Nexus Uranium Sets January 2026 Start for USFS Public Scoping at Chord Project

Nexus Uranium ( (TSE:NEXU) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Nexus Uranium Corp. announced that the U.S. Forest Service has confirmed public scoping will begin in mid-January 2026 for the federal lands component of its Chord Uranium Project in Fall River County, South Dakota, marking the transition into the formal NEPA public review phase. The company has already cleared several permitting milestones, including acceptance of its Plan of Operations, a memorandum of understanding with the USFS, pre-scoping consultations, and preparation of technical reports, and expects scoping to conclude by mid-July 2026, potentially under a categorical exclusion given the modest scale of the proposed 17-hole drilling program. With a state mineral board hearing pending and specialist environmental reports underway, Nexus views 2026 as a pivotal year for advancing Chord, which lies in a historic uranium district near enCore Energy’s Dewey Burdock project, underscoring the project’s strategic location and signaling meaningful progress for stakeholders tracking the company’s U.S. uranium development pipeline.
