Recording date: 15th October 2026
Geiger Energy Corp. (TSXV:BEEP) is a uranium explorer focused on the Aberdeen Project in Nunavut’s Thelon Basin. The basin shares the geological ingredients of Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin but has been far less explored. Geiger’s 2026 season produced two grassroots discoveries that give the company its strongest technical case to date.
Both discoveries sit on the Andrew Lake Fault, a northeast-trending structure that runs through Orano’s Kiggavik-area deposits. Orano reports a historical estimate of about 127.3 million pounds of U₃O₈ Indicated and 5.4 million pounds Inferred at Kiggavik. The fault extends about 17 km across the Aberdeen Project.
Late in the season, CEO Dr. Rebecca Hunter moved both of the company’s drills to two targets that had never been tested. At Fox, the first hole returned elevated radioactivity over roughly 50 m from just below the overburden. One hole intersected five zones over 89.8 m from 41.0 m depth. Its strongest zone peaked at 15,022 cps on the downhole probe. The three Fox holes together test only about 50 m of a 1.3 km gravity anomaly.
At Apollo, 10 km along strike, the discovery hole returned localised readings above 400 cps. A bold 100 m step-out intersected 45 m of elevated radioactivity from about 40 m to 85 m depth. Readings are lower than at Fox. Hunter argues that the thickness of low-level radioactivity, combined with the right alteration and host rocks, points to a fertile system. Only one of Apollo’s three gravity anomalies has been drilled.
The Thelon’s practical advantage is cost. Geiger’s presentation puts typical target depths at about 250 m, compared with about 800 m in the Athabasca. Testing a target costs about C$200,000 against roughly C$480,000, and Hunter’s track record adds credibility. She was with Cameco when its team made the Tatiggaq and Qavvik discoveries, the last new finds in the basin before Fox and Apollo.
The company is now in the off-season. Assays from Fox and Apollo are expected later this autumn, with results from Tatiggaq and Loki to follow. These assays will provide the first laboratory confirmation of grade. The presentation outlines a projected 2027 programme of about 25,000 m, using four to five rigs on a budget of about C$20 million. That programme is not yet funded.
Corporate figures in the presentation show a share price of C$0.22, 88.1 million shares outstanding and a basic market capitalisation of about C$20 million. The board is discussing how to focus the company on Aberdeen and possible distribution or sale of its Athabasca assets.
