Geiger Energy Extends Kiggavik Trend With Second First-Hole Uranium Discovery at Aberdeen

Geiger Energy's first hole at the Apollo target returned uranium mineralisation, the company's second grassroots discovery at Aberdeen in two weeks.

  • The first hole ever drilled at the Apollo target, APL26-001, intersected approximately 16 metres of elevated radioactivity across two zones between 206 and 228 metres depth.
  • The discovery follows Geiger's first-hole find at the nearby Fox target, announced on September 1, 2026, located 10 kilometres away.
  • Apollo and Fox both sit on the Andrew Lake Fault, the same structural corridor associated with Orano's Kiggavik-area uranium resources.
  • Both targets, previously untested by drilling, delivered uranium mineralisation on the first hole drilled at each.
  • Follow-up drilling is planned at Apollo and Fox, with more than 50 additional targets identified across the wider Aberdeen project.

Geiger Energy Corp. (TSXV: BEEP) (OTCQB: BSENF) is a Canada-based uranium exploration company with land positions in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin and Nunavut's Thelon Basin. The company controls approximately 338,000 hectares in the Athabasca Basin and roughly 95,500 hectares in the Thelon Basin. Its Aberdeen project, in the Thelon Basin, hosts the existing Tatiggaq and Qavvik discoveries along with more than 50 identified drill targets, several of which, including Fox and Apollo, had not previously been drill tested. In the Athabasca Basin, Geiger is also advancing its Hook project, which includes the near-surface ACKIO discovery.

Second Grassroots Uranium Discovery at Apollo Target Extending Kiggavik-Fox-Apollo Structural Trend Across Aberdeen

Drill hole APL26-001, the first hole completed at Apollo, intersected two zones of elevated radioactivity between 206 and 210 metres and 216 and 228 metres depth, with additional elevated readings beginning at approximately 68 metres. Radioactivity within these zones was largely above 80 counts per second, a unit used to measure radioactivity with a handheld scintillometer, with some intervals exceeding 200 counts per second and localised readings above 400.

The strongest readings occurred in rock affected by clay alteration, bleaching and hematite staining, a type of iron oxide discolouration, hosting small blebs and disseminated grains of uranium minerals. Geiger describes this alteration pattern as the same one observed at the Fox discovery two weeks earlier.

Apollo sits on the Andrew Lake Fault, the structural corridor also associated with Orano's Kiggavik-area uranium resources, historically estimated at approximately 133 million pounds. This is a historical estimate and has not been verified as a current mineral resource under applicable disclosure standards. The fault extends approximately 17 kilometres across the Aberdeen project, passing through Fox before reaching Apollo, 10 kilometres away.

Two-for-Two First-Hole Discovery Rate Validating Gravity, Magnetic and Structural Targeting Model

Geiger selects drill targets using gravity and magnetic surveys, which detect variations in rock density and magnetism below surface, combined with mapped fault structures. The approach is designed to identify locations with geological characteristics similar to those associated with the Kiggavik deposits.

Fox and Apollo are the first two targets tested using this method, and both returned uranium mineralisation on the first drill hole completed at each.

The radioactivity reported to date has been measured using a handheld scintillometer, which provides a qualitative indication of radioactive minerals present. It does not measure uranium grade directly, and confirmation requires laboratory assay results, which had not yet been reported at the time of this release.

Follow-Up Drilling Prioritized at Apollo and Fox While Additional Targets Across 50-Plus Anomaly Pipeline Advance

Geiger has stated that follow-up drilling at Apollo and Fox is an immediate priority. At Apollo, the target comprises three gravity anomalies extending over approximately 3.7 kilometres, of which only the central anomaly has been drill tested. Additional untested anomalies of similar character lie along the same corridor.

Beyond Fox and Apollo, Aberdeen includes more than 50 identified targets in total. Geiger intends to continue testing these targets through the remainder of the 2026 drilling programme.

Rebecca Hunter, President and CEO of Geiger Energy, said:

"Two grassroots targets, two discoveries each with the first hole. That is not luck. It is the targeting model doing exactly what we said it would do at Aberdeen."

She added:

"We believe this is the beginning of a new uranium district."

Milestones and Next Steps

Geiger has reported two first-hole uranium discoveries within a two-week period, at Fox on September 1 and at Apollo on September 14, 2026. Planned next steps include follow-up drilling at both targets and continued testing of additional anomalies across the Aberdeen project through the remainder of the 2026 programme. Laboratory assay results for both Fox and Apollo had not yet been released at the time of this announcement.
