Survey marks the first geophysical program at Aurora, generating data to prioritize targets across the Project's Athabasca Basin position
CALGARY, Alberta, June 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Traction Uranium Corp. (CSE: TRAC) (OTC: TRCTF) (FRA: Z1K) (the "Company" or "Traction") is pleased to announce that the planned airborne radiometric survey has commenced at the Aurora Uranium Project ("Aurora" or the "Project"), located in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin region. Traction holds an option to acquire an 80% interest in Aurora from Cosa Resources Corp. ("Cosa"), subject to satisfying certain earn-in requirements (please see news release dated February 11, 2026). The Aurora Project covers approximately 17 kilometers of prospective strike along the southeastern margin of the Athabasca Basin.
The airborne radiometric survey is being completed to evaluate radiometric responses across the Project and to support the prioritization of target areas for future exploration. The survey is expected to provide important dataset for refining exploration planning at Aurora, including the identification of areas for future ground follow-up, target validation, and potential drill-target refinement.
"Getting a survey aircraft over Aurora is a real step forward," stated Jared Suchan, Chief Executive Officer of Traction. "The Athabasca Basin is one of the most productive uranium districts in the world, and this program gives us our first project-wide read on where the radiometric signal is strongest across our 17 kilometers of strike. That is exactly the kind of data we need to determine where to concentrate next."
The Company expects the survey data to be processed and interpreted following completion of flight operations. Results will be integrated with existing geological and geophysical information to support future exploration planning at the Project.
