Mustang Energy Corp. Completes Airborne MobileMT Survey at their Yellowstone Project, Saskatchewan and Provides Corporate Update
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mustang Energy Corp. (CSE: MEC, OTC: MECPF, FRA:92T) (the “Company” or “Mustang”) is pleased to announce the completion of a helicopter-borne Mobile MagnetoTellurics (“MobileMT”) survey on the Company’s Yellowstone Project, located in the Western Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan.
The MobileMT survey was completed by Expert Geophysics based out of Aurora, Ontario. A total of 373 line-kms was surveyed at a 400-metre line spacing to collect magnetic and VLF data. The survey was conducted over the Northeastern portion of the Yellowstone Project’s claim package with a focus on areas that have not previously been surveyed with deep penetrating electromagnetic (EM) survey methods. This MobileMT survey aims to detect conductors at depths exceeding 1000 meters, providing a more detailed resolution of these deeper structures which could potentially host uranium.
The Expert Geophysics team overcame challenging weather conditions, and successfully adapted to ensure a high-quality survey while prioritizing safety and data integrity. To optimize efficiency, the survey area was strategically adjusted to focus on high-priority zones. This proactive approach allowed for the collection of valuable data, which will be analyzed by Expert Geophysics. Results are expected within eight weeks of survey completion and will guide the next phase of exploration.
“We greatly appreciate the Expert Geophysics team for navigating through rough weather and look forward to receiving the results to advance exploration efforts on our Yellowstone project,” said Nick Luksha, CEO of Mustang.
About the MobileMT System
MobileMT is the latest innovation in airborne electromagnetics and one of the most advanced generation of airborne AFMAG technologies. The MobileMT technology utilizes naturally occurring electromagnetic (EM) fields in the frequency range of 25 – 20,000 Hz. Thunderstorms release energy, some of which is converted into EM fields that propagate through the ionosphere-Earth interspace. The EM fields and currents induced by these EM fields in the subsurface are used in MobileMT to identify variations in subsurface electrical resistivity.
The MobileMT technology is the product of extensive experience in developing equipment and signal/data processing algorithms for natural EM fields measurement. MobileMT combines the latest advances in electronics, airborne system design, and sophisticated signal processing techniques. The advanced noise processing technique of both electronic and signal processing levels ensures high data quality even for low natural EM fields.
The MobileMT survey system can effectively identify deep seated structures that may be associated with feeder fault systems to uranium mineralization, and is capable of detecting both the basement-hosted electromagnetic conductors and sandstone-hosted zones of anomalous resistivity commonly associated with Athabasca Basin uranium deposits.
MobileMT is capable of resolving resistivity contrasts to depths exceeding 1000 metres, and notably, previous MobileMT surveys have successfully identified basement conductors and alteration zones in the sandstone formations of prominent uranium deposits across the Athabasca Basin.
About the Yellowstone Project
The 100% owned Yellowstone Project is situated approximately 16 kilometres from the past producing Cluff Lake Mine in the Western Athabasca Basin. The project consists of seven adjoining claims totaling 21,820 hectares. The property surrounds the exterior of the Carswell Impact Structure and is adjacent to Fission Uranium’s West Cluff Project. The Carswell Impact Structure is thought to be related to a meteorite impact measuring ~18 km in diameter, which exposed basement rock that underlies the Athabasca Basin sandstone formations and hosts high grade uranium mineralization including the Cluff Lake Uranium Mine. The Yellowstone Project is transected by multiple conductors which are yet untested.
