Dr. Pan is an internationally respected geoscientist whose career has combined academic leadership with pioneering research in mineralogy, geochemistry, and economic geology. After earning his PhD from the University of Western Ontario in 1990, he joined the University of Saskatchewan in 1993, where he has since trained and mentored a generation of Canadian geologists. Over nearly three decades, his research has spanned a broad spectrum of mineral commodities including gold, graphite, lithium, rare earth elements, and uranium.
Importantly, Dr. Pan’s research group developed a novel exploration technique that uses alpha-particle-induced defects in quartz as a powerful vectoring tool for identifying uranium deposits. This breakthrough method was initially applied to Saskatchewan’s world-class Key Lake and McArthur River uranium mines, and has since been extended to other notable discoveries including the Maw Zone, Phoenix Deposit, and Arrow Deposit.
Lester Esteban, CEO of the Company, commented: “For almost 30 years, Dr. Pan has helped shape the geological expertise coming out of the University of Saskatchewan; many geologists working in the Athabasca today were his students. I’ve followed his research closely, and the uranium exploration technique he pioneered represents a significant advancement in how we approach discovery. Having Dr. Pan working alongside our exploration group will provide us with a distinct technical advantage as we advance our projects in the Athabasca. We are extremely fortunate to welcome him to as a Technical Advisor.”
With this appointment, Stearman strengthens its technical expertise and reinforces its commitment to advancing exploration in the Athabasca Basin, one of the richest sources of high-grade uranium in the world. The Company believes Dr. Pan’s insight and innovative research will play an important role in unlocking the discovery potential at its three uranium projects in Canada.
The Company also announces that it has granted 600,000 restricted share units (“RSUs) to certain consultants and officers of the Company, with vesting periods of up to two years, in accordance with the Company’s Restricted Share Unit Plan. The Company further announces that another 600,000 share purchase warrants have been exercised and the $60,000 proceeds received.
