Aventis Energy has released preliminary results from its 2025 exploration program at the Corvo Uranium Project in northern Saskatchewan, where field crews recently completed a two-week mapping and sampling campaign. The project is being advanced under a three-year earn-in option agreement with Standard Uranium.

Aventis geologists confirmed off-scale radioactivity at the historical Manhattan showing, with scintillometer measurements exceeding 65,535 counts per second. The team also documented 112 additional occurrences of anomalous radiation, including six surface readings above 10,000 cps. Prospecting work uncovered several previously undocumented radioactive showings, particularly in rock types considered favorable for uranium and rare earth element mineralization.

Grab samples collected from outcrops and boulders—including uranium-bearing zones at the Manhattan and SMDI 2052 showings—have been submitted for analysis at the Saskatchewan Research Council laboratories. Results will feed into the project’s first NI 43-101 technical report.

Geology and Next Steps

Mapping confirmed the presence of deformed and altered basement rocks, including metasedimentary, calc-silicate, and granitic lithologies, along key structural and electromagnetic conductor trends. Historical drilling in the area has already indicated uranium mineralization along an 800-metre strike length.

Aventis plans to follow up with a high-resolution ground gravity survey in the fourth quarter of 2025 to better define alteration zones. An inaugural diamond drill program is scheduled for early 2026, targeting high-priority areas identified through this year’s fieldwork and ongoing geophysical modeling.

Earlier this year, Standard Uranium commissioned airborne electromagnetic and magnetic surveys over Corvo, mapping more than 29 kilometers of conductive trends. The results are now being integrated with the 2025 surface program to refine drill targets.

The Corvo Project is one of several uranium exploration efforts underway in Saskatchewan’s prolific Athabasca Basin region, long considered one of the richest uranium districts globally. With uranium prices buoyed by renewed demand for nuclear energy, junior explorers are racing to advance projects toward the drilling stage.

Aventis CEO Michael Mulberry said the early results demonstrate the project’s potential: “With strong radioactivity confirmed at surface and favorable geological settings along key trends, Corvo is shaping up as a promising uranium target ahead of our planned drill program.”
