The upcoming program is expected to focus on priority targets within the Company’s Slovakian manganese portfolio, including areas associated with historical exploration and development. A key objective of the program is to evaluate the metallurgical and battery-grade manganese potential of the district, alongside verifying the reliability of historical results using modern exploration and analytical methods. Further details regarding drill mobilization, program design and target areas will be provided as the program advances. In parallel with the Company’s work in Slovakia, Union Power is also pleased to report that exploration activities at its uranium assets in Botswana remain on schedule. The Company has already completed airborne survey work over the project area, representing an important early step in advancing the exploration program and refining the geological understanding of the licences. Data generated from the airborne work will support the Company’s ongoing technical evaluation and assist in prioritizing areas for follow-up exploration. Union Power is advancing a portfolio of critical mineral assets in Europe and Africa, with a focus on disciplined exploration, technical validation and the identification of opportunities that may contribute to evolving Western supply-chain priorities. The Company expects to provide additional updates as work advances in both Slovakia and Botswana.
