06:49 AM EDT, 07/18/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Mustang Energy ( MECPF ) late on Thursday said it has begun field exploration activities at the Surprise Creek uranium-copper project in the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan.

The field program will involve surface prospecting activities aimed at further refining target areas and outlining mineralization. The sampling program will be carried out over 20 days.

The company recently entered into an option agreement with Thunderbird Resources to acquire an undivided 80% interest in the project.

"Our goal is to collect robust geoscientific data to inform drill targeting and enhance the project's standing as a cornerstone asset within our growing exploration portfolio," said Mustang CEO Nick Luksha.
