EagleOne Metals pivots to uranium and appoints Shane Lowry as interim CEO

EagleOne Metals Corporation (CSE: EAGL, FSE: I2J, OTCQB: EGLMF) announced on September 14, 2026, a leadership overhaul and a clear strategic shift: uranium is now at the core of its mineral exploration activities. Shane Lowry has been appointed interim CEO and Board member, while founder Matthew Markin takes on the role of Chief Financial Officer.

Lowry brings over 25 years of senior leadership experience across the United States and Canada. His background spans public and private company transactions, capital raising, corporate governance, and cross-border relationship building in the commodities sector. In recent years, he has focused specifically on uranium, pursuing exploration and development opportunities and cultivating ties with industry operators and investors. Markin, for his part, will retain oversight of corporate finance, regulatory compliance, and investor relations, working alongside the new CEO in executing the company’s long-term strategy.

The move reflects a firm conviction: global uranium demand is structurally on the rise. The company explicitly points to renewed interest in nuclear energy in the United States as a factor opening the door to new strategic, technical, and financial partnerships. This is not an exit from the existing portfolio, but a reallocation of priorities. EagleOne intends to evaluate uranium-related assets and opportunities while keeping its current mining projects active, including the Hébécourt Township property in Quebec and the Magusi West gold project in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt.

The company’s most recent uranium asset is the Poison Springs Uranium Project, acquired in March 2026 in Utah, approximately 55 kilometers south of Hanksville. The project comprises ten mining claims covering a total of roughly 84 hectares. Historical drilling carried out by Cotter Corporation in the nearby Hatch Canyon between 1978 and 1979 had already confirmed widespread mineralization in the area. Follow-up targets lie at depths of less than 100 meters, and the Triassic Chinle geological formation holds additional potential for copper, vanadium, and rare earth elements. Uranium is on the U.S. critical minerals list — a detail that carries real weight in a geopolitical climate where Washington is actively working to reduce its dependence on foreign supplies.

The Board of Directors has been partially reconstituted. The new Audit Committee includes Howard Blank, Robert Hall, and Lowry himself, with Blank confirmed as committee chair. The governance structure is thus aligned with the company’s new operational phase.

EagleOne is a small Canadian junior explorer, but its repositioning toward uranium taps into a broader trend. Dozens of junior companies are updating their priorities in response to the recovery in U3O8 prices and growing government commitments to nuclear energy across North America and Europe. For EagleOne, the real challenge lies in turning geologically promising assets into credible development opportunities — attracting capital and experienced technical partners in the sector. The new leadership team appears to have been assembled with precisely that goal in mind.
