Strathmore Extends Agate Mineralization to Over 1300 Ft at Southern Trend
MWN-AI** Summary
Strathmore Plus Uranium Corporation (CSE: SUU) recently announced significant advancements in their 2025 exploration program at the Agate project, located in Wyoming's Shirley Basin Uranium District. Following the completion of Phase 1 drilling, which involved 45 drill holes, the company confirmed that mineralization in the Middle Sand's southern trend has now been extended to over 1,300 feet—adding more than 500 feet of mineralized ground in this session.
Key drilling results include notable intersections, such as hole AG-224-25 which showed 14.0 feet of mineralization at a grade of 0.071% eU3O8 and hole AG-245-25 with 19.5 feet at 0.040% eU3O8. The continuously growing northern trend now surpasses 5,200 feet, indicating substantial potential for further exploration and development.
Director John DeJoia expressed optimism about the Agate project's transformation into an in-situ recovery operation, aimed at supporting the increasing uranium demand in the U.S. nuclear energy sector. Adjacent to Strathmore's endeavors, UR Energy is also poised for uranium production in the Shirley Basin in 2026.
The drilling targeted the Eocene Wind River Formation, known for its high porosity, and recovered core samples that will be analyzed against gamma logging results to understand the mineralization better. The results from this initial phase will inform future drill site locations for Phase 2 exploration planned for autumn 2025.
The Agate project, encompassing 100 mining claims across about 2,066 acres, features historically significant uranium mining, with the potential for in-situ recovery, suggesting an excellent opportunity for Strathmore to capitalize on the evolving uranium market landscape.
MWN-AI** Analysis
Strathmore Plus Uranium Corporation (CSE: SUU) has recently reported promising results from its Phase 1 drilling program at the Agate project in Wyoming, significantly extending its mineralization reach. With over 1,300 feet added to the southern trend and the northern trend now exceeding 5,200 feet, Strathmore is demonstrating strong potential for further resource development in the growing uranium market. This is particularly relevant as the global demand for uranium continues to rise in response to the expanding nuclear energy sector in the USA.
The reported grades, including 14.0 feet at 0.071% eU3O8 and 19.5 feet at 0.040% eU3O8, reveal the presence of shallow mineralization, which is generally favorable for in-situ recovery (ISR) methods. As uranium production approaches a pivotal period, particularly with nearby competitor UR Energy initiating production in 2026, Strathmore’s ongoing exploration and potential ISR operations could present a lucrative opportunity for investors.
From a market perspective, Strathmore appears to be a compelling stock to consider within the uranium sector, given its expansions and strategic positioning. The continued exploration plans, coupled with a robust historical dataset from the Shirley Basin, enhance the likelihood of successful resource extraction in upcoming drilling phases.
Investors will want to watch for updates regarding the results of the drilling and assay tests as they will help to refine production estimates and ultimately influence stock performance. Furthermore, as uranium prices have experienced volatility, a well-timed entry could provide significant returns as the market stabilizes or moves upward in response to legislative shifts towards cleaner energy sources. Thus, Strathmore represents a solid investment potential amid an evolving energy landscape.

Kelowna, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 18, 2025) - Strathmore Plus Uranium Corporation (CSE: SUU) (OTCQB: SUUFF) (Strathmore" or "the Company") is pleased to update results from the Phase 1 drilling for the 2025 exploration season at the Agate project located in the Shirley Basin Uranium District of central Wyoming.
The Company completed the Phase 1 drilling last week (45 holes) resulting in the extension of the Middle Sand's southern trend to over 1,300 feet in length, adding over 500 feet of mineralization this year.* (see Map below of the Project Area) Highlights for the drilling along this shallow trend includes holes AG-224-25 (14.0 ft of 0.071% eU3O8 from 35.0-49.0 ft) and AG-245-25 core (19.5 ft @ 0.040% eU3O8 from 26.0-45.5 ft). The expansion of the southern, shallow trend is in addition to the ever-expanding northern trend which now exceeds 5,200 feet in length and is open-ended where additional drilling is planned in the future*(see NR dated July 9, 2024)
Mr. John DeJoia, Director of Strathmore stated "We still have open ended mineralization at both ends of the northern sand trend which now exceeds one mile in length. Approximately one mile south is the Middle sand trend which now exceeds over 1,300 feet in length and has not yet been limited by drilling. I have continued optimism about the Agate project and its hopeful development into an in-situ recovery project to produce uranium for the expanding nuclear fleet in USA."
In addition to exploration, core drilling was also performed, recovering samples from 5 holes within both the Middle and Lower sands, including hole AG-244-25 core (23.5 ft of 0.076% eU3O8 from 79.5-103.0 ft). The core will be analyzed and chemically assayed for comparison to gamma logging results, in addition to by the University of Wyoming's ongoing research at Agate. Results of the recent Phase 1 drilling, table below, will provide targets for continued exploration during Phase 2.
Phase 1 of the 2025 drilling explored the Eocene Wind River Formation, an arkosic-rich sandstone which is noted for its high porosity and permeability, and high groundwater transmissivity. In addition to continued exploration of the northern trend in the Lower Sand, the drilling targeted the discovered shallow mineralization of the southern trend within the Middle sand. The Middle sand is thicker than the underlying Lower sand and historically has produced most of the uranium in the Shirley Basin district. Nearby, UR Energy is actively advancing their Shirley Basin In-Situ Satellite operation, which is planned to commence uranium production in 2026.

Note. The geophysical results are based on equivalent uranium (eU3O8) of the gamma-ray probes calibrated at the Department of Energy's Test Facility in Casper, Wyoming. A geophysical tool with gamma-ray, spontaneous potential, resistivity, and drift detectors was utilized. The reader is cautioned that the reported uranium grades may not reflect actual concentrations due to the potential for disequilibrium between uranium and its gamma emitting daughter products.
- Mineralized holes with thicker, higher-grade intercepts are interpreted to be in the Near Interface, Nose (main front), or Near Seepage ground located within the projected roll front system.
- Mineralized holes with thinner, below cutoff grade intercepts are interpreted to be in the Limb/Tails or Remote Seepage ground located behind (altered) or ahead (reduced) of the projected roll front system, respectively.
- The drill results were determined using thickness and grade % cutoffs of 2-ft and 0.015% eU3O8.
The 2025 drilling was completed by Wind River Drilling utilizing a mud-rotary rig and the geophysical logging by Hawkins CBM Logging, both of Wyoming. Mr. Terrence Osier, PG, VP Exploration for Strathmore, supervised the drilling activities. The results of the exploration will be analyzed and assist in the layout of additional drill sites proposed for the Phase 2 drilling in autumn 2025, and for completion this winter of a technical report on the Project.
About the Agate Property
The Agate property consists of 100 wholly owned lode mining claims covering ~2,066 acres. Uranium mineralization is contained in classic Wyoming-type roll fronts within the Eocene Wind River Formation, an arkosic-rich sandstone. Historically, 53 million pounds of uranium were mined in Shirley Basin, including from open-pit, underground, and the first commercial in-situ recovery operation in the USA during the 1960s. At the property, the uranium mineralization is shallow, from 20 to approximately 150 feet deep, much of which appears below the water table and likely amenable to in-situ recovery. Kerr McGee Corporation, the largest US uranium mining company at the time, drilled at least 650 holes across the project area in the 1970s, delineating several targets of potential mineralization. Strathmore completed 200 holes during the 2023 and 2024 drilling programs, including installation of five monitor wells for groundwater studies.
About Strathmore Plus Uranium Corp. Strathmore is focused on discovering uranium deposits in Wyoming, and has three permitted uranium projects including Agate, Beaver Rim, and Night Owl. The Agate and Beaver Rim properties contain uranium in typical Wyoming-type roll front deposits based on historical drilling data. The Night Owl property is a former producing surface mine that was in production in the early 1960s.
