About this update from Homeland Uranium Corp.
[{"type":"text","content":" Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 5, 2026) - Homeland Uranium Corp. (TSXV: HLU) (OTCQB: HLUCF) (FSE: D3U) (\"Homeland\" or the \"Company\") reports the commencement of a detailed geological mapping, prospecting and sampling program at its 100%-owned Cross Bones Uranium Project (the \"Project\"), located near Dinosaur, Colorado (Figure 1). The mapping program is designed to verify historically reported radioactive occurrences, assess the distribution and characteristics of uranium mineralization at surface, and identify new areas of elevated radioactivity. The program will also support refinement of geological targets in advance of a future drilling program anticipated in the second half of 2026. Mapping and prospecting activities are expected to be completed over a period of approximately one month. The program will evaluate three prospective priority target areas (Figure 1), which will be assessed sequentially based on exploration potential. The highest priority mapping area encompasses the area surrounding the Cross Bones Uranium Deposit (formerly called the Skull Creek Uranium Deposit) based on drilling completed in 1978-1979 by Anschutz Uranium Corp. and Ashland Minerals. Bluerock Resources conducted follow-up drilling in 2006. The Cross Bones Uranium Deposit outcrops at surface and is hosted within the Sego Sandstone and possibly the Isles Formation, a member of the Upper Cretacous-age Mesaverde Group Formation. The Sego Sandstone and Iles Formation is overlain by the younger Upper Cretaceous-age Williams Fork Formation and the Palecocene-age Fort Union Formation, the target horizon at the Company's Coyote Basin Project. The Company recently acquired a second dataset for the Cross Bones Project (see the Company's news release of February 26, 2026) which included key historical exploration information such as drill hole locations, surface radioactivity, and outcrop sampling results that were not previously in Homeland's possession. The amalgamation of the new dataset with Homeland's existing data has had a significant positive impact on the Company's understanding of the Cross Bones Uranium Project and the historical uranium mineralization encountered on the property. This new dataset saves the Company several millions of dollars of future exploration costs that will not have to be incurred and at leas...
