Myriad Uranium (CSE:M) - From Historical Data to Drill-Confirmed Resource: The Phase 2 Plan
Why It Matters
Confirming a multi‑hundred‑million‑pound uranium resource would give Myriad a rare domestic supply foothold, driving investor interest and supporting U.S. energy security goals.
Key Takeaways
- •Myriad Uranium launches Phase 2 drilling to verify historic resources.
- •Targeting 27 M‑lb historic core and potential 655 M‑lb endowment.
- •Expecting 20‑60% grade boost in disequilibrium corrections assays.
- •Sale of Red Basin adds $2.5 M cash, boosting bank balance.
- •Aim to upgrade historic data into NI 43‑101 compliant resources.
Summary
Myriad Uranium (CSE:M) announced a Phase 2 drilling program aimed at converting its extensive historical uranium data into a modern, NI 43‑101‑compliant resource. The company’s two U.S. projects—Copper Mountain in Wyoming and Red Basin in New Mexico—are positioned for a senior‑exchange listing as the firm seeks to demonstrate tangible resource upside.
The drill plan focuses first on the 27 million‑pound historic core at Copper Mountain, where Department of Energy and Bendix Engineering once estimated a 655 million‑pound endowment down to 600 ft. By executing roughly 4,500 m of drilling—deep and shallow holes—the team expects to confirm and potentially expand these historic grades, leveraging a 20‑60 % disequilibrium correction that could significantly raise assay results. Peripheral targets, including the Lucky Cliff intercept (85 ft at 12,200 ppm), will be tested in subsequent stages.
CEO Thomas Lamb highlighted the grade‑boost potential and cited recent successes, such as the 85‑ft high‑grade intercept and the sale of the Red Basin project to tech investors 8VC and Overmatch for $2.5 million, which lifts the cash balance to roughly C$12 million. The company maintains a low burn rate and plans to fund Phase 2 largely from existing cash, with infill drilling to follow using cost‑effective RC methods.
If Phase 2 validates the historic resource and delivers the anticipated grade uplift, Myriad could file a new NI 43‑101 estimate, attract institutional capital, and position itself for a NASDAQ or NYSE American listing. The outcome also aligns with broader U.S. policy aimed at securing domestic uranium supply amid rising demand for nuclear power and strategic fuel‑cycle initiatives.
