About Us
UraniumX Discovery Corp. is a Canadian-based junior exploration company dedicated to unlocking the uranium potential of the Athabasca Basin, with the Murphy Lake Property at the heart of our efforts following the July 2025 acquisition. Located in Saskatchewan’s uranium-rich eastern edge, this promising site benefits from its strategic position near key exploration areas and favorable geological conditions, supported by our team’s advanced techniques and initial drilling successes that highlight its resource prospects.
Expanding our vision, UraniumX is also advancing the NeoCore and Zoo Bay properties across the Athabasca Basin, targeting diverse uranium systems and shallow geological formations. Our commitment to sustainable, innovative exploration drives the global transition to clean energy, positioning us as a key player in North America’s premier uranium landscape with a robust portfolio aimed at delivering investor value.
Expansive Land Package
The Murphy Lake property is located 15km from the Nova Showing (IsoEnergy Ltd.) which has similar depth to the unconformity as the Murphy property.
Targeted Focus
The exploration target is high-grade uranium, with the nearby deposits at La Roque Lake and the Hurricane Zone show the potential for mineralizatioin for the Murphy Lake Property.
Strategic Partnerships
An option agreement with F4 Uranium allows for a collaboration of exploration ideas and techniques that have proven very successful for Fission.
