08:30 AM EDT, 07/21/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Foremost Clean Energy ( FMST ) on Monday said it hired Caur Technologies to conduct an ambient noise tomography survey on its Murphy Lake South Uranium Property located in the Athabasca Basin region of northern Saskatchewan.

The company said that the ambient noise tomography (ANT) survey is designed to refine targets along a "notable trend" of stacked graphitic conductors associated with known unconformity offsets south of MP-15-03. It also aims to generate new targets along east-west and northeast trending structural corridors defined by magnetics and EM, which are largely untested by historical drilling.

The ANT survey, scheduled to begin this week, is expected to produce a three-dimensional seismic velocity model of the subsurface by measuring natural background vibrations.

The phase 1 diamond drilling program is expected to start upon the completion of the ANT survey in August, testing targets within 200-350 meters of surface. A phase 2 2026 winter program is planned to expand on successful results and test additional conductive trends best accessed via lakes.

"Recent ANT surveys across the basin have successfully mapped alteration halos extending 1-2 km, with velocity anomalies correlating to known mineralization at deposits like IsoEnergy's Hurricane," said Foremost Clean Energy's ( FMST ) President and Chief Executive Officer, Jason Barnard. "With drilling commencing post-survey, ANT sharpens our targeting and adds confidence as we test Murphy's most prospective zones."

In U.S. pre-market trading, Foremost Clean Energy ( FMST ) was last seen up 4.5% to $2.5286.
