Traction Uranium Corp. Reports Completion of Initial Diamond‑Drilling Program at Aurora Project
Traction Uranium Corp. (TRAC.CN) announced on Tuesday that its initial diamond‑drilling program at the Aurora uranium project in Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin has been completed. The program, conducted by Cosa Resources under a partner‑funded arrangement, involved two drill holes totaling 541 metres within the A1 conductive target area.
Key Findings
- Core logging confirmed the presence of graphitic basement rocks and brittle faulting, characteristics typical of Athabasca‑style uranium deposits.
- The drill results represent the first known intersection of faulted graphitic basement at Aurora.
- No significant hydrothermal alteration was intersected.
- Geochemical analyses are pending and will provide further insight into mineralization.
Traction Uranium’s option agreement allows the company to earn up to an 80 % interest in the Aurora project if specific exploration and financial milestones are met. The new geological information is expected to refine target interpretation and guide follow‑up work scheduled for 2027, which may include additional target generation and a larger drilling program.
