Strathmore Plus Uranium Corporation announced that the company is planning a 100hole drill program for a total of 15,000 feet this summer once the drilling permit is approved. In conjunction with drilling, Strathmore will conduct nearsurface and downhole geophysical research, along with the University of Wyoming to vector into new drilling target locations.Strathmore has teamed with Dr. Brad Carr, Director of the University of Wyoming's Near Surface Geophysical Center, and his students on digitizing the available historical drill data utilizing Neuralog software. Strathmore will contribute to the research by providing access to historical and modern data generated at the Agate property.

The Agate project is wholly owned by Strathmore and was previously explored by KerrMcGee Corp. in the 1970's. KerrMcGee was the large producer of uranium in the United States at the time. They also produced from the Shirley Basin deposits, which were 7 miles east of the Strathmore property.

Other uranium companies in the basin include Cameco, enCore Energy, UR Energy, and UEC, whose claims border the Agate property. The Agate property consists of 52 wholly owned lode mining claims covering 1,075 acres. The uranium mineralization is contained in Wyomingtype roll fronts within the Eocene Wind River Formation, an arkosicrich sandstone.

Historically, 55 million pounds of uranium were mined in Shirley Basin, including from openpit, underground, and the first successful insitu recovery operation in the US during the 1960s. At the property, the uranium mineralization is shallow, from 15 to approximately 150 feet deep, much of which is below the water table and likely amenable to insitu recovery. The average thickness varies from several feet to tens of feet, with grades ranging from 0.02% to 0.18% eU3O8 as noted on the historical gamma logs.
