Drilling Commences at Aventis Energy’s Flagship Uranium Project

Aventis Energy CA05358H1091

After a prolonged period of anticipation, Aventis Energy has initiated a landmark drilling campaign at its Corvo project within Canada's Athabasca Basin. This move marks the first deep drilling activity on the property in more than forty years, breaking the operational silence of recent weeks and refocusing market attention on the site's substantial geological promise. The announcement provided immediate upward momentum for the company's shares.

In early January 2026, the Canadian uranium exploration firm launched a 3,000-meter diamond drilling program. The primary target is the previously untested "Manhattan Zone." This long-awaited operational phase follows extensive preparatory work, including comprehensive gravity surveys completed in Q4 2025.

The drilling is strategically focused on areas where 2025 surface sampling returned exceptionally high-grade uranium readings of up to 8.10% U₃O₈—the highest ever recorded on the property. Historical data from the same zone had indicated concentrations nearing 60,000 ppm. The core objective for geologists is to determine whether this high-grade surface mineralization continues at depth.

Share Price Rebounds on Operational News

The start of drilling operations catalyzed a significant recovery in the equity's valuation. The stock had touched a 52-week low of €0.13 at the start of the year, pressured by a lack of news flow, which subsequently attracted buyers at depressed levels.

Recent trading activity reflects renewed investor confidence:
* Weekly Gain: The share price has advanced 23.40% over a seven-day period.
* Year-to-Date Performance: An increase exceeding 20% since the beginning of the year.
* Technical Momentum: A Relative Strength Index (RSI) reading of 73.3 signals strong short-term buying pressure.

Investors are advised to note prevailing trading conditions, however. Liquidity can be thin at times, which may result in notable price disparities across different trading venues.

Solid Financial Backing for the Program

The exploration program is underpinned by secure funding. In late 2025, Aventis Energy successfully raised approximately CAD 2.5 million. A key detail of this financing was the issue price of CAD 0.41 per share, representing a significant premium to the prevailing market price at the time. This premium is viewed as an indicator of strong institutional belief in the project's potential. The raised capital is earmarked specifically for the Corvo exploration program.

Upcoming Catalysts and Timeline

The company's schedule for the coming months is clearly defined. As drilling progresses, initial indications will be gathered from visual inspections of the core samples and down-hole radioactivity measurements, often providing early clues before formal assay data is available.

Definitive laboratory assay results are anticipated by the end of Q1 2026. Concurrently, the company plans to release its quarterly financial figures in early February 2026. The paramount factor for the investment thesis and further share price movement will be whether the drilling campaign successfully confirms the high-grade mineralization identified at surface.
