ATHA Energy Corp. announced plans for its 2024 exploration programs at the Angilak project in Nunavut and across its large project portfolio in the Athabasca Basin.ATHA’s growth strategy is to focus on a combination deposit and discovery expansion at Angilak and the Gemini project, advanced drill exploration in parts of the Athabasca and Thelon Basins and at Angilak and greenfield exploration across its entire land package.
