJ•Strathmore Plus Uranium staked nine lode claims covering 186 acres next to Cameco’s Shirley Basin assets, extending its Agate project by 2,500 feet after drill hole AG-292-26 yielded 14.5 feet of 0.063% eU3O8 at 81.5–96 feet. The new trend lies in shallow Middle Sand roll fronts amenable to in-situ recovery.
1. Claim Expansion Near Cameco Assets
Strathmore staked nine lode claims totaling 186 acres east of drill hole AG-292-26, bordering Cameco’s Shirley Basin holdings and extending the Agate project boundary by roughly 2,500 feet along a newly discovered mineralization trend.
2. Drill Results Confirm New Uranium Trend
Drill hole AG-292-26 encountered 14.5 feet of 0.063% eU3O8 from 81.5 to 96 feet in the Middle Sand unit, marking a continuous roll front mineralization open in multiple directions and suggesting further deposit expansion potential.
3. In-Situ Recovery Potential
The uranium mineralization lies between 20 and 150 feet deep, much below the water table, indicating favorable conditions for in-situ recovery that could mirror adjacent satellite operations now producing since April 2026.
4. Implications for District Growth
The Agate project’s proximity to historic producers and ground flanking Cameco’s area underscores Shirley Basin’s district‐scale potential, prompting ongoing land reviews and future drilling aimed at linking to major mineralization channels eastward.
