VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Aventis Energy Inc. is moving forward with significant steps at its promising Corvo Uranium Project in Saskatchewan. The company has announced the successful completion of an extensive high-resolution ground gravity survey and finalized preparations for its inaugural winter drilling campaign, with mobilization to the site slated for early February 2026.
Major Milestones Achieved Ahead of Drilling
The recently concluded geophysical work represents a critical phase in target refinement. The company contracted MWH Geo-Surveys (Canada) Ltd. to execute a detailed 50 by 200 metre ground gravity survey. This program covered more than 29 kilometres of electromagnetic conductor strike length across the property, comprising over 5,000 individual gravity measurement stations. The data is designed to pinpoint density anomalies that could indicate hydrothermal alteration systems, which are often associated with high-grade uranium mineralization.
Concurrently, Aventis has locked in the final plan for its first-ever drill program on the Corvo property. The program is fully funded by Aventis to meet its year-one expenditure requirements under its option agreement. All key service contracts have been secured, and crews are scheduled to mobilize in January to begin constructing site access.
Shallow, High-Priority Targets in a Premier District
The upcoming drill program is strategically focused on robust, shallow targets. Plans call for approximately 2,500 to 3,000 metres of drilling across 8 to 10 diamond drill holes. A significant highlight is that the target zones lie within 200 to 300 metres below the surface, making them relatively accessible.
One diamond drill will concentrate on the highest-priority area along the northern electromagnetic corridor. This includes investigating the never-before-drilled Manhattan Showing, a surface occurrence that previously returned a notable 8.10% U3O8 grade. This will be the first time drilling tests this showing in conjunction with its coincident modelled electromagnetic conductors.
The project's location adds considerable context to its potential. The Corvo Project is situated in the prolific eastern Athabasca Basin, approximately 60 kilometres east of Cameco's renowned McArthur River mine and about 45 kilometres northeast of Atha Energy's Gemini Mineralized Zone (GMZ).
Leadership Confident as Field Work Nears
Michael Mulberry, Chief Executive Officer of Aventis Energy, expressed strong optimism about the project's progression. "With drilling and mobilization plans finalized, we are excited to advance Corvo into its maiden drill program in early 2026," stated Mulberry. "Recent high-resolution geophysical work has refined shallow, high-priority uranium targets, including the never-before-drilled Manhattan Showing, reinforcing our confidence in the Project’s potential."
The company's systematic approach—combining advanced geophysical surveys with precise, shallow drilling—positions it to efficiently test one of the Athabasca Basin's newer exploration prospects as the 2026 field season gets underway.
