PREMIER AMERICAN URANIUM REPORTS 10 FT OF 0.064% EU3O8 IN ONGOING DRILLING AT KAYCEE, WYOMING
Premier American Uranium Inc.
has released another positive update on mid-season results from the 2026 exploration drilling program at the company's wholly owned Kaycee project, located in the Powder River basin of northeastern Wyoming. Initial drilling at the West Diane target has intersected uranium mineralization in six of eight holes, including 10 feet grading 0.064 per cent eU3O8 in drill hole WD26-012. Following encouraging results at Rustler, Premier American secured an additional 1,883 acres of mineral rights, extending the target area north and west, connecting the Rustler and Stampede claim blocks, and bringing its total land package to 31,724 acres.
As of Sept. 25, 2026, Premier American has completed 80 conventional mud-rotary drill holes for a total of 65,620 feet (30 holes and 23,660 ft since the company's last reporting), representing approximately 66 per cent of the planned 100,000 ft program. Drilling is currently focused on West Diane, with a return to Rustler planned following completion of the West Diane campaign.
2026 program highlights
-
Encouraging initial results at West Diane: Six of eight drill holes, totalling 7,360 ft, encountered uranium mineralization at grades of 0.02 per cent eU3O8 or higher (Table 1). Notably, drill hole WD26-012 intercepted 10 ft of 0.064 per cent eU3O8, including 5.5 ft of 0.076 per cent and two ft of 0.092 per cent eU3O8.
-
West Diane drilling tests extensions of known mineralization: Historical drilling identified two discrete sandstone host target units within the Fort Union formation, one of two historically productive host formations in the Smith Ranch-Highland area of the Powder River basin. Current drilling focuses on the upper unit to better define the trend and extent of the paleochannel partially delineated by historic drilling. Infill, stepout and confirmation holes are all planned to verify and expand areas of known uranium mineralization.
-
Additional uranium intercepts at Rustler: Six of the 22 newly reported drill holes intersected uranium mineralization grading at least 0.02 per cent eU3O8, including 2.5 ft grading 0.063 per cent eU3O8 in RT26-121 and 3.5 ft grading 0.037 per cent eU3O8 in RT26-116 (see Table 1).
-
Rustler mineral rights expanded by 1,883 acres: Encouraging drilling results prompted Premier American to secure additional mineral rights immediately north and west of the existing claim block, extending the target area, and connecting the Rustler and Stampede claim blocks.
-
Two mineralized sandstone units identified at Rustler: Drilling has identified two mineralized sandstone host units, both within the lower Wasatch formation. Uranium mineralization has been encountered in both sands, and gamma results, which indicate possible stacked roll fronts in the upper unit.
-
Rustler drilling to resume across expanded target area: Drilling was paused after 45 holes while Premier American secured adjacent mineral rights. With those rights now secured, drilling is expected to resume after the West Diane campaign, weather permitting.
Colin Healey, chief executive officer of Premier American, commented: "Our 2026 program continues to deliver encouraging results across Kaycee. Drilling at the West Diane target has returned uranium mineralization in six of our first eight holes, including 10 ft grading 0.064 per cent eU3O8, the thickest mineralized interval reported from this year's program to date. These results provide a strong basis for follow-up drilling to test extensions of known mineralization. At Rustler, encouraging results prompted us to secure an additional 1,883 acres to the north and west, positioning us to test further exploration opportunities. With approximately two-thirds of the planned drilling complete, we look forward to advancing West Diane and returning to our expanded Rustler target area."
Michael Harrison, chairman, commented: "Kaycee represents one of the largest grassroots uranium exploration programs in the United States, with an expanded land package spanning approximately 31,724 acres in Wyoming's prolific Powder River basin. Our ongoing drilling is demonstrating the potential of this extensive land position, while the addition of strategically located mineral rights connecting the Rustler and Stampede claim blocks strengthens our exploration footprint. PUR is focused on adding essential uranium resources in the United States."
Kaycee project
The Kaycee project in Wyoming's Powder River basin (PRB) consists of over 42 square miles of mineral rights over a 36-mile mineralized trend hosting more than 110 miles of identified roll fronts. The project is believed to be the only project in the PRB where all three known historically productive sandstone formations (Wasatch, Fort Union and Lance) are mineralized and potentially accessible for ISR extraction. Premier American's exploration team are undertaking the largest grass-roots ISR drill program in the United States, with upwards of 400,000 ft of drilling completed since 2023.
Premier American anchors one of the strongest exploration portfolios in Wyoming, combining its Cyclone project in the Great Divide basin with Kaycee to drive one of the largest continuing drilling programs in the state and significantly expand its presence in both of the state's major ISR-amenable uranium districts.
Qualified person statement
The scientific and technical information contained in this news release was reviewed and approved by J.J. Brown, PG, SME-RM, Premier American's vice-president, exploration, who is a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 -- Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. Ms. Brown has verified the data disclosed in this news release, including sampling, analytical and test data underlying the information contained herein.
The drilling results cited in this news release were derived from conventional mud rotary drill holes and continuously recorded geophysical responses (gamma-ray, spontaneous-potential and single point resistivity) from a borehole geophysical probe. All drill holes are vertical in orientation and the geologic units hosting the uranium mineralization are generally very flat lying, therefore reported thicknesses are considered to approximate or modestly exceed true thicknesses. Grades of mineralization reported were calculated from the gamma-ray logs following a procedure that was first developed in the early 1960s and is standard practice in the uranium industry. The borehole geophysical logging was carried out by Hawkins CBM of Casper, Wyo., a highly experienced and skilled geophysical contractor with a well-established history of providing reliable and accurate data.
