Atomic Eagle Limited Announces Further Results from its Maiden Drill Program at the High- Priority Chisebuka Target Within the Broader Muntanga Uranium Project in Zambia
Atomic Eagle Limited announced further results from its maiden drill program at the high-priority Chisebuka target within the broader Muntanga Uranium Project in Zambia. Chisebuka was drilled previously between 2007 and 2010, on a 400m x 100m spaced grid and indicated continuity of mineralised lenses between drill lines, from surface to approximately 110m depth. Chisebuka Drill Program. Atomic Eagle completed its 69-hole (7,235m) drill program in late 2025, designed as an infill drill program to a nominal 200m x 100m drill pattern, with some areas closed up to 100m x 100m. Additional drilling is planned during 2026, which would allow a Mineral Resource Estimate to be completed over the entire target area. Following completion of the initial Chisebuka drill program, AEU is planning another round of drilling to close up the hole spacing to 100m x 100m centres. AEU is planning a comprehensive exploration drill program at the broader Muntanga Project area in 2026, aimed at growing the current resource. It is anticipated that the drill program will be the largest undertaken at the Muntanga Project in 17 years. The gamma tool used by Atomic Eagle has been calibrated at the Grand Junction calibration pits by Mt Sopris prior to arrival on site and the tool was run weekly in a lined test hole to test repeatability. Furthermore, the results from the Atomic Eagle logging tool were compared with results from logging contractors Terratec, who logged most of the holes during the last 4 years, and a further calibration factor was applied to the company's gamma results to be consistent with older data. Diamond drill holes will be drilled in future drill programs and the gamma tool will be verified against the assay data to confirm the result. The sonde is brand new and was only used for the data collection this year and was calibrated at the Grand Junction calibration facility (Colorado) in 2024 by the supplier prior to delivery. Readings were obtained at 1cm intervals downhole., Gamma readings provide an estimate of uranium grade in a volume extending approximately 40 cm from the hole and thus provide much greater representivity than laboratory assays using core or chip samples., Chemical assays will be used to check for correlation with gamma probe grades; disequilibrium is not considered an issue for the project., Drilling techniques, Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc). Open hole hammer (DTH) (diameter of 150mm) was the main drilling technique used, no samples were collected for assay as the quality of the samples is not considered representative. All holes were logged using a gamma sonde., All holes were surveyed using a Mt Sopris QL40-DEV tool to define the inclination and drift of holes., Drill sample recovery, Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed., Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples., Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material., No core or drill chips were collected for sampling as the uranium grades are determined from down hole gamma log data., The lenses of uranium mineralisation at Chisebuka dip approximately 15o, it is assumed that intercepts are close to true width., No bias applies, Logging, Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate, Drill chip samples from RC and DTH drilling were laid out in piles next to the rigs for geological logging. However, prior to developing a Ra-Grade correlation raw probe data must be adjusted to account for gamma signature attenuation associated with the logging environment, such as the size of the drill hole, fluid presence within the drill hole, casing/steel parameters and probe correction factors., Criteria, JORC Code explanation, Verification of sampling and Verification of sampling and assaying, Verification of sampling and assays, Verification of sampling and Assaying, Verification of sampling.
