Hathor Exploration was a Canadian uranium exploration company focused on high grade uranium deposits in Saskatchewan. The company advanced structured drilling campaigns and feasibility studies. Infrastructure planning targeted integration with established uranium processing facilities. Hathor Exploration contributed to uranium resource discovery prior to acquisition by larger operators.

Hathor Exploration was established in 2004 to pursue uranium exploration opportunities within the Athabasca Basin of Saskatchewan, one of the richest uranium regions globally.

In 2008, Hathor announced the discovery of the Roughrider uranium deposit, a high grade find that significantly increased its market valuation and industry visibility.

Following competitive acquisition bids, Hathor Exploration was acquired in 2012 by Rio Tinto, integrating the Roughrider project into a major multinational mining portfolio.

Primary Mining Regions
Hathor Exploration focused on uranium exploration within the Athabasca Basin following its establishment in 2004. The Roughrider discovery in 2008 highlighted the basin exceptional uranium potential.

Infrastructure and Processing Facilities
Exploration programs were supported by drilling platforms and geological evaluation systems designed to define high grade uranium resources suitable for future mining development.

Strategic Geographic Advantage
Location within a globally significant uranium district positioned the company assets for integration into established milling and export systems prior to its 2012 acquisition.

In 2024, the Roughrider uranium project formerly developed by Hathor Exploration remained under Rio Tinto evaluation for future development potential.

Technical assessments during 2024 reviewed geological modeling and infrastructure planning aligned with evolving uranium market fundamentals.

In 2025, continued emphasis was placed on strategic asset positioning and long term development feasibility studies within the Athabasca Basin.
