Uranus X Discovery Company (STMXF) raises $1.16 million for Asabasca equity options… accelerating exploration progress

UraniumX Discovery (OTC:STMXF) Focused on its core assets in the Athabasca Basin, Canada, the company is simultaneously advancing equity transactions, fundraising, and exploration expansion to accelerate its growth strategy. On April 27 (local time), the company announced that it had signed a letter of intent with Pond Technologies, granting it an option to acquire 100% interest in the “Main Bay Uranium Project” within Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin. The project consists of approximately 19,850 hectares across 15 mineral rights areas. Pond can obtain this interest after meeting the conditions of issuing 16 million shares, paying $350k in cash, and making a $4.5 million exploration investment. The final transaction is subject to the signing of a formal agreement, approval by the TSX Venture Exchange, shareholder approval, and other routine conditions.

Fundraising is also underway. UraniumX completed its last non-brokered private placement on April 16, raising a total of $1,162,200.07. In this final tranche, the company issued 660k common shares at $0.17 per share, raising $112,200. The proceeds will be used for exploration at the Murphy Lake and Main Bay projects, with a mandatory hold period applicable until August 17, 2026. The company paid $7,854 in fees for this transaction.

Previously, on March 31, the company issued 6,176,471 common shares at the same price in the first tranche, raising $1.05 million. These funds were also allocated to exploration of the same projects, and under Canadian tax law, exploration expenses incurred until December 31, 2027, can be transferred to investors. The lock-up period for these securities extends until August 1, 2026.

Exploration activities have also been fully launched. The company is conducting 9.2 line kilometers of MLEM geophysical surveys in the Murphy Lake area to prepare for drilling plans in spring 2026, aiming to precisely locate targets approximately 5 kilometers south of IsoEnergy’s “Hurricane Deposit.” Additionally, the company has granted 1.5 million stock-based RSUs and is advancing efforts to raise up to $1.5 million through additional common share offerings.

Industry commentary suggests that, with expectations of rising uranium prices and renewed focus on the high-grade uranium potential of the Athabasca Basin, early-stage exploration companies are actively raising funds and expanding partnerships. Particularly, the “adjacent exploration strategy” around large deposits, if successful, could significantly enhance enterprise value, attracting close market attention.
