Global Uranium's Wyoming Play: Mapping a Path to Domestic Supply

CALGARY, Alberta – December 09, 2025 – In the world of junior mining, press releases announcing the completion of geological mapping are common, often passing with little fanfare. Yet, for Global Uranium Corp. (CSE: GURN), a recent update from its Airline Project in Wyoming is more than just a technical milestone; it's a critical move that sharpens the focus on a potential new source of domestic uranium just as the world clamors for nuclear fuel. The company has moved its asset from a broad concept to a project with specific, high-priority targets, laying the scientific groundwork for a pivotal 2026 drill program.

The announcement details the completion of a mapping program that validates the geological thesis for uranium deposits in a historically prolific region. While no drills have turned and no resource has been defined, this ground-level work is the essential, de-risking step that separates geological theory from tangible opportunity. For investors navigating the resurgent but volatile uranium sector, understanding the story behind this transaction—from rock formations to market formations—is key to identifying what comes next.

Deciphering the Geological Blueprint

The significance of Global Uranium's latest news lies not in a discovery, but in confirmation. The work, completed by Big Rock Exploration in Wyoming's Wind River Basin, has validated the presence of the key ingredients for a significant uranium system. The mapping confirmed widespread Tertiary Wagon Bed Formation—a unit known for its tuffaceous sandstones, which are derived from volcanic ash and can be a primary source of leachable uranium.

More importantly, geologists mapped the contact between this younger sedimentary rock and the ancient Archean crystalline basement. This "unconformity" is one of the most sought-after geological features in uranium exploration. Globally, some of the largest and highest-grade uranium deposits, particularly those in Canada's Athabasca Basin, are found at or near such unconformities. They act as a geological trap, where uranium-bearing fluids moving through the porous sandstones can interact with fluids from the basement rock, causing the uranium to precipitate and accumulate in potentially economic concentrations. The documentation of anomalous radioactivity, bleaching, and clay alteration right at this contact on the Airline Project is a textbook indicator that such a mineralizing process may have occurred.

Adding to the intrigue, the fieldwork identified a second priority target: a distinct layer of arkosic sandstone informally dubbed the "Scorpion Unit." These sandstones, which share characteristics with the prolific Wind River Formation that hosts major deposits elsewhere in the basin, show promising porous textures and localized radiometric highs. The visible presence of secondary uranium minerals like autunite and possible metatorbernite near the unconformity serves as the final piece of this initial puzzle. While these minerals themselves don't constitute an orebody, their existence confirms that uranium is present and mobile within the system—a geological "smoke" that strongly suggests a fire may be burning at depth.

A Strategic Move in a Resurgent Market

This technical progress at the Airline Project cannot be viewed in a vacuum. It represents a calculated step in Global Uranium's broader strategy to build a portfolio of North American uranium assets at a time of unprecedented demand. The so-called "nuclear renaissance" is in full swing, driven by a global push for carbon-free baseload power and heightened energy security concerns. This has propelled uranium prices to multi-year highs and created a fertile environment for explorers capable of bringing new domestic supply online.

Wyoming, the leading uranium-producing state in the U.S., is central to this narrative. The state's rich history, which saw the Wind River Basin alone produce hundreds of thousands of pounds of uranium in the mid-20th century, provides a proven geological endowment. However, decades of low prices left many prospective areas under-explored with modern techniques. Global Uranium's methodical approach—starting with historical data compilation in 2024, followed by reconnaissance surveys, and now detailed mapping—is a textbook case of how a junior explorer can systematically add value.

The company's commitment to the region was further underscored by its strategic expansion of the Airline Project in late November 2025, staking new claims that increased its land package to over 660 hectares. This move suggests management's growing confidence in the geological model and a long-term vision for the area. As CEO Ungad Chadda stated, "These results will play a meaningful role in refining our next steps and informing our broader exploration strategy.” For a junior company, demonstrating such a clear, science-driven path forward is crucial for attracting the capital needed for the next, more expensive phase of exploration.

The View from the Street and the Path Forward

For all its geological promise, Global Uranium remains a junior explorer, and its stock performance reflects the inherent volatility of the sector. The path from mapping to mining is long, expensive, and fraught with risk. The market often reacts to incremental news with sharp swings, and investors must weigh the long-term potential against short-term uncertainty. The completion of the mapping program is a significant de-risking event, but the ultimate test of the Airline Project's value lies ahead.

With the geological map in hand, the company's technical team will now integrate this data with results from pending radiometric surveys and geochemical assays. This combined interpretation will culminate in the definition of precise drill targets for 2026. This is where the story pivots from surface observation to subsurface discovery. The upcoming drill program will be the moment of truth, testing whether the favorable geology and surface anomalies translate into a coherent, potentially economic uranium deposit at depth.

Funding this next stage will be the company's primary corporate challenge. Having closed a C$1.5 million financing in September 2025, the company has capital for near-term work, but a comprehensive drill campaign will likely require further financing. Success will hinge on management's ability to convey the strength of its technical case to the market. Global Uranium operates in a competitive landscape, with established producers like Ur-Energy actively developing assets in Wyoming. To stand out, a significant discovery is paramount. The groundwork has been meticulously laid, and now the focus for the company, its investors, and the industry shifts to that all-important next step: the drill bit.
