VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mustang Energy Corp. (CSE: MEC, OTC:MECPF, FRA:92T) (the “Company” or “Mustang”) is pleased to announce that it has engaged Axiom Exploration Group (“Axiom”) to conduct an Aerial Electromagnetic Survey (“Xcite™ TDEM”) over its Dutton Project (the “Project“) in the southern Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan.
The Xcite™ TDEM survey is planned to commence in February 2025 and cover the eastern portion of the claim package which has not been previously surveyed for electromagnetic (EM) conductors. The airborne survey will precisely locate EM anomalies and aid in structural interpretations on the Project for future drill targeting.
Xcite™ is a new generation of helicopter-borne time-domain electromagnetic (TDEM) systems developed by New Resolution Geophysics (NRG™). Axiom is an exclusive provider of this service in North America. This state-of-the-art technology provides an efficient alternative to all prior TDEM technologies for mineral exploration. The system utilizes a patented inflatable transmitter loop with a diameter of approximately 20 meters, suspended about 30 meters below the helicopter. The Xcite™ system offers exceptional signal clarity, enabling the detection of subtle subsurface features. It features a programmable waveform with a fast turn-off time, allowing for flexibility in data acquisition and improved resolution of both shallow and deep targets.
About the Dutton Project
The Dutton Project, wholly owned by the Company, spans 7,633 hectares over three adjoining claims in the Southern Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan. Approximately 20 kilometres to the East of the Project lies the Virgin River Shear Zone which hosts known high-grade uranium deposits such as Cameco Corp’s Centennial Deposit. The property lies just west of the Cable Bay Shear Zone, a major structural discontinuity which is host to several uranium occurrences, and the underlying basement rock is hosted in the Mudjatik Domain. The project encompasses a diabase dyke complex, including conductive anomalies and elevated radioactivity.² Historical exploration (1978–1981) identified several features of interest, including weakly conductive EM anomalies, biogeochemical uranium enrichment, and radioactive dykes.³ The Project has never been drill-tested, and will benefit from additional geophysical surveys and surface sampling to aid in future drill target generation.
