Premier American Uranium Inc. has successfully concluded its 2025 exploration drilling campaign at the Cyclone ISR Uranium Project in Wyoming, reporting robust final results that have significantly expanded the known mineralized footprint. The Toronto-based company, trading under the symbols TSXV: PUR and OTCQB: PAUIF, announced the completion on January 14, 2026, highlighting the discovery of new uranium zones and the extension of existing mineralization.
Expanding the Uranium Footprint in Wyoming's Great Divide Basin
The 2025 program, which commenced on July 16, 2025, focused on the Cyclone Rim target area within the company's wholly-owned project. Situated in the prolific Great Divide Basin of south-central Wyoming, the Cyclone project lies in a strategic location near established operations, including Ur-Energy Inc.'s Lost Creek ISR uranium mine and Uranium Energy Corp.'s Sweetwater production facility.
The primary objective was to further define sandstone-hosted uranium mineralization initially outlined during the 2024 exploration season. The company completed 25 conventional mud rotary drill holes for a total of 17,160 feet of drilling. Impressively, 13 of the 25 holes intersected uranium mineralization at grades of 0.01% eU₃O₈ or higher.
Notable Intercepts and New Mineralized Trends
The drill results yielded several high-grade intercepts, with hole CR25-001 standing out as the project's best-known intercept to date. It returned 15.5 feet grading 0.09% eU₃O₈, including a three-foot thick zone averaging an impressive 0.229% eU3O8.
A key achievement of the 2025 program was the substantial expansion of the mineralized system. Drilling in 2024 had identified flat-lying uranium mineralization along a half-mile east-west trend. The latest campaign has not only extended that trend but also identified a substantial second, north-south trending zone of mineralization spanning 1.5 miles. Both mineralized zones remain open in multiple directions, indicating strong potential for further growth with additional drilling.
Leadership Optimistic for Future Exploration
Colin Healey, CEO of Premier American Uranium, expressed strong encouragement from the season's results. "We are encouraged by the strong results returned from drilling at Cyclone Rim this season," Healey stated. "With each phase, our understanding of the mineralized system improves... The 2025 program not only delivered the best-known uranium-mineralized intercept to-date at the Project, but also succeeded in extending the ½-mile mineralized trend... and identified a promising new, large, 1.5-mile mineralized trend, for future follow-up."
Healey congratulated the technical team on their field execution and emphasized that the data collected will be crucial for optimizing the company's 2026 exploration initiatives. The focus remains on expanding known zones and uncovering new areas of potential mineralization within the Cyclone project, contributing to the strategic development of domestic uranium resources in a well-established mining jurisdiction.
