Many founders see burnout as an unavoidable cost of success — but the truth is that it stems from avoidable patterns. Here are a few strategies to protect you and your business before it takes a toll.
Global Uranium Corp. (CSE: GURN | OTC: GURFF | FRA: Q3J) (the ” Company ” or ” Global “) and Forum Energy Metals Corp. (TSX.V: FMC; OTCQB: FDCFF) (” Forum “) are pleased to announce that it has commenced its diamond drilling program, as well as ground geophysical surveys on the Northwest Athabasca (NWA) Project, located along the northwest shore of Lake Athabasca in Saskatchewan, Canada (Figure 1). Drilling will be focusing on the Zone 2A and Andy grid areas and SJ Geophysics will be conducting ground Time Domain Electromagnetic (TDEM) and Direct Current Induced Polarization (DCIP) surveys over the Spring Bay grid (Figure 2).
Camp construction began in middle February and is now completed. Ongoing work with the local communities and First Nations will continue to be an important focus of the project as we move forward. Forum Energy Metals is the Operator of the Northwest Athabasca Project.
“The integration of historical geophysical datasets and legacy drill results gives us an advantage in identifying areas of high potential,” stated Ungad Chadda, CEO of Global Uranium. “We are pleased that the Forum exploration team’s knowledge and experience in Saskatchewan unconformity-style uranium deposits will shape the refined targeting strategy at the NWA Project, positioning us to unlock the site’s full value potential.”
Rick Mazur, CEO of Forum Energy Metals stated, “I am particularly proud of the Forum logistics team, the Athabasca Denesuline contractors and all contractors that have worked tirelessly for the last month to get a camp built and drill and supplies to site, since the ice road was constructed to Uranium City. Forum’s geological team can now test the exceptional potential of the project.”
Camp Construction, Ground Geophysics and Diamond Drilling
Camp construction is completed and is ready to support the upcoming exploration program. Supplies were brought into site largely by fixed wing aircraft using skis. A temporary ice road from Uranium City has been completed and additional fuel as well as the diamond drill and supplies were hauled to site. The drill program began on March 19 with Team Drilling as Forum’s drill contractor. The objective of the diamond drilling program is to test the Andy and Zone 2A trends and if time and weather allows testing additional high-priority targets at Gomer and Spring Bay (Figure 2). SJ Geophysics began the ground geophysical program at the Spring Bay Grid on March 2 and the survey is projected to take approximately 3-4 weeks.
The Northwest Athabasca Project
The Northwest Athabasca Project is located along the northwest shore of Lake Athabasca on the margin of the Athabasca Basin 1,000 km north-northwest of Saskatoon. The western margin of the property is situated along the Alberta – Saskatchewan provincial border and the closest community is Uranium City, which is 75 km west of the project. The project consists of 11 contiguous mineral claims covering 13,876 ha. Global has an option to earn 51% interest in Forum’s interest in the NWA Project by spending up to $9M over four years (see News Release dated May 30, 2024).
Quality Assurance and Quality Control
