Standard Uranium CEO, Jon Bey and Vice President of Exploration, Sean Hillacre talked with Proactive at the latest One2One Investor Forum about the company’s uranium exploration strategy in Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin, upcoming drilling at the flagship Davidson River project, and the growing global demand for nuclear energy. CEO Jon Bey explained that Standard Uranium was founded in 2017 during a weak uranium market with the vision that nuclear power would become an increasingly important part of the global energy mix. He highlighted that the Athabasca Basin remains one of the world’s premier uranium districts, with exceptionally high grades and strong long-term exploration potential. Vice President of Exploration Sean Hillacre, formerly with NexGen Energy, discussed how Standard Uranium is applying modern exploration techniques to search for a potential tier-one uranium discovery. Hillacre stated: “We’ve done it before, and we’re using newer versions of the same technology and methods that we used at NexGen to find Arrow.” The discussion also covered the accelerating demand for nuclear energy, the role of uranium in powering AI-driven data centres, and the widening long-term supply gap expected across the uranium market. #StandardUranium #Uranium #NuclearEnergy #AthabascaBasin #UraniumStocks #MiningStocks #EnergyTransition #NuclearPower #UraniumExploration #DavidsonRiver #SeanHillacre #JonBey #CanadianMining #SmallCapStocks #ProactiveInvestors
