One hole intersected 5 discrete intervals of anomalous radioactivity, each 0.5 m to 1.0 m wide, between 352.0 m and 649.5 m downhole in strongly altered basement rock. The peak of 4,400 cps, recorded from 610.5 m to 611.0 m, is the highest handheld reading F3 has logged in an exploration hole on PLN outside the JR and Tetra zones. Assays are pending.\nThe hole tested up-dip of an earlier step-out that had shown encouraging alteration without radioactivity. CEO Ross McElroy said the follow-up confirmed the same alteration and structural preparation and added radioactivity. He is not expecting high grade, offering a loose estimate of around 0.25% U3O8, and F3’s release cautions that handheld readings do not reliably correlate with assay grades. Two other holes, about 1.3 km southeast and 1.6 km south of Tetra, hit strong alteration but no radioactivity above 300 cps. The approximately 3,350 m winter program around Tetra returned one reportable interval of 0.5 m at 0.06% U3O8.\nF3 has added a second rig dedicated to the new area through the December freeze-up, while the first rig tests regional targets. The summer and fall program started at about 4,000 m in roughly half a dozen holes and is now targeting about 5,500 m to 6,000 m, with crews returning by mid-January. McElroy said the direction of the controlling structure can only be found by drilling, and that continued spending depends on hole-by-hole improvement. Results will shape the 2027 program.\nGeologically, McElroy expects any mineralization east of Tetra...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/1wv-MFlQAgnm-ca64e5kK4984dZB0os8-HJdRVsI74M/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzEzNTcyLzE2MjM5/NTQyMDctYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
