Expansion of Blue Sky's Main Focus at the Corcovo Uranium Project, Argentina Announced
Blue Sky Uranium Corp., a leading uranium discovery company in Argentina, has announced the expansion of the principal target at its Corcovo Uranium Project in Mendoza Province. The expansion is based on the review and integration of data from an additional 104 historical oil & gas (O&G) wells [1].
The company has incorporated these wells into its dataset, generating a new uranium-equivalent (eU) × thickness map for the Centenario Core horizon. This data integration has confirmed uranium-equivalent and gamma-ray anomalies consistent with roll-front style mineralization and indicates significant lateral continuity in the Centenario Core horizon [2].
A single principal corridor of eU anomalies was identified, with one mineralized body within that corridor measuring roughly 2.2 kilometres along a northwest-southeast trend and about 500 metres in width [1][2]. The northwestern extent of the mineralized corridor remains open, indicating potential for further expansion through additional data integration and drilling [1][2].
The identification of a continuous corridor and a large 2.2 km × 0.5 km body increases the prospectivity for a potentially extensive roll-front in an aquiferous horizon. This type of geometry is amenable to in-situ recovery (ISR) methods if hydrogeological and metallurgical conditions are favourable [1].
Using historical O&G well logs to map gamma anomalies and eU is a cost-efficient early-stage approach. However, such results are preliminary and require confirmatory fieldwork to define true uranium grades, thicknesses, continuity, and amenability to ISR [1][2].
The current results are based on historical O&G data and gamma/eU anomalies rather than direct assay results from uranium-targeted drilling. Assay confirmation and contemporary geotechnical/hydrogeological data are needed to quantify resources and assess ISR suitability [1][2].
Key next steps that would materially de-risk the target include targeted exploration drilling to obtain chemical assays, hydrogeological testing (groundwater chemistry, permeability), metallurgical testing for solvency and mobility of uranium, and 3D geological/hydrogeological modelling [1][2]. At the time of writing, Blue Sky’s announcements do not report such drilling results [2].
The Corcovo Project covers 20,000 hectares at the northeastern margin of the O&G producing Neuquén Basin. The company has implemented continuous geological control through direct sampling and mud logging, allowing real-time reconstruction of lithology and stratigraphy [2].

The integration of 104 historical oil and gas wells data has led Blue Sky Uranium Corp. to generate a new uranium-equivalent (eU) × thickness map, which has confirmed significant uranium potential in the energy sector, specifically in the finance-backed industry of uranium discovery. The identified single principal corridor of eU anomalies and the large 2.2 km × 0.5 km body suggest potential for further financeable opportunities through additional data integration and drilling operations.
