Standard Uranium said on October 1 it had completed its 2026 summer drill campaign at the Davidson River project in Saskatchewan. The program drilled 6,734 metres across 12 holes along the Warrior, Bronco and Thunderbird structural corridors, and the company reported anomalous radioactivity in three holes.

The release describes 5.0 metres of composite intervals above 300 counts per second and notes that whole-rock geochemical and uranium assays were still pending. The company said the intervals are downhole lengths and true thicknesses cannot yet be determined. Radioactivity readings are preliminary exploration indicators, not confirmed uranium grades.
