Bedford Metals Corp. has reported diamond drilling results from its Sheppard Lake Uranium Project on the southern margin of Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin, returning up to 0.133% U3O8 over 0.6 metres from the TZ-1 conductive anomaly.

The spring 2026 drill program comprised 1,135.71 metres across four diamond drill holes. A total of 218 samples—comprising 104 drill core and 114 composite samples—were analyzed at the Saskatchewan Research Council Geoanalytical Laboratory in Saskatoon for multi-element, U3O8, and boron assays.

Drill holes SHP-26-03 and SHP-26-04 targeted the TZ-2 conductive anomaly, while SHP-26-05 and SHP-26-06 tested the TZ-1 conductive anomaly. Hole SHP-26-05 intersected 0.133% U3O8 over 0.6 metres from 21.4 to 22 metres, with a total digestion of 1,190 parts per million uranium, alongside an adjacent interval of 0.04% U3O8 from 20.9 to 21.4 metres. Scintillometer readings within the same interval reached up to 1,447 counts per second in a pegmatite, and spectrometer readings returned up to 121.1 parts per million uranium and 48.1 parts per million thorium.

Hole SHP-26-06 encountered a near-continuous mineralized run from 19.5 to 48 metres, hosting multiple 0.5 to 1.5-metre intervals ranging between 0.014% and 0.049% U3O8. The highest assay in this hole returned 0.049% U3O8 from 36 to 37 metres, with 419 parts per million uranium total digestion. Composite samples from the 20 to 30-metre depth range averaged 0.02% U3O8, equating to 190 parts per million uranium total digestion.

Both SHP-26-05 and SHP-26-06 intersected mineralized intervals at roughly the same depth, indicating a laterally continuous, shallow mineralized horizon. The spring program delivered an upgrade over earlier work at the property, comparing favourably with May 2026 sampling that returned up to 0.032% uranium at the same TZ-1 target.
