Global Uranium Widens Its Footprint at Wyoming’s Airline Uranium Project

Global Uranium Widens Its Footprint at Wyoming’s Airline Uranium Project

Global Uranium Corp. is quietly bulking up its position in one of Wyoming’s historic uranium regions, Globe Newswire reports.

The company says it has significantly expanded its Airline Project in the Copper Mountain uranium district, adding several new claim blocks around its original land package.

The new ground was staked by Big Rock Exploration on public land managed by the US Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Those claims still need formal BLM approval before they’re officially registered under Global Uranium’s name, but on paper, the project just got a lot bigger.

Here’s how the land position has grown:

  • The original Airline Project consisted of:

    • One BLM claim block: about 60 hectares;

    • A separate Wyoming State Mineral Lease: 258 hectares, roughly 4–4.2 km away.

Now, Global Uranium has added three more BLM claim areas by staking:

  • 7 hectares to the north;
  • 205 hectares to the west;
  • 134 hectares to the east.

Put together, the Airline Project now covers roughly 664 hectares.

The bigger footprint gives the company more continuous coverage over what it describes as “favourable geological trends” in the district — in other words, more room to explore where the rocks look promising for uranium.

“Expanding the Airline Project is an important step in strengthening our position in the Copper Mountain district,” CEO Ungad Chadda said. “Securing a larger, continuous land package positions us well as we evaluate the district’s prospective geological trends and advance our exploration plans.”

The newly staked claims are still going through the standard BLM processing and approval pipeline, so nothing is final until the agency signs off.

Global Uranium’s Vice President of Exploration, Dr. Jared Suchan (Ph.D., P.Geo.), has signed off on the technical details of the expansion as the company’s Qualified Person under Canadian securities rules (NI 43-101).

Global Uranium Corp. is a North America–focused uranium explorer with projects in both Canada and the US, including:

  • Wing Lake Property – Mudjatik Domain, northern Saskatchewan;
  • Northwest Athabasca Joint Venture – with Forum Energy Metals and NexGen Energy in Saskatchewan;
  • Multiple Wyoming projects, including:
    • Great Divide Basin District;

    • Gas Hills District;

    • Copper Mountain District (where the Airline Project sits).

The company is betting that a larger, more strategic land position in Wyoming’s uranium country will set it up for more meaningful exploration in the years ahead.
