Collective Metals finds radioactive zones at Rocas uranium project

Collective Metals Inc. (CSE: COMT) reported detecting strong radioactivity at multiple locations during its recent exploration program at the Rocas Uranium Project in Saskatchewan, Canada.

The company completed mapping and sampling activities from September 30 to October 8, 2025, at the 4,002-hectare property located 75 kilometers southwest of the Key Lake Mine. The exploration team recorded 73 handheld scintillometer readings above 300 counts per second, with 10 measurements exceeding 10,000 counts per second at the surface.

The highest radioactivity reading reached 33,000 counts per second at a historical uranium showing designated SMDI 5781, which previously recorded uranium concentrations of 1,100 parts per million. The company collected 16 outcrop and boulder samples for geochemical analysis at Saskatchewan Research Council laboratories.

Collective Metals operates the project under a three-year earn-in option agreement with Standard Uranium Ltd. (TSXV: STND). The exploration program identified previously undocumented radioactive anomalies across geological formations considered favorable for uranium and rare earth element mineralization.

The company plans to conduct its first drilling program at the property in 2026 to test targets along a 7.5-kilometer exploration corridor that has not been previously drill-tested. Historical surface samples from approximately 900 meters of strike length have returned uranium values ranging from 587 parts per million to 0.498% uranium oxide.

"We are very excited to have confirmed encouraging radioactive presence at the Rocas Uranium Project," said Christopher Huggins, chief executive officer of Collective Metals.

The Rocas project is positioned approximately 72 kilometers south of the Athabasca Basin margin, with bedrock under minimal glacial till cover providing shallow drill targets.
