Promising Uranium Finds Boost Premier’s Wyoming Project — And America’s Energy Future

Premier American Uranium is digging up more than just dirt in Wyoming — they’re uncovering serious potential.

The company just announced some eye-catching drill results from its Cyclone ISR Project in the Great Divide Basin. The July 2025 campaign confirmed uranium deposits in brand-new areas and expanded known mineral zones — including the discovery of a second mineralized trend. Translation? There’s a whole lot more going on underground than previously thought.

“We’re feeling really good about what we’re seeing at Cyclone Rim,” said CEO Colin Healey. “Every round of drilling gives us a clearer picture, and we’re zeroed in on both expanding what we already know and chasing down new opportunities.”

Cyclone is just one part of Premier’s larger game plan to play a major role in restoring domestic uranium production — a hot topic as the US looks to reduce dependence on imports, especially from politically unstable regions.

Premier’s got skin in the game across several historic uranium belts:

• Uravan Mineral Belt (Colorado): A once-bustling uranium and vanadium district that’s ripe for a comeback using modern tech.
• Grants Mineral Belt (New Mexico): Home to some of the biggest uranium deposits in US history, and Premier owns land close to those legacy mines.

And it doesn’t stop there — the company has land across key uranium-rich basins in Wyoming, including Powder River, Shirley, Wind River, and of course, Great Divide.

In case you missed it, uranium is having a bit of a renaissance. As the US works toward carbon-free energy and grid stability, nuclear power is crucial — generating nearly 20% of our electricity and doing it without carbon emissions.

It also plays a major role in national defense, powering naval vessels and backing up the Department of Energy’s strategic uranium reserves. With the global supply chain heavily tied up in Russia and its allies, revving up homegrown uranium production is a top priority in Washington.

Premier’s 2025 drill program is just heating up. With strong early results, the company says an expansion of the project is already on the table. They’re also staying laser-focused on in-situ recovery (ISR) — a more eco-friendly, lower-impact method of extracting uranium that’s become the industry go-to.

Wyoming has been the nation’s uranium leader for decades, and if Premier’s momentum holds, it’s poised to stay that way.
