VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- StallionUraniumCorp. (the “Company& or “Stallion&) (TSX-V: STUD; OTCQB: STLNF; FSE: B76) is pleased to announce the mobilization of personnel and equipment for the upcoming diamond drilling program at its Moonlite Property, located in the Athabasca Basin of northern Saskatchewan, and the execution of a drilling contract with Base Drilling Ltd. to advance the Coyote Target. The Company has also appointed Mr. Paulo Santos as its incoming Chief Financial Officer, bringing significant strategic, financial, and regulatory expertise to the Company.
Mobilization for Winter Drilling Program at Coyote:
Mobilization activities are currently underway at the Moonlite Property, including trail construction, equipment staging, and camp preparations. Drilling is expected to commence shortly and will focus on the Coyote Target, a high-priority uranium target defined by integrated geological interpretation and geophysical datasets.
The Coyote Target exhibits favorable structural complexity and geophysical characteristics consistent with basement-hosted uranium mineralization in the Athabasca Basin. The upcoming drill program is designed to test these features and evaluate the potential for high-grade uranium mineralization.
“We are thrilled to announce that Base Drilling is now fully mobilized, with drilling preparations actively underway at our Moonlite Project,& said Matthew Schwab, CEO of Stallion Uranium. “The Coyote Target stands out as one of our highest-priority prospects in the world-renowned Athabasca Basin. This drilling program represents a pivotal milestone, propelling us closer to unlocking a significant uranium discovery and delivering substantial value for our shareholders.&
Darren Slugoski, VP Exploration, added, “The Coyote Target has been refined through extensive geophysical interpretation and structural analysis. This drill program is designed to test key basement structures and geophysical responses that we believe are highly prospective for uranium mineralization.&
Stallion has formally engaged Base Drilling Ltd. as the drilling contractor for the Moonlite drill program. Base Drilling has extensive experience in Athabasca Basin uranium exploration and a strong track record of executing winter drilling programs safely and efficiently.
The Company selected Base Drilling based on their basin-specific expertise, operational reliability, and ability to support exploration programs in northern Saskatchewan.
