The 2026 program will focus primarily on the Loki and Tatiggaq target areas, where prior drilling and exploration have confirmed strong uranium fertility, extensive alteration, and encouraging mineralization. At Loki, Geiger has intersected the first uranium mineralization at the unconformity within Thelon Formation sandstone at relatively shallow depths, alongside a large alteration system analogous to those associated with major Athabasca Basin uranium deposits. At Tatiggaq, the Company is advancing a high-grade basement-hosted uranium discovery that remains open for expansion.Targeting will focus on identifying key structural traps that have led to alteration and uranium enrichment, in hopes of uncovering the first true high-grade uranium intersection in the Thelon Basin. Tatiggaq is already a high-grade prospect that only requires systematic drilling to determine the size and extent of the mineralization. \"The objective of the program is clear, to vector toward and discover high-grade uranium mineralization. The Thelon Basin is the last major undeveloped high-grade uranium play in the world. Orano's known undeveloped deposits (Kiggavik Project) and Geiger's high-g...
