VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aventis Energy Inc. ("Aventis" or the "Company") (CSE: AVE | FRA: C0O0 | OTC: VBAMF) is pleased to announce that Standard Uranium Ltd. ("Standard") has filed a technical report (the "Report") entitled "Technical Report on the Corvo Property - Northeastern Saskatchewan, Canada" prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") on the Corvo Project ("Corvo" or the "Project"). The Report was co-prepared by Axiom Exploration Group Ltd. ("Axiom") and has an effective date of October 24, 2025. The Report is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and is published on Standard's website at www.standarduranium.ca.
Qualified Persons
All scientific and technical information contained in the Report summarizing the work completed to date on the Project has been reviewed and approved by Troy Marfleet, P.Geo., of Axiom, co-author of the report and independent Qualified Person ("QP") under the definitions established by NI 43-101. The Report was co-authored by Sean Hillacre, M.Sc., P.Geo., President and VP Exploration of Standard, QP under the definitions established by NI 43-101. The Report does not contain a Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") in accordance with NI 43-101.
The QPs have reviewed and verified that the technical information with respect to all the Company's exploration efforts to date contained in the Report are accurate and have approved the written disclosure of such information. The Report is intended to be read as a whole, and sections should not be read or relied upon out of context.
About the Corvo Project
The Company currently has an active definitive agreement with Standard to acquire a seventy-five percent (75%) interest in the 12,265 hectare Project located in the eastern Athabasca Basin region, targeting high-grade basement-hosted uranium. The Project is situated 1.5 km outside the current margin of the Athabasca Basin, approximately forty-five (45) kilometres northeast of the Gemini Mineralized Zone ("GMZ"; Please see Figure 1).
The Company believes the Project is highly prospective for the discovery of high-grade basement-hosted uranium mineralization akin to the Rabbit Lake deposit and the recently discovered GMZ. Several outcrop showings of mineralized veins and fractures are present on the Project, notably the Manhattan Showing that returned recent sample results up to 8.10 wt.% U3O8 at surface1 and has never been drill tested. The Project is also prospective for rare earth element ("REE") mineralization, potentially providing additional value upside.
