Eagle Nuclear Energy hires consultants for Aurora uranium drill program

Eagle Nuclear Energy Corp. (NASDAQ: NUCL) has engaged three consulting firms to support a drill program at its Aurora Uranium Project, located along the Oregon-Nevada border, according to a press release from the company.

The engagements include a new agreement with Yukuskokon Professional Services, LLC and expanded agreements with BBA USA Inc. and SLR International Corporation. The company said all three firms are expected to play roles in executing the planned drill program, pending regulatory permit approvals from state-level regulators in Oregon.

Yukuskokon will provide turnkey project management and geological support. BBA will handle real-time geological modeling, drill hole targeting, resource consulting, and preparation of standard operating procedures. SLR will support hydrogeological and geochemical objectives, including groundwater monitoring well installation, slug testing, sample collection, and hydrogeological modeling.

Eagle's VP of Operations, Vishal Gupta, stated, "With the engagement of Yukuskokon, all major operational contractors are now in place for an efficient execution of our proposed PFS-related drill program. We are now waiting for permit approvals from the state-level regulators in Oregon before commencing drilling activities at Aurora."

The drill program is intended to support a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) the company expects to complete in the second half of 2027. Eagle claims to own the largest conventional, measured and indicated uranium deposit in the United States, with the Aurora deposit holding 32.75 million pounds indicated and 4.98 million pounds inferred under SK-1300 standards.
