Athena Gold Corporation (CSE:ATHA)(OTCQB:AHNRF) (‘Athena Gold’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce the successful completion of its comprehensive till survey at its Laird Lake gold project, located in Ontario’s prolific Red Lake Gold District. The survey, completed ahead of schedule, marks a significant milestone in advancing the Company’s exploration strategy on this highly prospective 4,158-hectare property, which spans over 10 km of the Balmer-Confederation Assemblage contact.

 

The till survey, initiated in May 2025, involved the collection of 2,048 till and QAQC samples across the Laird Lake project, utilizing a grid spacing of 100 m x 100 m within the Balmer and Confederation assemblages and 200 m x 200 m in surrounding felsic intrusive bodies (Figure 1). The program employed the same sampling methodology as West Red Lake Gold’s successful till survey at the nearby Madsen Mine, which confirmed existing mineralization and outlined new zones (see West Red Lake Gold press release, January 29, 2025). The survey is designed to identify gold-in-till anomalies and refine high-priority drill targets, leveraging Athena Gold’s existing dataset, including LiDAR, detailed mapping, magnetics, and electromagnetic surveys.

‘We are thrilled to have completed the till survey at Laird Lake ahead of schedule, a testament to the efficiency and expertise of our exploration team and our partners at Bayside Geoscience,’ said Koby Kushner, President and CEO of Athena Gold. ‘The data from this survey is expected to significantly enhance our understanding of the project’s potential and guide our upcoming drilling campaign, which we hope to initiate this winter.’

 

The Laird Lake project, situated approximately 10 km west of West Red Lake Gold Mines’ flagship Madsen Mine and approximately 34 km northwest of Kinross Gold’s Great Bear project, is road-accessible and remains underexplored. The Company’s exploration crew remains on-site, with ongoing prospecting to further delineate high-priority targets. Athena anticipates receiving assay results from the till survey in late summer 2025, which will inform follow-up fieldwork and help define drill targets for a planned winter drilling program. The Company’s systematic, data-driven approach aims to de-risk its maiden drill program at Laird Lake, maximizing the potential for a significant gold discovery in this world-class gold camp.

Here’s a quick recap of the crypto landscape for Monday (July 14) as of 9:00 p.m. UTC.

Get the latest insights on Bitcoin, Ethereum and altcoins, along with a round-up of key cryptocurrency market news.

Bitcoin and Ethereum price update

Bitcoin (BTC) was priced at US$119,855, up by 0.6 percent in the last 24 hours. The day’s range for the cryptocurrency brought a low of US$119,417 and a high of US$121,191.

Bitcoin price performance, July 14, 2025.

Chart via TradingView

Bitcoin continued to ride tailwinds into a fresh trading week, moving above US$123,000 briefly. Strong institutional demand and over US$2.7 billion in spot ETF inflows have added support, allowing Bitcoin to hold at the US$119,000 level.

Market analysts pointed to strong institutional inflows and broader participation from family offices in Asia. Ethereum followed suit, climbing past US$3,000, while Solana and XRP each rose by approximately 3 percent.

The global crypto market cap now stands at US$3.81 trillion. Analysts say this could mark a structural shift, with bitcoin increasingly viewed as a reserve asset by both institutions and some central banks.

Stocks tied to crypto companies are soaring in tandem: Coinbase and Robinhood hit new highs, while Circle stock has risen over 500 percent since its IPO.

Popular trader Daan Crypto Trades eyed two key liquidation-related zones to watch next: US$115,500- US$116,500 and the area above US$120,000.

10x head of research Markus Thielen postulates that Bitcoin’s position as a defense against a financial crisis in the US is driving the rally: “The narrative has completely shifted: no one is talking about blockchain use cases or Bitcoin’s technological promise anymore. Bitcoin has become a macro asset, a hedge against unchecked deficit spending.”

Eugene Cheung, chief commercial officer of crypto platform OSL, told Cointelegraph that the asset has the potential to reach US$130,000 to US$150,000 by year-end.

Ethereum (ETH) was priced at US$2,997.69, up by 0.1 percent over the past 24 hours. Its lowest valuation on Monday was US$2,989.38 and its highest was US$3,061.18.

Altcoin price update

  • Solana (SOL) was priced at US$163.92, up by 0.7 percent over 24 hours. Its lowest valuation on Monday was US$162.99, and its highest was US$168.18.
  • XRP was trading for US$2.92, up 2.3 percent in the past 24 hours. The cryptocurrency’s lowest valuation was US$2.92, and its highest was US$3.02.
  • Sui (SUI) is trading at US$3.85, up by 10.6 percent over the past 24 hours. Its lowest valuation was US$3.86, and its highest was US$3.99.
  • Cardano (ADA) deviated from the trend, declining by 1.8 percent to US$0.7302 at the market’s closure, its lowest valuation of the day. Its highest valuation on Monday was US$0.7591.

Today’s crypto news to know

Bitcoin hits record US$123,000 as Congress kicks off Crypto Week

Bitcoin surged to a new all-time high of US$123,153.22 on Monday (July 14), driven by investor optimism ahead of major US congressional debates on crypto regulation.

The House of Representatives is set to consider three pivotal bills this week: the GENIUS Act, the CLARITY Act, and the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act.

These proposals aim to create a federal framework for stablecoins, clarify regulatory jurisdiction between the SEC and CFTC, and ban the Federal Reserve from issuing a central bank digital currency.

On Friday, White House crypto adviser Bo Hines said he anticipates the House will pass the GENIUS Act without amendments, sending it directly to the President. However, Maxine Waters, Ranking Member of the House Financial Services Committee, and Stephen Lynch, Ranking Member of the Digital Assets Subcommittee, responded by announcing their intention to lead Democrats in opposing this Republican-led legislation, which they have labeled as dangerous.

In early 2025, Waters introduced a stablecoin discussion draft, later proposing a bill to restrict US officials and their families from crypto promotion or ownership. She also suggested the US Treasury Secretary shouldn’t approve a foreign stablecoin regime if that nation’s leader publicly declared themselves a dictator. Ohio Representative Warren Davidson (R) separately proposed a CLARITY Act amendment to protect the right to use hardware or software wallets for lawful digital asset custody.

In a Monday MSNBC op-ed, Waters reiterated her opposition, claiming the proposed bills are designed by and for the crypto industry and pose a threat to consumers and investors

While Waters has put forward these amendments and alternative proposals, the current expectation is that the GENIUS Act will be brought to a floor vote under a restrictive rule, meaning her amendments are not expected to receive a direct vote today or this week as part of the GENIUS Act itself. Instead, her efforts serve to galvanize Democratic opposition and offer a contrasting policy vision, providing reasons for members to vote ‘no’ on the Republican-led legislation.

OKX joins Global Dollar Network

Crypto exchange OKX joined the Global Dollar Network, a consortium promoting its regulated US dollar-backed stablecoin for wider adoption, leveraging its compliance as a key differentiator.

The Global Dollar Network has attracted dozens of partners since its launch in November 2024, including Robinhood (NASDAQ:HOOD), Kraken, Anchorage Digital, Beam, DBS and Standard Chartered. Its token, Paxos, is regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, with reserves held by Singapore-based DBS Bank. In July, USDG expanded into the European Union, operating under the MiCA framework.

Institutional demand pushes Bitcoin ETF inflows to record levels

Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a wave of institutional capital last week, with more than US$1 billion flowing in on Thursday alone.

BlackRock’s IBIT fund led the surge, becoming the fastest ETF to surpass US$80 billion in assets. The inflows helped propel Bitcoin above US$120,000, reinforcing its position amid growing mainstream adoption and policy momentum.

Since the start of 2025, Bitcoin spot ETFs have attracted a staggering US$22.7 billion in cumulative inflows, the vast majority of which was captured by US-listed funds.

Grayscale files for IPO

Grayscale confidentially filed a Form S-1 with the US Securities and Exchange Commission for an initial public offering on July 14 (Monday), according to an announcement on the firm’s website.

Grayscale joins a growing list of crypto-native companies capitalizing on surging market interest. On Saturday (July 12), memecoin launch platform Pump.fun raised over US$500 million in an initial coin offering (ICO), selling out 33 percent of its maximum 1 trillion supply in about 12 minutes.

Grayscale’s official press release didn’t disclose details such as the number of shares it plans to sell or the anticipated price range. Its Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF (NASDAQ:GBTC) closed up 1.44 percent on Monday.

Bhutan sells US$59 Million in Bitcoin but retains US$1.4 Billion in holdings

Bhutan has sold over US$59 million worth of bitcoin in recent days, taking advantage of the cryptocurrency’s historic run past US$123,000.

According to blockchain analytics platform Lookonchain, the country offloaded 512.84 BTC in the past four days. Even after the sale, Bhutan still holds over 11,400 BTC, now valued at more than US$1.4 billion.

The sales are coordinated by Druk Holding & Investments, the country’s sovereign wealth fund, which operates a clean-energy mining program powered by hydropower.

Unlike Germany, which liquidated seized crypto, Bhutan actively mines and times its sales to coincide with price peaks. Officials have emphasized the environmental sustainability of their operations in line with national policy goals.

Skyharbour Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: SYH ) (OTCQX: SYHBF ) (Frankfurt: SC1P ) (‘Skyharbour’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce that its earn-in option partner, UraEx Resources Inc. (‘UraEx’), has commenced an inaugural 2,600-metre diamond drilling program at the South Dufferin Uranium Project (‘South Dufferin’ or the ‘Property’) located immediately south of the southern margin of the Athabasca Basin, proximal to Cameco’s Centennial deposit. UraEx can earn an initial 51% in the Property through CAD $4,600,000 in combined project consideration and up to 100% through $9,800,000 in combined project consideration consisting of cash and share payments as well as exploration expenditures over a five-year period.

 

  South Dufferin Property Map:  
https://skyharbourltd.com/_resources/images/SKY_SouthDufferin.jpg  

 

  2025 Exploration Program at South Dufferin:  

 

UraEx has initiated a fully-funded, comprehensive diamond drilling program for the summer of 2025, with approximately 2,600 metres of drilling planned across 8 to 12 drill holes. This is the first drilling program at the project in over six years. The helicopter-supported program is designed to test the southern extension of the Dufferin Lake Fault, which is interpreted to be the southern continuation of the structural corridor that hosts Cameco’s Centennial deposit and Dufferin Lake zone to the north. Drilling operations will be carried out by Apex Geoscience Ltd., under the supervision of Apex personnel, and with operations based out of a local contracting camp with helicopter support for daily drilling operations. The program will run through the summer and the budget for the program is approximately CAD $1.5 million funded by UraEx.

 

Drilling will prioritize high-potential target areas characterized by historical geochemical anomalies, gravity low signatures, and structural complexity along north-northeast-trending brittle fault corridors on the South Dufferin property. These features are interpreted to represent favourable pathways for uranium-bearing fluids and are considered key indicators for basement-hosted, high-grade uranium mineralization in the Athabasca Basin.

 

Tom Meredith, CEO and Director of UraEx stated: ‘Bordering Cameco’s Centennial project is surely a clear indication of our drill targets potential. The Athabasca Basin is the world’s leading uranium district, responsible for roughly 20% of global production and home to several tier-one discoveries. It has been well explored and understood for many years attracting billions of dollars of investment. Making a discovery is our fundamental goal and our technical team is excited with these targets.’

 

  South Dufferin Property Summary:  

 

The South Dufferin project totals 13,204 hectares in ten claims and is located immediately south of the southern margin of the Athabasca Basin in northern Saskatchewan. The property covers the southern extension of the Virgin River Shear Zone, which hosts known high-grade uranium mineralization at Cameco’s Dufferin Lake zone approximately 13 kilometres to the north (highlight historical drill results of 1.73% U 3 O 8 over 6.5 metres) and Cameco’s Centennial deposit approximately 25 kilometres to the north (includes historical drill results up to 8.78% U 3 O 8 over 33.9 metres).

 

  South Dufferin Property Map:  
https://skyharbourltd.com/_resources/images/SKY_SouthDufferin.jpg  

 

Historical exploration work on South Dufferin consists of airborne EM, magnetic, gravity and radiometric surveys, lake water and sediment sampling, prospecting and ground-truthing of airborne anomalies, geological mapping, and diamond drilling. Some of the historical drill holes intersected elevated uranium with locally anomalous base metal and boron concentrations as well as significant clay alteration.

 

Exploration potential exists for basement-hosted uranium mineralization associated with the Dufferin Lake fault and parallel faults within the Virgin Lake Shear zone. With numerous mineralized showings to the north of the project, exploration efforts at South Dufferin have advanced the project to a discovery-ready state. Significant exploration potential exists for basement-hosted uranium mineralization associated with the Dufferin Lake fault, which has an apparent offset of >200 m, and numerous other parallel faults within the Virgin River Shear zone. The project is drill-ready with several prospective targets warranting follow up work.

 

Most of the claims are in good standing for several years and there are no underlying royalties on the property except for a 2% NSR on one of the claims owned by a third-party.

President Donald Trump’s surprise announcement of 30 percent tariffs on imports from the EU and Mexico has triggered immediate backlash from various stakeholders, with less than three weeks to go before the tariffs take effect on August 1.

The tariffs—part of a broader series of trade penalties that include duties on copper and new levies on Canada, Japan, South Korea, and Brazil—have drawn sharp criticism from some of the country’s closest allies and trading partners.

In Canada, Prime Minister Mark Carney responded forcefully to the 35 percent tariff on Canadian goods, defending his country’s record and accusing Trump of undermining years of bilateral cooperation.

 

“Throughout the current trade negotiations with the United States, the Canadian government has steadfastly defended our workers and businesses,” Carney wrote on X. “We are building Canada strong.”

Canada’s United Steelworkers union condemned the copper tariffs, which they say threaten thousands of Canadian jobs.

“This is yet another escalation in Trump’s trade war that puts Canadian jobs and entire industries at risk,” said USW National Director Marty Warren in a July 10 release.

“Canadian workers didn’t start this trade war, but they’re the ones paying the price,” Warren added.

The union also urged Ottawa to protect its domestic industry: “More than 3,000 of our union’s members work in Canada’s copper industry alone. We need immediate and decisive action to protect these workers.”

Across the Atlantic, the EU has not yet issued a formal response, but analysts say the move could derail the bloc’s ongoing negotiations with Washington.

“Trump’s strategy is to make outrageous demands, then bring them down, then make another push to win some last-minute concessions,” Mathieu Savary, Chief Strategist at BCA Research, told Reuters.

He also predicted that Europe may eventually settle for a 10 percent tariff—’something that the EU can actually handle.’

The US move has also rattled Asia. South Korea’s Ministry of Trade said it would accelerate negotiations with the US following Trump’s threat of a 25 percent tariff.

The ministry said its goal is to “produce mutually beneficial results” and address trade imbalances.

Meanwhile, Japan’s Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba convened a national task force, saying he “deeply regrets” the tariffs and that Tokyo would continue to protect its national interests.

In Africa, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa blasted Trump’s 30 percent tariff on South African exports, calling it unjustified.

“This reciprocal tariff is not based on an accurate representation of trade data,” Ramaphosa said, maintaining that 77 percent of US exports to South Africa are already duty-free while urging the state to respond to a proposed trade framework submitted in May.

In Latin America, Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva took aim at Trump’s broader protectionist tone.

At the recent BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro, Lula said: “The world has changed. We don’t want an emperor.”

Lula was responding to Trump’s threat to slap 10 percent tariffs on BRICS nations if they pursued ‘anti-American’ policies. The Brazilian president reiterated calls for a diversified global trade system, including reducing reliance on the US dollar.

Underlying the current showdown is America’s long-standing import dependence.

According to the recent US Geological Survey (USGS), in 2024, the United States was over 50 percent import reliant for 46 nonfuel mineral commodities — and fully import dependent for 12, including many critical minerals used in manufacturing, defense, and energy sectors.

Despite the mounting backlash, President Trump remains firm, repeatedly portraying the tariffs as necessary to protect American industries and secure better trade terms.

Whether this approach yields results or triggers prolonged trade wars remains uncertain. With less than three weeks before the tariffs take effect, stakeholder groups and nations remain varied in their approach and response to the impending sanctions.

But with little indication from the White House of a willingness to retreat, the global economic community is bracing for a turbulent second half of the year.

The Federal Reserve has brought in its inspector general to review a building expansion that has drawn fire from the White House, according to a source familiar with the issue.

Fed Chair Jerome Powell asked for the review, following blistering criticism of the project, initially pegged at $2.5 billion but hit by cost overruns that have brought accusations from President Donald Trump and other administration officials of “fundamental mismanagement.”

“The idea that the Fed could print money and then spend $2.5 billion on a building without real congressional oversight, it didn’t occur to the people that framed the Federal Reserve Act,” Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic Council, said Monday on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” “We’ve got a real problem of oversight and excess spending.”

The inspector general serves the Fed and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and is responsible for looking for fraud, waste and abuse. Powell’s request was reported first by Axios.

In a letter posted to social media last week, Russell Vought, head of the Office of Management and Budget, also slammed the project, which involves two of the Fed’s three Washington, D.C., buildings including its main headquarters known as the Eccles Building.

Vought, during a CNBC interview Friday, likened the building to the Palace of Versailles in France and charged that Powell was guilty of “fiscal mismanagement” at the Fed.

For its part, the central bank has posted a detailed frequently asked questions page on its site, highlighting key details and explaining why some of the specifications were changed or “scaled back or eliminated” at least in part due to higher-than-expected construction costs.

“The project also remediates safety issues by removing hazardous materials such as asbestos and lead and will bring the buildings up to modern code,” the page explains. “While periodic work has been done to keep the buildings occupiable, neither building has seen a comprehensive renovation since they were constructed.”

The Fed is not a taxpayer-funded institution and is therefore not under the OMB’s supervision. It has worked with the National Capital Planning Commission in Washington on the project, but also noted on the FAQ page that it “does not regard any of those changes as warranting further review.”

In separate comments, former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh, speaking Sunday on Fox News, called the renovation costs “outrageous” and said it was more evidence the central bank “has lost its way.” Warsh is considered a strong contender to succeed Powell when the latter’s term as chair expires in May 2026.

I remain very bullish and U.S. stocks have run hard to the upside off the April low with growth stocks leading the way. I expect growth stocks to remain strong throughout the summer months, as they historically do, but we need to recognize that they’ve already seen tremendous upside. Could technology (XLK) names, in particular, use a period of consolidation? Well, if we look at a 5-year weekly chart, the XLK really isn’t that overbought just yet:

The weekly PPO has crossed its centerline and is gaining bullish momentum. The recent price breakout suggests to me that we likely have further to run. And if you look at the weekly RSI, you’ll note that we’ve seen the weekly RSI move well into the 70s and even close to 80 before witnessing a market top or pause. Outside a bit of profit taking, I really don’t see the likelihood of a big selloff here. Keep in mind that the XLK represents 31% of the S&P 500. If the XLK doesn’t slow down, it’s very unlikely that we’ll see any type of meaningful decline in the S&P 500 either.

Growth vs. Value

Growth stocks have historically performed well over the summer months. One way to visualize this is to compare large-cap growth (IWF) to large-cap value (IWD) using a seasonality chart. Check this out:

The average monthly outperformance since 2013 is reflected at the bottom of each month’s column. If you add those numbers for May through August, you get +5.4%. If you add those numbers for the other 8 months combined, you get +0.6%. Clearly, large-cap growth has the tendency to outperform value from May through August. We’re in the growth “sweet spot” right now.

So Should We Lower Our Market Expectations?

I say absolutely not. Yes, we’ve run substantially higher off that April low, but I see more left in the tank. Will we see profit taking from time to time and could we see a period of consolidation? Sure. But I still believe that remaining on the sidelines is a big mistake as plenty of market upside remains. In fact, I see another somewhat forgotten asset class that’s poised to scorch 50% higher or more, possibly over the next 6 months. I’m investing in this area now, as I believe it’s in the early stages of a significant rally, and believe it would be prudent for you to take a look as well. For more information, simply CLICK HERE, provide your name and email address, and I’ll send you a video that explains exactly why I’m favoring this group right now!

Happy trading!

  • Project-wide exploration activities focused on drill target refinement are ongoing, including:

    • Over 20-line km of induced polarization (IP) geophysics has been completed along the JD Porphyry Trend.

    • Over 1,000 soil samples have now been collected across the Belle South grid, the southern extent of the JD Porphyry trend.

    • Geological mapping and prospecting are ongoing with a current focus on McClair Creek which transects the JD Porphyry Trend. Mapping has also been completed along the Finn to Creek Corridor as well as the Oxide Peak West target.

‘It’s exciting to see the drill rig turning on the first hole of our fully funded $6 million exploration program,’ said Niel Marotta, CEO of Sun Summit Minerals. ‘This year’s campaign is focused on advancing and expanding the Creek and Finn gold-silver targets, while also generating and refining new priority targets across the JD Project. With several large regional programs underway in the northern Toodoggone, we expect a steady stream of news throughout the season, including drill results from our own aggressive 5,000 metre program.’

JD Exploration Program

The primary exploration goals at the JD Project are to advance and expand the Creek and Finn gold-silver targets and to generate and refine new priority targets across the project. Work is currently focused on the highly prospective 4.5 km long epithermal-related Finn to Creek corridor, as well as the 12 km long JD Porphyry trend (Figure 2).

Drilling update: Drilling has now commenced with the rig advancing the first hole of the program at the Creek Zone. Up to 3,000 meters of drilling is planned at the Creek Zone with holes designed to investigate the extent and continuity of near-surface, high-grade and bulk-tonnage gold mineralization (e.g., 122.53 m of 2.11 g/t Au including 1.5 of 121.0 g/t Au in CZ-24-0047 and 22.0 m of 11.7 g/t Au including 4.0 m of 61.2 g/t Au in CZ97-0085, Figure 3). Following completion of the Creek Zone holes, the drill rig will move to the Finn zone where up to 2,000 meters of drilling is planned with holes designed to evaluate the extent and continuity of near-surface high-grade and bulk-tonnage gold mineralization (Figure 4).

Target generation update: Project-wide exploration activities aimed at target generation and drill target refinement are ongoing, including:

  • Over 20-line km of induced polarization (IP) geophysical surveying has been completed along the JD Porphyry trend east of the Finn Zone. Additional surveying is planned across parts of the Finn to Creek corridor to infill historical gaps.
  • Over 1,000 soil samples have now been collected across the Belle South grid, southern extent of the porphyry trend (Figure 2). Once complete, sampling will continue across the Kadah grid which covers a highly prospective area south of the Finn to Creek corridor lacking historical soil coverage.
  • Geological mapping and prospecting are ongoing with a current focus on McClair Creek which transects the JD Porphyry trend. Mapping has also been completed along the Finn to Creek corridor as well as the Oxide Peak West target. Mapping will continue east towards the East McClair target (Figure 2).

Timeline: Drilling and complementary exploration activities are anticipated to continue into September.

Stallion Uranium Corp. (the ‘ Company ‘ or ‘ Stallion ‘ ) (TSX-V: STUD ; OTCQB: STLNF ; FSE: FE0) is pleased to report the results from the 3D inversion of ground gravity data over the Coyote Target, located within the Southwestern Athabasca Basin Joint Venture (‘ JV ‘) Project in partnership with Atha Energy Corp. (‘Atha Energy’) (TSX-V: SASK) .

 

‘The inversion modelling at Coyote has delineated a laterally extensive and coherent gravity low, spatially coincident with a structurally complex corridor exhibiting attributes characteristic of fertile uranium-bearing systems within the Athabasca Basin,’ said Matthew Schwab, CEO of Stallion Uranium Corp. ‘The robustness of the geophysical anomaly, in conjunction with the structural and lithological setting, provides compelling evidence supporting Coyote as a high-priority target for drill testing.’

 

  Highlights:  

 

  • 3D gravity inversion completed and interpreted by leading geophysical experts specializing in the Athabasca Basin
  •  

  • Identified multiple gravity-low anomalies along a major conductive corridor
  •  

  • A prominent, coherent gravity-low feature interpreted as a zone of alteration along an interpreted structural corridor
  •  

  • Strong correlation between the gravity anomalies and conductive breaks identified from the MobileMT survey
  •  

The inversion results highlight a gravity-low anomaly commonly associated with significant uranium mineralization systems in the Athabasca Basin. The modelled anomaly defines the low-density feature’s depth extent, shape, and continuity, further supporting the potential for large-scale uranium alteration at Coyote.

 

‘The 3D gravity inversion provides a powerful validation of the overall prospectivity at Coyote,’ said Darren Slugoski, Vice President, Exploration at Stallion Uranium. ‘The inversion highlights a series of at least five compelling targets within an 8.5 km corridor. We are well-positioned to take the next steps toward discovery with a subsequent ground EM survey (currently being interpreted by Convolutions Geoscience) in addition to a focused and systematic drill program.’

 

The inversion results visualize subsurface density variations, with the anomaly’s geometry and intensity suggesting prolonged fluid movement and alteration; critical vectors toward uranium mineralization. The alignment of the gravity-low with previously defined conductive trends and interpreted structural corridors underscores a compelling geological model. The results validate the exploration strategy at Coyote and refine the prioritization of drill targets based on integrated geophysical and structural frameworks.

‘The 3D gravity inversion model at Coyote reveals a well-defined low-density anomaly that is both laterally extensive and vertically continuous,’ said Kyle Patterson, P. Geo., Principal Geophysicist at Convolutions Geoscience, a leading consulting firm specializing in advanced geophysical modelling and geologic integration. ‘This type of geophysical signature is commonly associated with deep-seated structural zones and extensive hydrothermal alteration; both key indicators in targeting basement-hosted uranium deposits in the Athabasca Basin. The spatial correlation with interpreted MobileMT conductors, observed alteration patterns, and interpreted shear zones further support the interpretation that the Coyote project hosts the ideal geological pathfinders for a significant uranium system.’

  About Kyle Patterson:  

 

Kyle Patterson, P. Geo., is the Chief Geophysicist and founder of Convolutions Geoscience, a geophysical consulting firm specializing in advanced modelling and interpretation techniques for mineral exploration. With over 15 years of experience in the industry and a focus on high-resolution geoscientific data integration in the Athabasca Basin, Kyle has worked extensively with uranium explorers to define and refine targets using gravity, magnetics, and EM inversion modelling. His expertise is in interpreting complex structural and alteration systems, bridging geophysics with geological understanding to drive discovery-focused exploration.

 

  Gravity Data Inversion:  

 

Convolutions Geoscience inverted the ground gravity data, utilizing industry-standard 3D inversion techniques to estimate subsurface density variations from the processed gravity data. The objective was to assist in delineating alteration zones of interest for uranium exploration.

 

Convolutions Geoscience carried out a 3D inversion of the gravity data to create a voxel product of subsurface density anomalies using the industry-standard Fullagar Vertical Prism Magnetic and Gravity (VPmg) codes. The inputs into the inversion were the free air anomaly from the dataset; lake bathymetry data for water depth; digital terrain model (DTM) for the project area, in addition to NASA Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) data for surrounding areas; and density constraints for sandstone cover rocks above the unconformity as well as basement rocks below the unconformity. Convolutions created a VPmg gravity inversion using 40m x 40m surface XY blocks and Z blocks of 10m at the surface, increasing by 5% at depth. The total model block depth exceeds 10km.
