Tetra Zone Progress Update | RCTV Press Release with F3 Uranium
Why It Matters
Extending mineralization confirms a larger, open‑ended uranium system, boosting F3 Uranium’s growth prospects and investor appeal in a high‑demand market.
Key Takeaways
- •First meaningful uranium discovery in Clearwater domain, western Athabasca Basin
- •Tetra Zone mineralization extends 275 m along strike from core intercepts
- •Hole 26‑226 recorded half‑meter interval with 1,400 cps radiation
- •No repeat high‑grade hits, but vectoring data confirms structural continuity
- •2026 drilling will target potential new uranium zone indicated by step‑out
Summary
Sam Hartman, VP Exploration at F3 Uranium, delivered a winter‑drill update highlighting progress at the Tetra Zone, the company’s first meaningful uranium discovery in the Clearwater domain of the western Athabasca Basin. The announcement follows a 2025 discovery that proved the area, previously deemed non‑prospective due to a lack of classic graphitic conductors, can host significant mineralization.
The latest step‑out program tested extensions of the mineralized shear. While the team did not replicate the high‑grade hits from the fall core, hole 26‑226 returned a half‑meter interval registering 1,400 counts per second, and mineralization was traced 275 m along strike from the primary intercepts. This confirms the shear remains open and continuous, providing critical vectoring data for future targeting.
Hartman emphasized that the lack of repeat high‑grade results does not diminish the value of the vectoring information, noting the structure’s continuity could link to a new uranium zone. He described the findings as “very solid” and indicated that the step‑out may have intersected a previously unrecognized mineralized pocket, which will become the focus of the 2026 drilling campaign.
The implication is clear: the Tetra Zone’s strike‑length extension keeps the project’s upside potential alive, positioning F3 Uranium to potentially add a new resource segment in 2026. Continued drilling could elevate the company’s reserve base, attract capital, and strengthen its foothold in a region prized for high‑grade uranium deposits.
