Blue Sky Expands the Principal Target at the Corcovo Uranium Project, Argentina
OTCQB Venture Market (OTC): BKUCF
A new uranium equivalent grade-by-thickness (eU × thickness) map has been generated for the Centenario Core Horizon (see Figure 1). The map, which incorporates the 104 integrated wells, confirms the presence of the uranium mineralized zones consistent with roll front style mineralization. The northwestern extent of the uranium mineralized corridor remains open, suggesting potential for further expansion. Additionally, the map highlights a single principal corridor of uranium equivalent anomalies, along which multiple anomalies have been identified. One of these bodies is particularly noteworthy for its scale, measuring approximately 2.2 kilometres along a northwest–southeast trend and 500 metres in width (Figure 2). This data integration supports improved mapping of the uranium-bearing horizon and reinforces the potential for expansion of the uranium mineralized system.

Planned Activities and Data Acquisition
The technical team is currently working to incorporate the remaining 344 historical drill holes, which will further enhance the geological and mineralization model. In parallel, the Company is actively pursuing access to 3D seismic data. This expanded effort will improve resolution of subsurface structures and stratigraphy especially throughout the northwestern section of the corridor, which remains open.
In addition, Blue Sky plans to collect water samples from active oil wells operating under secondary recovery once the Company obtains the necessary permits, and sample drill cuttings from historical wells. These samples are intended for geochemical validation of legacy gamma-ray log data and will support critical geochemical studies to confirm mineralization and guide further exploration. This additional information will be integrated with the 3D seismic interpretation to refine the morphology of horizons with anomalous uranium equivalent and their relation to subsurface geologic structures. It will be important to determine the porosity/permeability characteristics of the host and adjacent geologic units to evaluate their amenability to potential ISR application. The process is underway to secure access to this information.

Methodology and QA/QC
Blue Sky obtained oil and gas drilling data for 104 wells drilled at the area for work conducted on the properties between 2006 and 2018 through a formal request to the Mendoza provincial authority (
Uranium equivalent values reported herein were obtained directly from calibrated spectral gamma-ray logs generated using NaI(Tl) crystal-based tools, with measurements taken approximately every 0.15 to 0.25 metres. Readers are cautioned that uranium-series disequilibrium may affect radiometric results, potentially leading to either underestimation or overestimation of actual uranium content.
The historical subsurface data integrated into Blue Sky
- Calibration and Control of Logging Equipment: Gamma-ray and other downhole sensors were routinely calibrated using industry-standard reference materials before and during acquisition campaigns to ensure accuracy and minimize equipment drift.
- Mud Logging Quality Control: Continuous geological control was implemented through direct sampling and mud logging, allowing real-time reconstruction of lithology and stratigraphy. Data collection included detection and quantification of gases, assessment of lithological changes, and monitoring of drilling parameters, contributing to high-resolution control over depth and stratigraphic correlation.
- Error Monitoring and Minimization: Protocols included redundant cross-checks of depth control through dual measurement systems (drill string length and wireline logging). Routine detection of measurement errors and recalibrations were documented, ensuring that error margins were kept minimal.
- Database Validation by Blue Sky:
Blue Sky Uranium has further validated the integrity of the historical data through a review of original reports and reprocessing of gamma-ray logs. Additionally, planned collection of drill cuttings and water samples from existing wells will support the calibration of equivalent uranium values against geochemical assays in the near term.
